Gameplay

The player takes control of The Wandering Samurai. He must defeat red-eyed monsters spawning from a dark portal, using Samurai Technique I: The Slice. Occasionally, a group of green-eyed monsters appear all at once, which the samurai must dispatch with Samurai Technique II: Lots of Slicing, also known as a whirlwind slice. The red-eyed monsters vary in size, however this does not affect gameplay itself.

During practice, The Wandering Samurai can be found in what appears to be a bamboo forest, slicing monsters popping out of a burning straw house. After this, a single monster carrying a pinwheel appears, prompting the samurai to give chase. In the real game, the samurai moves into position, as the words "A Hero's Tale" (or "Samurai Slice" in Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise) set the scene.

During the first wave of monsters, snow starts falling, followed by sakura leaves. The game then covers the screen to show the story so far, showing the Pinwheel Girl and her friend playing with a pinwheel, which a monster swoops in and steals. The samurai appears before them, and proceeds to chase the monsters to see justice done. After this, a storm appears as the game nears the end. The very last monster is the one carrying the pinwheel. After it, the text "To be continued..." appears on screen, which the samurai can slice if he so chooses.

Trivia

• In the English version of Rhythm Heaven Fever, the child in blue clothing is referred to as Pinwheel Boy. All other versions either refer to them as a girl or simply a child.
• File:Samuraislicekorean.png
  In Rhythm Sesang Wii, the characters featured in this game have their traditional Japanese clothing altered to resemble Korean traditional clothing, called "Hanbok". Interestingly, The Wandering Samurai's appearance is different from that of the Samurai Slice in Rhythm Sesang.
  • Additionally, in the Superb epilogue, the colors of the background were changed from red and yellow to blue and cyan.

, ,

• In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, the fog that appears along the bottom of the screen is oddly missing.
• Although Samurai Slice 2 is not featured in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, the "To be continued..." line at the end is kept, implying the story actually continues in Super Samurai Slice.
