The game field of Polyrhythm showcases two paths which are operated independently. The rhythm shown here is the first one in the game.
This game is structured on a grid with two pathways. Before the player starts, a rhythm is tapped out, using a bass drum to represent the lower path and a snare drum to represent the upper path. After this finishes, a rod will roll out , requiring the player to repeat the given pattern using the D-Pad for the top row and A button for the lower row. After the pattern is repeated, a new one is tapped out. The patterns sometimes vary between paths.
