Endless Games (エンドレスゲームズ^?, Endoresu Gēmuzu), also known as Game (ゲーム^?, Gēmu) in Rhythm Tengoku, is a place in the Medal Corner which contains of games that are played for an indefinite amount of time, until the player makes a certain amount of mistakes. Unlike Rhythm Games, these are played to earn a high score, which increases to show how far the player has gotten. These games are unlocked by earning Medals.

Rhythm Tengoku

The games have a pre-set High Score for the player to beat. They are all half the amount of points the player needs to reach before the game runs out of unique content.

Rhythm Heaven Fever

The games don't have pre-set High Scores, instead the game tallies the "Personal Record" (of the current save file) and the "All-Time Record" (across all save files), as well as separate personal records for both players in the Two-Player Endless Games. The personal best record shows an icon or Mii, which for One Player is taken automatically from the save file. In Two Player, both players must input the icon or Mii when setting a new record, but they are not required to be different.

Rhythm Heaven Megamix

In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, there is no actual Endless Games menu. Instead, the Gatekeeper Trio halts the player's progression at certain points, and will only let them pass the Gate by clearing one their Trials, each of varying difficulty, and challenge charge:

• Saffron Trial: Easy
• Saltwater Trial: Normal
• Paprika Trial: Hard

After clearing a trial, the player will be allowed to continue past the gate, but they can still go back and try the other Trials. The player can replay cleared Trials for free. Clearing all three Trials will unlock the game as an Endless Game in the Museum. If the player spends 30 Coins without clearing any of the trials, the Gatekeeper Trio allow them to continue anyway.

As the Endless Games don't have any Epilogues, a second Rhythm Item can be obtained to fill its space in the Museum by achieving a certain score, although the game doesn't specify how much is required and instead only displays the current save file's personal best. It also doesn't acknowledge High Scores at all.

Trivia

• In Rhythm Tengoku, Mr. Upbeat is the only Endless Game to play a different sequence for High Scores, as Mr. Upbeat pumps his fists into the air in celebration as opposed to falling over disappointed. All other Endless Games do the same thing regardless if the player achieved a High Score or not.
• In Rhythm Heaven, Coin Toss is the only game to not play the Game Over sequence, instead it merely resets the player's score. Graphics for the words "Game Over" can be found in the game's data, however, and the Game Over sequence plays like normal in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
• Sick Beats is the only game whose Trial clear condition is to reach the end rather than a certain score. It lasts two loops of the music, just as long as the non-Endless version did in Rhythm Tengoku, although none of the Trials match the gameplay of the original.
• In the first three games, at least one Endless Game is a version of a Rhythm Game, namely Sick Beats, Quiz Show, Shoot-'Em-Up and Bossa Nova. In Rhythm Heaven Fever, there is no such game for the One Player Endless Games, but there is an unused prologue file and menu text for Manzai, suggesting it was originally meant to be a Rhythm Game with an Endless version.
• Meanwhile, it getting replaced with Mr. Upbeat in the internation versions effectively moved around the Medal requirements for all of the other Endless Games, and marks the first time an Endless Game was remade in a later installment. It is also possible this is the reason a "New Record" jingle was created, to preserve the same amount of song slots in the Music List, as Mr. Upbeat reuses "Practice Theme" as it's music.
• The number of Endless Games in Rhythm Heaven is one less than the number of Rhythm Toys. However, there are remnants of one more Endless Game (the sprite meant to be seen on the menu, internally named "demo_game_passboys". The sprite itself is blank).
  • There is an unused and unfinished Endless Game in Minna no Rhythm Tengoku's Debug Menu named Seika Relay.
