00		Ura Otoko

Unused Content

An unused test-like game can be accessed through Sequence Test in Rhythm Tengoku, known as Metronome (メトロノーム^?, Metoronōmu). Here, the player must press Ⓐ as the needle passes over the bird on the top, playing basically the same as the first test in Rhythm-kan Check. It displays the following text:

	Translation
音にあわせて、Aボタンを押しましょう。	Press the A Button at the same time as the sound.
計測中	Measurement in progress
計測おわり! さて、結果は…	Measurement complete! Now, the results are...

During the measuring process, a counter appears on the top right, with "HI SCORE" written beneath it, having been repurposed later for Ura Otoko. Once it reaches 0, it gives the results, using the same screen as Rhythm-kan Check.

Metronome has its own unused sprites as well. The first appears to be a scale, with the left side saying おそ (slow^?) and the right saying 速 (fast^?). This was likely meant for an accuracy meter, with each bar lighting up to measure how on-beat the player's rhythm was. This concept is similar to the "Early"/"Late" measurement in the Rhythm Test in Rhythm Heaven Fever.

The other two are pictures of a person's face, with text written beside him (reading 速い (fast^?) and おそい (slow^?), respectively). Strangely, there also exists copies of the face, but flipped horizontally.

Ura Otoko uses the same graphics as Metronome, and as such contains all of its unused sprites. They are still considered separate games, regardless.

Rhythm Heaven Fever

Mr. Upbeat consists of the following versions in Rhythm Heaven Fever:

metroman/ver0		Mr. Upbeat Endless Remix

Unused Content

Mr. Upbeat has a couple of sprites of him standing in place, like those used in the preview on the Endless Games menu.

While there is plenty of dialogue in the game, there are more strings which go unused. While most languages appear to be translations of each other, the text in Rhythm World Wii instead marks it as unused.
