The {{Nihongo|'''Introduction'''|手ほどき|Tehodoki}} is where the player is introduced to the concept of rhythm in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' and can be replayed through the [[Café]]. | |||

When the player first starts | When the player first starts ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', they are greeted by [[Samurai Drummer]]. He then takes them to the {{Nihongo|Rhythm-kan Sokutei|リズム感測定|Rhythm Measurment}} machine which has a button on top. There are three tests: | ||
*Press A to the beat | |||
*Press A after a countdown from 7 | |||
*Press A to the beat again, but with a rhythm. | |||
The machine will print a piece paper showing how well the player did on keeping the beat. After measuring their rhythm, the player receives a score from 0 to 100, [[Samurai Drummer]] assures the player that it doesn't matter how well they did as long as they have fun in the game, and takes the player to the main menu. | |||
Unlike future games, it can be played again by selecting the "リズム感測定" option below the [[Rhythm Games]] option in the menu instead of going to the [[Café]]. | |||
In ''Rhythm Tengoku Trial Version'', a trimmed down version of Rhythm-kan Sokutei (only the first test is taken) is selectable from the Game Select. This time the player can pause and quit if they so choose. | |||

Rather than testing the player's rhythm, ''Rhythm Heaven'' has the player {{Nihongo|'''Practice Flicking'''|はじく練習をする|Hajiku Renshū o Suru}}. | |||
When the game starts, the player is greeted by the [[Bandleader]]. The frog will explain to the player about how to flick, then presents them with a target: a large [[Frogettes|Frogette]] figure. The player is required to flick a coin at the frog to hit it (tapping does nothing, and light flicking barely slides the coin). Hitting the frog enough times depletes a heart bar, reading "I give!" when fully depleted. | |||
The next test is to hit a moving target: a car. Cars of varying speed move past the coin, and the player needs to flick at the right time to hit the car. Once a car bar is depleted, the frog gives parting words and ends the practice session. | |||
After clearing it, the Game Select screen is opened up, with [[Built to Scale (DS)|Built to Scale]] as the only option. | |||

When the game starts, the player meets [[Cam]], [[Marshal]], and [[Miss Ribbon]] standing in front of a curtain. The characters will explain what the game is about, then present the first rhythm test. The first test requires pressing the "A" button to a steady beat the game provides on a screen. | |||

After a while of pressing, the game will provide a visual representation of the player's accuracy with blocks falling. If a block lands above or below the line, the tapping was too early or late, respectively. Blocks on the line mean the rhythm was spot on. | ||
After the first chart is done, the next test begins. A countdown from seven will pop up on a screen, going at a steady beat. The player needs to press "A" just as the countdown reaches zero, with Cam's eyes flashing if correctly done. When the chart appears, the game will pull two tricks on the player; at some points, the screen will stop beating, requiring the player to count of their own, and halfway through the test, the characters will block the chart with signs, preventing the player from using the screen to help. | After the first chart is done, the next test begins.

==''Rhythm Heaven Megamix'': Introduction== | |||
[[File:Rhythm Test Final.png|thumb|right]] | |||
The {{Nihongo|'''Introduction''' or '''Intro'''|手ほどき|Tehodoki}} is played at the start of the game. Clearing it unlocks Honeybee Land, though only the first rhythm game, [[Karate Man]], will be available. | |||
In the begining the player is greeted by a narrator, (most likely the [[Barista]]), who explains all about flow and sends the player to the introduction. | |||
Here, the player, represented by a Mii, can try drumming. After hitting the drum a few times, two more drummers come into view and the player must drum along with them. After that, the same thing is repeated but with music to make it easier. The intro ends by explaining the [[Skill Star]]s, and allows the player to try getting one. Regardless if they get it, the game continues. | |||
It can be replayed at the [[Café]] by selecting {{Nihongo|'''Play Intro'''|手ほどきで | |||
あそぶ|Tehodoki de Asobu}}. | |||
The Introduction makes another appearence near the end of [[Final Remix]]. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
*An unused test-like game can be accessed through the debug menu of ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', where it is known as {{Nihongo|'''Metronome'''|メトロノーム|Metoronōmu}}<ref>[https://youtu.be/u0JxoSeliqI?t=160 Video of Metronome in action]</ref>. Here, the player must press the A button as the needle passes over the bird on the top, playing basically the same as the first test in Rhythm-kan Sokutei. It was reworked into [[Mr. Upbeat]] in the final game. | |||
*There is unused text suggesting [[Endless Remix#Chameleon|Chameleon]] was intended as an "A+B Test" of sorts for ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''<ref>"ⒶとⒷの使い方を練習しよう。" (Practice how to use Ⓐ and Ⓑ.) ~ Unused text, ''Rhythm Heaven Fever''</ref><ref>"飛んできたハエを、Ⓐでつかまえてみて。" (Try using Ⓐ to catch the flies.) ~ Unused text, ''Rhythm Heaven Fever''</ref><ref>"tutorial" ~ directory filename for [[Endless Remix#Chameleon|Chameleon]]'s textures</ref>, similar to "Practice Flicking". The final instead has a modified version of Rhythm-kan Sokutei (with the third test dummied out) while the Chameleon game was made part of [[Endless Remix]]. | |||
*Introduction in ''Rhythm Heaven Megamix'' teaches the player the benefits of playing the game to music instead of it being done in the first [[Rhythm Game]] in previous games. | |||
