Navigation
This game includes 70 minigames from the previous three Rhythm Tengoku 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 Tibby get back to Heaven World 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 Boondog and Dieter, who guide him through their various lands; as well as the Gatekeeper Trio, which consists of Saffron, Saltwater, and Paprika.
Challenge Land
Challenge Land is a new feature in Megamix. 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 Lush 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 (prequel), this means that this is a variant of the original minigame, with a new song and considerably easier challenge. Games that are titled with "2 or returns" 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 called Rhythmware, 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 currently holds the record for the most Rhythm games in it, with Rhythm games from every game in the series.
- During the real credits the following things and characters from various games can be seen.
- Ashley makes a cameo in the cafe as a doll.
- The minigames at gates and towers are lined up by their game from oldest to newest (for example in Forest Tower: First is Spaceball from Rhythm Tengoku, then Dog Ninja from Rhythm Heaven, then Hole in One from Rhythm Heaven Fever and finally the new one - Sumo Brothers).
- While using simple tap, it shows the character when tapping. This is a reference to Rhythm Heaven.
- It is notable that the title cards in the English version of the game all use the same font styles and are rather simplistic compared to the more artistic and unique title cards in the Japanese version.
