Gameplay
The player controls the Girl, who dances simultaneously with the two Monkeys and must follow their signals. If the monkeys let out a small cry, it signals to tap once right afterwards. If they make two noises, then it signals to tap twice quickly afterwards. If the monkey yells as all the characters raise their arms, it signals to tap three times quickly afterwards. If the monkey yelps, it signals to tap the moment the girl and monkeys have landed a jump.

Your basics were a little sloppy. Let's practice your double taps. There were issues with your triple taps. You kinda crashed on the landing... |
 |
Eh. Passable. |

You showed real rhythm potential! Your double taps were cool! Fantastic triple taps! What a happy landing! |

I have heard that there is a shade of red tap shoes that will allow the wearer access to the secret tap- dance parties of the animal kingdom! Are these shoes that magical color? The only way to know is put them on! |

Trivia
- This game has the most versions out of all the games in the Rhythm Heaven Series, having five different versions in its first appearance alone, and two more introduced in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, which brings the total of variations to 7.
- At the very end of the game in Rhythm Tengoku, the girl and the monkeys do a jump tap, followed by a head-bob which resets their animation. They stay in the post-jump pose in Rhythm Heaven Fever and Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
- The monkeys appear larger in Rhythm Tengoku, likely to avoid cutting down on details. In Rhythm Heaven Fever they are resized to better fit the monkeys of those games. In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, they are slightly larger.
- When playing this game in Rhythm Heaven Fever with the Widescreen Settings set to Standard (4:3), the Giraffe is moved inward so it would still be visible.
- This game appears in the "Wario...Where?" Challenge Train course, where the girl is replaced by Ashley and her apprentice Red can be seen riding the Giraffe.
- Ashley makes the generic miss sound when failing on a jump, unlike the Girl who has unique voice clips.
