Two-Player Menu: Difference between revisions

The {{Nihongo|'''two-player menu'''|２人プレイコーナー|2-Ri Purei Kōnā}}, also known as the '''Dual Play Menu''' in [[Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise|''Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise'']], is a feature included in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', which contains variants of [[Rhythm Games]] modified to support a second player.

[[File:Screenshot 12.jpg|thumb]]The players are rated like in the 1 Player games, as the average of their respective results. The results comments and epilogues appear as normal. The [[Perfect Campaign]] works like in the 1 Player version, where it is simply an alternate [[Superb]] rating. After clearing a Stage, they go on to record their flow scores if they're high enough, like in the 1 Player version. The two players also get a compatibility rating, which uses a heart shaped machine fueled by the bee from [[Remix 3 (GBA)|Remix 3]]. It uses the same jingles as the [[Rhythm-kan Check]] results, but can also go above 100, in which case an excerpt of [[Staff Credits]] plays.

The '''Two Player''' menu is unlocked after clearing [[Fork Lifter]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', with each [[Rhythm Game]] afterward requiring the players to have cleared the One Player version beforehand, as well as the Two Player games before it.

The games themselves have slight visual differences compared to the originals. Most notably is the addition of a second controllable character, with Player 1's character on the left colored blue and Player 2's character on the right colored orange (with the exception of [[Karate Man Combos!#Two-Player|Karate Man]], where they are purple instead). Games like [[Fork Lifter#Two-Player|Fork Lifter]] and [[Tambourine#Two-Player|Tambourine]] also manipulate where elements are placed so each player has a fair playing area, while games like [[Micro-Row 2#Two-Player|Micro-Row]] and [[Flipper-Flop 2#Two-Player|Flipper-Flop]] add more characters around the players. In some games, there are sections where only one of the two players is required to play. Both players take turns doing the [[Practice]] alone before playing the real game.

At the end, the result given is based on the average of the two players' scores (from 10 to 100), plus bonus points for player compatibility. Unlike the One Player versions, there are no result comments or epilogues and the game simply gives the players their [[Rank]].

Getting a [[Superb]] awards a [[Duo Medal]], which can unlock [[Endless Games#Two-Player Endless Games|Two-Player Endless Games]]. [[Perfect Campaign|Perfect Campaigns]] do not appear in this mode.

Although there aren't any Two-Player Games in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' in the conventional sense, there is the [[Challenge Train]], which can be played with up to 4 players. One player acts as the captain of the group, and selects which course will be played. All four players play their own version of the [[Rhythm Game]], with each player's Mii shown around the screen. Other players can also play without owning ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' via Download Play. Score Goals multiply the required score by the amount of players, and they must accumulate enough points collectively. In Life and Monster Goals, at least one of the players must survive.

*None of the 2 Player Stages consist of a full 1 Player Stage, meaning it would be impossible to have a 2 Player version of the existing [[Remix|Remixes]], and there are no Two-Player-exclusive ones. As the [[Challenge Train]] courses achieve multiplayer through multiple Nintendo 3DS systems, copies of the game and/or Download Play, this is the only way to play remixes with more than one player.

**A version of [[See-Saw]] where Player 2 controls [[See and Saw|the inspector on the left]] went unused. Notably, the camera doesn't follow [[See and Saw]] as they make high jumps<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrf8ZzsxwmQ Video of See-Saw with the Two-Player mode enabled]</ref>.
