This game includes 70 minigames from the previous three Rhythm Heaven games, 20 new minigames and 10 updated versions of older games.
Story Mode
In the single player Story mode of the game, the player helps a character named Tebiri get back to The Kingdom of Heaven 天の国 (Ten no Kuni, a pun on 天国 tengoku?) by completing various rhythm games. On his way, he meets various characters, such as Bunbun and Buruta, who guide him through their various lands; as well as the Gatekeeper Trio, which consists of Yemon, Bluke, and Redron.
Challenge Land
Challenge Land is a new feature in The Best +. Here, the player may board the Challenge Train, where the player must beat a series of minigames, usually with modified rules and tempo. Additionally, if the Perfect Campaign is up, it can be challenged here. Challenge Land becomes playable once the player clears the Forest Tower.
List of Rhythm Games
Majority of the games appear in Story Mode, where they are grouped into places of four: one Rhythm Tengoku game, one Rhythm Heaven game, one Rhythm Heaven Fever game, and one new game.
NOTE: If the game is marked with (Story), this means that this is a variant of the original minigame, with a new song and considerably easier challenge. Games that are titled with "Return of" are the original variants of the song. Is it marked like this to avoid confusion, as some minigames, like the entirety of Donut Land, are their original variants.

Trivia
- There is a challenge mode minigame where many of the minigames are replaced with Warioware characters. This is due to both series being created by the same developers.
- This is the first game to not include any of Tsunku's songs in the introduced Rhythm Games.
- This game in the series is known to have the most Rhythm games, with Rhythm games from every game in the series.
