race/ver2		Remix 3

Unused Content

Midway through the game, a man walks on screen to block the player's view. Later on, the same man walks in the opposite direction alongside T.J. Snapper's girlfriend. There is an unused second design for this man with blonde hair, blue clothing and no sunglasses. This unused walker would later be used in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, replacing the second instance. Additionally, the girlfriend has an animation for walking to the right, while she only ever walks to the left.

Regional Differences

In Rhythm Tengoku Gold, Rhythm Heaven, the English version of Rhythm Paradise and Rhythm World, the prologue features an animation of the logo coming in from the right. In the French, German, Italian and Spanish versions of Rhythm Paradise, it remains in the middle of the screen throughout the whole animation.

In Rhythm Paradise, the symbols used to represent how well the player performed are replaced with color-coded hand gestures. The animation is also slightly different: In the English version, the hand gestures blink once when they appear, just as the symbols do in the other regions. In the French, German, Italian and Spanish versions, they grow and shrink as they appear instead.

Freeze Frame consists of the following versions in Rhythm Heaven Megamix:

Internal Name	Image	Used in
ver_long ver_long_JPKR		Freeze Frame Left-Hand Remix
ver_wario ver_wario_JPKR		Freeze Frame (Wario...Where? 2: The Sequel)

Unused Content

Midway through the game, a man walks on screen to block the player's view. Later on, another man walks in the opposite direction alongside T.J. Snapper's girlfriend. These three walkers each have unused animations for walking in the opposite direction. The second man originally went unused entirely in Rhythm Heaven.

Regional Differences

The gestures from Rhythm Paradise return in the US and European verisons of Rhythm Heaven Megamix, with the hand moved to the left of the screen so as to not cover up the photos. The animation is also slightly different, in that the symbols do not animate at all while the hand gestures blink once as they appear.
