During an interview with [https://www.1101.com/nintendo/rythm_heaven2/07.html Hobonichi], the developers shared ideas for [[Rhythm Games]] that were not implemented in the final version of ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]''. It is mentioned that there are over 20 games cut from the game, which are listed below. Some games have remnants in the final game, while others were removed completely. | During an interview with [https://www.1101.com/nintendo/rythm_heaven2/07.html Hobonichi], the developers shared ideas for [[Rhythm Games]] that were not implemented in the final version of ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]''.

*{{Nihongo|'''Shibaku'''|『しばく』|Strike [with a stick]}} was a [[Rhythm Game]] where the player would press a button to swing a stick (presumably to strike something), then release it to return the stick back. However, the act of releasing the button to the rhythm was found to be unexpectedly difficult to understand, leading to the game being cut. [[Ninja Bodyguard]] in [[Remix 5 (GBA)|Remix 5]] and [[Ninja no Shison]] show [[Tanaka|a character]] that slices rocks with a stick, which may have been inspired by this idea. | *{{Nihongo|'''Shibaku'''|『しばく』|Strike [with a stick]}} was a [[Rhythm Game]] where the player would press a button to swing a stick (presumably to strike something), then release it to return the stick back.

This game is mentioned in an unused gameplay history screen in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', accessable only through the debug menu, which lists all the games and things in the [[Medal Corner|Omaku Corner]], the average score the player currently has (using a numbering system from 0 to 1000 which is hidden from the player in normal gameplay), and the amount of plays.

*The three games seen exclusively in [[Endless Remix]] ({{Nihongo|'''Basket'''|バスケット|Basuketto}}, {{Nihongo|'''Kaeru Tobi'''|カエル跳び|Frog Jump}} and {{Nihongo|'''Chameleon'''|カメレオン|Kamereon}}) all have unused "standalone" versions in the debug menu. They use a standard drum beat as music (also heard in [[Seika Relay]]) and are also very simple, implying they were meant for testing. Notably, Basket has a feature where it zooms in on the basket, and then zooms out, which does not occur in [[Endless Remix]]. | *The three games seen exclusively in [[Endless Remix]] ({{Nihongo|'''Basket'''|バスケット|Basuketto}}, {{Nihongo|'''Kaeru Tobi'''|カエル跳び|Frog Jump}} and {{Nihongo|'''Chameleon'''|カメレオン|Kamereon}}) all have unused "standalone" versions in the debug menu.
