Splashdown (シンクロ?, Synchro) is the 1st Rhythm Game of the fifth stage (21st overall) in Rhythm Heaven.
The arrange version, Splashdown 2, appears in the tenth stage of Rhythm Heaven.
Gameplay
In this game, the player controls one of The Three Synchrettes, who are performing synchronized swimming to the beat. The player must follow the sequence in rhythm, diving underwater and surfacing again after the first two. At certain points, they jump out of the water while riding dolphins. These jumps occur either in sequence or together after an "Ooooh" cue. Near the end, two jumps have the three girls throw three other girls into the air instead, revealing there are actually six synchrettes in all.
Controls
- Tap (Hold): Dive underwater
- Tap (Release): Surface
- Flick: Jump out of the water
Timing Display
- Perfect!/Ace!?: The player successfully dives underwater and successfully resurfaces matching the others' poses, prompting the crowd to cheer. When jumping out of the water, the synchrette and her dolphin perform a flip. The tossed synchrettes exclaim "Ally-oop!"
- Early!/Late!?: The player mistimes diving, resurfacing or jumping, with a "doink" sound being heard. When resurfacing off the beat, the player flails out of the water in panic. When jumping out of the water at the wrong time, the synchrette pops out hanging onto the dolphin's tail, both having worried looks on their faces. The tossed synchrette flails around in the air helplessly.
- Miss...?: The player does nothing, staying above or below the water at the wrong time. When resurfacing when the player is not supposed to, the synchrette flails out of the water in panic. When jumping out of the water when they're not supposed to, the synchrette pops out hanging onto the dolphin's tail, both having worried looks on their faces. The tossed synchrette flails around in the air helplessly.

Trivia
- The player is able to tap to "dive" while the syncherette is in the air after a jump, and so is able to resurface and jump out of the water while the syncherette is visibly out of the water.
