As the game starts, a voice will count off a rhythm for eight beats. After this, a pendulum will begin to swing at the player. To dodge the pendulum, the player need to make Mr. Upbeat "step" as the pendulum nears his feet. To assist the player, the light on Mr. Upbeat's head will flash on each correct beat.

Every 16 successful steps, the pendulum will temporarily stop. During this time, the player will receive one point, and a new tempo will be counted.

The most notable change is in the scoring: the player receives one point for every step rather than every set. In addition, the beat will restart every 32 steps, not every 16.

==Trivia==
* Mr. Upbeat appears in the American / European versions of ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', but it does not appear in the Japanese version. It was added in by the localization team as a substitute for [[Manzai Birds]], which was deemed too difficult to localize a game based mostly on Japanese culture.

*In ''Rhythm Heaven Fever'', once the player reaches 130 points (and every so often after that), Mr. Upbeat's light will grow over the next few steps, display a series of letters, and then go back to normal. The letters that pop up spell MATCH, which can be inserted into the [[Police Call]] [[Rhythm Toys|Rhythm Toy]].
