Rockers 2 (ロッカー2?, Rokkā 2) is the 4th Rhythm Game of the tenth stage (49th overall) of Rhythm Heaven.

The long version, Rockers, appears in the sixth stage of Rhythm Heaven.

If the player has cleared Rockers 2 and has at least 35 Medals, The Guitar Lessons ★Technical Course★ is unlocked.

Gameplay

The gameplay is similar to before, though it utilizes more complicated patterns and adds pitch bending as a mechanic. This game notably features the use of the trigger buttons (🅁 being used in Righty mode, and 🄻 for Lefty mode) on the Nintendo DS to bend notes, similar to that of a whammy bar.

Controls

  • Tap: Mute strings
  • Tap (Hold): Mute strings/Prepare to strum
  • Tap (Release): Cancel
  • Flick: Strum
  • 🅁: Bend notes (Righty Mode)
  • 🄻: Bend notes (Lefty Mode)

Timing Display

  • Perfect!/Ace!?: The player strums correctly, causing white bolts to appear.
  • Early!/Late!?: The player strums slightly off tune, causing blue tears to appear.
  • Miss...?: If the player strums at the wrong time, the strum is very off tune, causing yellow vines to appear. Regardless if the player strums at the wrong time or doesn't strum when they should, J.J. Rocker stumbles over.

Trivia

  • This game is the only Rhythm Game to feature the use of button controls in Rhythm Heaven. It is also the only game to use 🄻 and 🅁 as mandatory inputs in the entire Rhythm Heaven Series.
  • This is one of the four arrange versions in Rhythm Heaven to have a new cue and Practice section, the other being Fan Club 2, Rhythm Rally 2, and Fillbots 2.
  • Like in Rockers, tapping on the screen causes the guitar to produce a sound as the player strikes a pose, preparing to strum. Although J.J. Rocker does these poses himself, sometimes doing it twice in rhythm, the player is not required to copy them.
    • Sliding the stylus around while posing causes the guitar to produce a muffled noise. This does not affect gameplay in any way. Performing the note bends causes a subtle noise to be heard as the student's hands slide across the strings.
      • Attempting to bend the notes while not strumming still causes the student's hands to move, though this does not produce noise. If the student is posing, this animation also causes them to stand up, though this does not prevent the player from strumming.
