The player is portrayed by one of the tiny ghosts: Ecto, the white ghost, who is in the front towards the right next to Boo-boo, the green one. The player is supposed to strum and jump in sync with the other Tiny Ghost next to it. The drummer, Spooky, in the back, will count to 3 (although he sometimes goes 1, 2, 1, 2, 3), giving you the cue to start strumming. The signal is usually near the climactic ending of the background song. There are 8 songs in total, named "Big Rock Finish A" through "Big Rock Finish H". The first and fourth strums are worth two beats, while the second and third are worth one. There are a total of four strums.

Trivia

• The crowd consists of ghosts of many different kinds, one of which is a Sneaky Spirit.
• The songs "Big Rock Finish B" through "Big Rock Finish G" are played in random order, but "Big Rock Finish A" is always first, and "Big Rock Finish H" is always last.
• The music in Remix 7 is an extended version of "Big Rock Finish A".
• The "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah Yeah!" cue during strumming presents its English dub in the German, Spanish, French and Italian versions of Rhythm Heaven Megamix, but Spooky's voice keeps its different dubs.
• The Japanese version has a different opening banner. Instead of ghosts on the letters, It is a spotlight on an empty table. The title screen used in Rhythm Heaven Megamix is based on the Japanese one.
• Big Rock Finish contains the fastest song in the franchise, with Big Rock Finish C having a BPM of 290.
