==Description==
==Description==
After the player gets past the ''[[Introduction]]'', the first rhythm game is available to play. These games can be played with buttons (or sometimes tap controls) to the beat of the music, the timing depending on each game. Most games allow the player to [[Practice]] before diving into the real thing, which can be skipped after completing the stage. The player can pause the game and quit at any time. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', they also have the option to start over, instead of quitting and reopening the game all over again.

Some rhythm games have modified versions. While these are not given a catch-all name within the games, for the purposes of the {{SITENAME}}, these are dubbed "versions", derived from internal data in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', where the graphics files for these are stored in folders labeled "ver0", "ver1" and so on, or "ver_long", "ver_arrange" and such. The internal data for ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' is used to label the following versions as such:

The internal data for ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' is used to label the following versions as such:
*'''Short''': Shortened versions of rhythm games found in [[Honeybee Land]], [[Machine Land]], [[Citrus Land]] and [[Barbershop Land]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''. These feature completely new music and appearences for the games, and a lower difficulty.

*'''Long''': The most common type, which are found from the start of the game until the [[Staff Credits]] in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''. Some internal data may call these "Normal" versions, but most of the time they are left without a label. These games appear in [[Donut Land]], [[Songbird Land]], the Towers in [[Lush Woods]], the Lands in [[Heaven World]] and the [[Shop]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.

*'''Arrange''': These games appear after the [[Staff Credits]] in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', and in [[Mamarin Palace]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''. They have an arranged version of the original song, a new appearance, and often a higher difficulty. Most of them in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' and some in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' don't feature unique music or appearances, however.

Lore-wise, each version can be seen as a part of the general story to a rhythm game; for example, most Arrange versions are presented as a sequel to the story shown in the Long version. Meanwhile, the story seen in the Short versions is shown to lead in to that of the Long version, making it a prequel.
