{{Spoiler}}During the story of the game, the player helps a character named [[Tibby]] get back to [[Heaven World]] by completing various [[Rhythm Games]] and restoring the flow. On their way, they meet various characters who guide them through their various lands; as well as the [[Gatekeeper Trio]] who block their path. Throughout the game, [[Rupert]] pops in and out to inform the player of any events, such as something new being unlocked, or when a [[Perfect Campaign]] is going on.

After clearing all of the lands along the way, the duo finally reach [[Mamarin Palace]], which is also [[Tibby's Mom]]. Here they meet [[Colin]], who has been looking for [[Tibby]] to inform him that [[Tibby's Mom]] is in trouble. He asks the duo to climb up to the top of the palace to ask her face-to-face what's happened. To open the door however, they need to climb up the two towers next to the palace, clearing the [[Rhythm Games]] in them to restore the flow, and thus unlock the door to the palace proper.

The [[Rhythm Games]] in this section are the arrange versions. In some cases, these end up being the *third* version of some games, having a completely new name and description. Notably, [[Karate Man Senior]] is not an arrangement of any existing game, but is present here nonetheless.

After clearing the [[Rhythm Games]] within [[Tibby's Mom]] and climbing to the top, [[Tibby]] tries talking to her. Although she doesn't respond, [[Tibby]] explains to her how much has happened along his way back, meeting a lot of people, and learning that everyone else has troubles like him. He says he has decided to live as one who helps others, but still gets no response from his mother. She then exhales, revealing she was actually holding her breath to cure her hiccups the whole time, which is what caused the spooky voice and gloomy skies in [[Heaven World]].

==Challenge Land==
==Challenge Land==
[[Challenge Land]] is a new feature in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' which allows up to 4 players to ride the [[Challenge Train]] though various courses consisting of [[Rhythm Games]] with altered rules. The [[Perfect Campaign]] returns, appearing in this section. If the player misses during an attempt, the game ends with the message "You Missed..." rather than continuing like a normal game. After a [[Perfect]] is obtained, the player does not receive a [[Gift]]. Instead, each campaign awards one [[Flow Ball]], which can used to purchase [[Rhythm Games]] at the [[Shop]].

While most [[Rhythm Games|games]] returned in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', 24 didn't make the cut. The following are the games from past installments of ''[[Rhythm Heaven (series)|Rhythm Heaven]]'' that did not return for ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''. (Arrange versions whose long version is in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' are highlighted in {{Nihongo|this font}}. [[Remix]]es, [[Endless Games]], [[File:TempoUpExtra1.png|72px]] Games, and [[Two-Player Menu|Two-Player Games]] aren't listed.) Many of the Arrange versions have new patterns or new cues, which also exist in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', but are never used. It is debatable how many of these were actually intended to appear in the game or were simply leftover data from the porting process.
