Rhythm Heaven

Rhythm Heaven Silver is an unofficial English translation of Rhythm Tengoku. The project was started in 2012 and was restarted in 2019. It can be downloaded as a patch from the GBAtemp thread or on GitHub.

After the release of Beta 10a, a user named "WindowsTiger" also began a Korean translation[1].

In 2022, the project's maintainer, ShaffySwitcher, discontinued the project and helped work on the alternate localization titled Rhythm Heaven Advance, which can be obtained here.

Translated Names

In early versions of Rhythm Heaven Silver, some Rhythm Games were given new names rather than being directly translated. As the translation project started prior to the release of Rhythm Heaven Megamix, most of the names differed. Newer versions of Rhythm Heaven Silver have since adopted the official names. This list is only of the names that differ from the official localization, including those from before Rhythm Heaven Megamix was released.

Games in italics had their names adjusted following Rhythm Heaven Megamix's release.

Games with a * only had their names changed in the Game Select.

Trivia

  • The translation's title is an inverse of Rhythm Heaven's Japanese title, Rhythm Tengoku Gold.
  • In the original game, all the Remixes used the same description. Toss Boys and Toss Boys 2 used the same between them as well. Rhythm Heaven Silver keeps the original descriptions for Remix 1 and Toss Boys, and gives new ones for the rest. The descriptions also have "(No practice)" or "(NP)" for games that lack a Practice, which weren't marked in the original.
  • Some of the translated text includes new details not found in the original, such as エアーバッター速報 (Air Batter Report), renamed to "Inside Spaceball" here, being an interview conducted by "Ryan Williams, Radio Heaven News, Deep Space", rather than being left ambiguous.
    • Many Rhythm Game names also take more creative liberties than a direct translation. For instance, The Snappy Trio was titled "Trio on Tour".
    • Text may also be sourced from other places than the original script. For example, Karateka's description is based on the one for Karate Man Combos! instead of the original[15].
  • The former lead translator, W hat, dislikes almost all of the official names, with the exception of Sick Beats[16].

  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 Renamed in Beta-13a to its official name as of Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
  3. ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 Despite being renamed in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, the latest version of Rhythm Heaven Silver still uses its own name.
  4. ↑ This name was only seen on the menu in older versions, as the prologue had always just shown "Spaceball". It, however can still be seen in the Studio.
  5. ↑ Although not technically an incorrect translation, internal filenames indicate that "Dr. Virus" is the intended translation.
  6. ↑ Also named "Tram & Poline" in the Studio
  7. ↑ 7.0 7.1 Renamed because Polyrhythm was a complicated term and there were already precedent for changing names.
  8. ↑ "Polyrhythm is a technical musical term that I thought most people wouldn't know. It felt out of place in a playful game like Rhythm Heaven. A lot of the translation could have been very literal. But I think the DS and Wii games are lively localizations. The Wii game translates the White Ghost name as "Sneaky Spirits". Clearly, there is precedent for changing the title of the games when translating to English." ~ GBATemp: Rhythm Tengoku Translation - Rhythm Heaven Silver
  9. ↑ Although named such on the Game Select and the Studio, the prologue still reads "Bon Dance".
  10. ↑ 10.0 10.1 10.2 Renamed in Beta-13a to match the official name of the base game as of Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
  11. ↑ The prologue also reads "Ninja Reincarnate", unlike the original where only "Ninja" is displayed.
  12. ↑ 12.0 12.1 12.2 Despite the base game being renamed in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, the latest version of Rhythm Heaven Silver still uses its own name.
  13. ↑ Named "Spaceball Game 2" in older versions, but the prologue had always just shown "Spaceball".
  14. ↑ Presumably renamed because the literal translation, "Mannequin Factory", wouldn't fit on screen.
  15. ↑ "とんでくるモノをAボタンでパンチ！よくあるゲーム？…かもね。" (Punch flying objects with the A button! A common game? ...Perhaps.) ~ Karateka description, Rhythm Tengoku
    "This is karate training at its most intense! (Or, at its most unorthodox...)" ~ Karate Man description, Rhythm Heaven Silver
    "This is karate training at its most intense! Punch the flying objects, and go crazy when a whole mess of them come at you!" ~ Karate Man description, Rhythm Heaven Fever
