Story
Rhythm Tengoku
After perfecting Night Walk 2 in Rhythm Tengoku, you unlock an email called "Night Walk Riddle." The email tells the player that "the little guy in Night Walk" loves music, and has appeared in several other music related games. The writer of the email actually met Play-Yan on the street and tried to talk to him. Play-Yan responded only with, "I love music!" before walking away up some stairs.
The email writer gives the player a riddle. You have to piece together the numbers to find out what his name is. The riddle goes as follows:
The music loving fellow is named... (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7)
You know how the (1)layer in Quiz has to push the button the right number of times to wi(7)? Wel(2), instead of stopping on the right answer tr(5) pushing the buttons as m(3)ny times (6)s possible for a cool surprise! Well, at least I think it's prett(4) cool.
Not only does piecing out the clues spell out "playyan" but it also tells the player about the easter egg in Quiz Show where pressing the buttons over 99 times breaks everything.
Rhythm Heaven Megamix
The only information Rhythm Heaven Megamix gives us on Play-Yan is that he has an impeccable sense of rhythm and magic flowers grow in the footsteps of his presence.
