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:
*{{Nihongo|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.

*{{Nihongo|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]]''.

Interestingly, the internal filenames of the graphics for the [[Endless Games]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' label them as Long versions.
*{{Nihongo|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.
