Gameplay

The gameplay of this game is exact the same as its prequel, but the tempo is slower and complex, which may make it harder to step in place. One of the flip sides has a swing rhythm, which is faster than the normal beat.

Trivia

• The colors of the Stepswitchers's half bodies in this game, like in Lockstep, were changed from the Japanese version for unknown reasons.

• When going for a perfect in Rhythm Heaven, the game doesn't care about whether or not you got a barely, considering this game is very hard. This also applies to Shoot-'Em-Up, Shoot-'Em-Up 2, Frog Hop, Frog Hop 2 and Lockstep.
  • In Rhythm Heaven, the last few seconds when going for a perfect are completely disregarded, noted by how the "P" does not flash when stepping in time and the fact that the player can miss during this time frame without breaking it.
• The Afros that Johann Sebastian Bach wears resemble the ones that The Clappy Trio wear.
• The song uses a swing beat to differentiate itself from Lockstep. Despite this, the rating notes still refer to it as the "offbeat".
• This is one of the few games in the franchise to require player input after the music finishes. Other games like this are Remix 4 (GBA), Remix 5 (GBA), Air Batter 2, Lockstep, Fan Club 2, Monkey Watch, Air Rally 2, and Flock Step. As mentioned above, both this game and Lockstep 2 don't count this in Perfect runs in the DS game.
• The song used sounds familiar to The Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani.
• This is one of the only times where the second version of a game has a slower tempo than the original.
