Jump with the music! The stars will gather and put a spring in your step. (No practice.) |
Template:Game-NavTemplate:Minigame infoboxNight Walk (ナイトウォーク?, naito woku) is the 20th game unlocked in Rhythm Tengoku and the credits for Rhythm Heaven Fever. The game features Play-Yan who is jumping along a path in the night sky. A sequel is unlocked later in Rhythm Tengoku called Night Walk 2. Getting a perfect will unlock a soundtrack of this game.
Gameplay
As Play-Yan lands on the path, boxes will be seen below them. This is a visual cue to jump. Successfully doing this will open the boxes and make them blossom into various things such as hearts, lollipops, and umbrellas. The player will fall off before reaching the goal if enough boxes are left unopened before then.
Controls
- A: Jump
Timing Notes
- Hit: Play-Yan jumps from the box, sending out a plant with either a heart, lollipop, or umbrella on it.
- Barely: Play-Yan will jump, but the heart and jump will be lower then a Hit and the text "NG", possibly standing for "Not Good" will appear. A Barely counts as a Miss.
- Miss: Play-Yan will walk by the box, sending out a music note.
In addition, a unique "instant-fail" possibility can happen. If the player does not jump from a box on the edge of a platform, the character will fall off the platform. If this happens, the game will immediately end, with the results displaying "You fell in a hole.", and giving you a "Try Again" rating. This can also happen if you don't open enough boxes before the goal, in which the goal will not open, and Play-Yan will walk past it to eventually fall off.

Night Walk was remade in Rhythm Heaven Fever as a game played during the credits. It was also made available to play after viewing the credits and cast. The character jumping is Marshal, along with Miss Ribbon and Cam as the player progresses farther. Instead of the character jumping to grab a bouquet of balloons at the end, the scenery changes to a daytime stroll and leads the characters to the Cafe.
Controls
- A: Jump
- Hold A + B: Roll
- Release A + B: Pop Up
Timing Notes
- Hit: Marshal will jump from the box, making it open and have a large heart fly out of it. For rolling spaces, Marshall will successfully hit both boxes and spring up from the second, as fireworks appear in the background.
- Barely: Marshal will jump from the box, but only a small heart pops out, with the word "MISS" appearing under it.
- Miss: Marshal will walk past the boxes, making them release a small music note. Jumping when there are no boxes results in Marshal only hopping slightly.
In addition to the above, the game has a unique "instant-fail" possibility. If the player fails to jump from on a box at the edge of the platform, Marshal will not jump to the platform, instead falling off the current platform after trying to hang on the edge, with Miss Ribbon and Cam looking down at where you fell. Should this happen, the game will immediately end, cutting to the cast roll. After that, the results screen will simply say "You fell down a pit", and give you a "Try Again" rank.

Trivia
- Play-Yan's design in this game appears to have influence on later characters. (i.e. Marshal, Miss Ribbon, Cam, Chorus Kids, etc.)
- The Rhythm Tengoku website calls the night walk character Play-Yan. play-yan was a game for the Gameboy Advance that allowed you to play music.
- Play-Yan from the original game appears in The Dazzles from Rhythm Heaven, hanging onto one of the stars that appear after certain correct poses. They also appear in Rhythm Heaven Fever, being in the books on one of the "OK, it's on!" cheers from the Cheer Readers sections of Remix 7.
- This is the first rhythm game in the series to be redone completely with different visuals, music, and controls.
- Both versions of the game stand out as one of the few games in the franchise to have the ability to fail instantly before judging your performance, with Quiz Show being the only other one.
- In the Rhythm Heaven Fever version of the game, the Huebirds of Happiness from Flock Step fly by in a large group later in the game. The Barista also makes an appearance near the end.
- On the remake, depending on what TV or emulator you have, Cam might be unseeable until the end of the game.
- Night Walk makes a cameo appearance in the Nintendo 3DS Sound software as a background picture. Play-Yan's climbing speed depends on how the speed of the song is adjusted
