Rhythm Heaven Silver

Your fishtank contains... something unbelievable!

The subject of this page is known to be non-canon to the Rhythm Heaven Series.

This page is about the unofficial English translation of Rhythm Tengoku. "I suppose" you may be looking for the original version of the game?

Rhythm Heaven Silver is an unofficial English translation of Rhythm Tengoku. The project was started in 2012 and was restarted in 2019. It can be downloaded as a patch from the GBAtemp thread or on GitHub.

After the release of Beta 10a, a user named "WindowsTiger" also began a Korean translation^[1].

Translated Names

In early versions of Rhythm Heaven Silver, some Rhythm Games were given new names rather than being directly translated. As the translation project started prior to the release of Rhythm Heaven Megamix, most of the names differed. Newer versions of Rhythm Heaven Silver have since adopted the official names. This list is only of the names that differ from the official localizations, including those from before Rhythm Heaven Megamix was released.

Games in italics had their names corrected following Rhythm Heaven Megamix's release.

Games with a * only had their names changed in the Game Select.

Trivia

The translation's title is an inverse of Rhythm Heaven's Japanese title, Rhythm Tengoku Gold.
In the original game, all the Remixes used the same description. Toss Boys and Toss Boys 2 used the same between them as well. Rhythm Heaven Silver keeps the original descriptions for Remix 1 and Toss Boys, and gives new ones for the rest. The descriptions also have "(No practice)" or "(NP)" for games that lack a Practice, which weren't marked in the original.
- Notably, the Remixes and Toss Boys 2 were given new descriptions in the arcade version (and various others were modified), however Rhythm Heaven Silver does not take any material from that version.
Some of the translated text includes new details not found in the original, such as エアーバッター速報 (Air Batter Report), renamed to "Inside Spaceball" here, being an interview conducted by "Ryan Williams, Radio Heaven News, Deep Space", rather than being left ambiguous.
- Some translations seem to be incorrect due to incomplete context, such as Bon Dance's description implying it's another Bon festival where everyone is in high spirits, rather than it being the Donpans going on the big stage and clapping along to a groovy, modern day version of the song^[14], renaming The Snappy Trio to "Trio on Tour", or the fact that Karateka's description (renamed to "Karate Man" here) is based on the one for Karate Man Combos! instead of the original^[15].
The former lead translator, W hat, dislikes almost all of the official names, with the exception of Sick Beats^[16].
