Showtime/Development

Let's table this for now...

The following content comes from pre-release material, was changed in other regions, or is unused in the game.

There's nothing wrong with a bit of images!

It has been requested that images should be added to this page or section.
Please remove this template when images have been added.

I guess we could try to eat the plate...

Rhythm Tengoku

Showtime consists of the following versions in Rhythm Tengoku:

No.	Image	Used in
00		Showtime Remix 6 Remix 7 Remix 8
01		Remix 3

Early Builds

Showtime was originally named Esa (えさ^?, Bait) in development as the penguins holding the ball in their mouths looked as though they were being fed, but this name was too different from the intended image of the game itself^[1].

Unused Content

There are two variants of the white penguins which go unused. One is a faster pattern in a straight rhythm, while the other is a swing version of that pattern. The final one has a swingy rhythm, but has the same timing as the gray penguins^[2].
