　Rhythm Heaven Megamix

Power Calligraphy (リズムお習字しゅうじ^?, Rhythm o Shūji) is the 3rd Rhythm Game of Stage 4 (21st overall) in Rhythm Tengoku, the 3rd Extra Game unlocked with 41 Medals in Rhythm Heaven Fever and the 1st of Songbird Land (23rd overall) in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.

Gameplay

The player controls a giant hand writing calligraphy with a surprising amount of strength. The giant hand writes automatically, while the player presses Ⓐ or taps to finish the characters with a powerful stroke when the hand reaches enough power. There are six different symbols and one cluster of symbols to write:

レ (katakana re^?)
、 (a Japanese comma^?)
力 (chikara^?, power)
己 (onore^?, oneself)
寸 (sun^?, a Japanese unit of measurement)
心 (kokoro^?, heart)
the characters つるニハ◯◯ムし (tsurunihamarumarumushi^?) arranged to form a face, a variant of henohenomoheji.

Near the end, the game goes faster and people come out dancing.

Controls

Ⓐ/Tap: Write (with power)

Timing Display

Perfect!/Ace!^?: The symbol is successfully written.
Early!/Late!^?: If early, the line turns out squiggled. If late, a messy spot of ink is made. Either way, a sigh is let out. The Mini Chōnin stumble over. In Rhythm Tengoku, a "doink" sound is heard when this happens, but not in Rhythm Heaven Fever or Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
Miss...^?: If missed completely, no marks are made, letting out a sigh. The Mini Chōnin stumble over.

Rhythm Item

Calligraphy Set	A New Approach
	I got these calligraphy tools as a hand-me-down from my sister, but they were so heavy and hard to set up, I just couldn't get into it. But then I started doing it to music, and now I never stop!

Skill Star

The Skill Star appears on the first sun symbol (寸) in the game.

(Translation)

Rhythm o Shūji 2P (リズムお習字 2P^?, Rhythm o Shūji 2P) is the 2nd Rhythm Game of Stage 3 (10th overall) in the 2P mode of Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade).

It plays the same as the 1P version, except it has a split screen display to accommodate the second player. As a consequence of this design, there is only one column of dancers per screen, and they walk over the paper.
