Practice: Difference between revisions

The {{Nihongo|'''Practice'''|れんしゅ|Renshū}} is a section that plays before starting a [[Rhythm Game]] or [[Endless Game]]. Typically, the practice will explain to the player all the actions they are going to do in the game itself. In every title in the [[Rhythm Heaven Series]], the practice is present for every game before the [[Staff Credits]], and is not available for [[Remix]]es or arrange games (with some exceptions).

In ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', each practice uses one of three variations of a single song (called "Tutorial Music 1", "Tutorial Music 2" and "Tutorial Music 3" on the ''[[Rhythm Tengoku Complete Music Collection]]'' soundtrack) as well as a few game-specific practice themes. The practice itself will present the player with each cue in the game, and the player only needs to do a set successfully in order to advance. It can be skipped by pressing the Select button. Games without a practice are not distinguished in the game's description.

In ''[[Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)]]'', every practice returns unaltered in the 1 Player mode. It can be skipped by pressing the Start button instead, which in turn can no longer pause the game. Every game from the first five Stages which originally did not have a practice (and some that did) now have an animated tutorial explaining the game, without allowing the player to try it out for themselves. In the [[Two-Player Menu|2 Player mode]], every game has the animated tutorial, including the arrangements. The games from the Extra Stage do not have practices in either mode, however.

In ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', each practice uses a new arrangement of the original practice theme (now called "Let's Practice!" in the game's "Listen to Music" section). The player needs to complete each set successfully 3 times. It can be skipped by touching the "Skip" button on the touch screen. Games without a practice are distinguished with the line "(And no practice for you!)" in the game's description.

In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', every game has it's own practice theme, mainly a chiptune version of the game's song (with exceptions). The player needs to complete a varying amount of sets to advance the practice, which are shown with a counter. The games also include a {{Nihongo|'''Demonstration'''|ぉ手本中・・・|~O tehon-chū...}} if the player spends too long on a set, in which case they can press the ① button to have the game automatically play the section to demonstrate the timing. The Demonstration is not available for the [[Extra Games]], which also return to requiring only one successful set without a counter, and they also use a new arrangement of the old music (called "Practice Theme" in the game's "Listen to Music" option). It can be skipped by pressing the ⊝ button. Games without a practice are distinguished with the line "(No Practice.)" (or "(And no practice for you)" in ''Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise'') in the game's description. In the [[Two-Player Menu|Two Player]] games, the practice is played the same as with the One Player version, with one practice for both players.

In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', every single game, regardless of origin, uses a chiptune version of their song during their practice and also need a few completed sets with a counter to advance, much like in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''. The original practice theme is nowhere to be found in this game. Similar to the Demonstrations, this game will show a {{Nihongo|'''Rhythm Help Display'''|お助けリズム表示|O Tasuke Rhythm Hyōji}} of the current set if the player spends too long during the practice, showing exactly how the player is supposed to play it. It can be skipped by pausing the game and choosing "Skip". Games without a practice are distinguished with [[File:NoPractice3DS.png]] in their description.
