Two-Player Menu: Difference between revisions

The {{Nihongo|'''two-player menu'''|２人プレイコーナー|2-Ri Purei Kōnā}}, also known as {{Nihongo}}the '''Dual Play Menu''' in [[Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise|''Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise'']], is a feature included in [[Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)|''Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)'']] and [[Rhythm Heaven Fever|''Rhythm Heaven Fever'']], which contains variants of [[Rhythm Games]] which are modified to support a second player.

In this game, the 2 Player games are all unlocked from the start. The players choose the amount of players from the opening menu, but they need to insert twice as many coins as the 1 Player games in order to play in this mode (unless the game is set to Freeplay).

[[File:Screenshot 12.jpg|thumb|220px]]The players are rated like in the 1 Player games, as the average of their respective results. The results comments and epilogues appear as normal. The [[Perfect]] Campaign works like in the 1 Player version, where it is simply an alternate [[Superb]] rating. After clearing a Stage, they go on to record their flow scores if they're high enough like in the 1 Player version. The two players also get a compatibility rating, which uses a heart shaped machine fueled by the bee from [[Remix 3 (GBA)|Remix 3]]. It uses the same jingles as the [[Rhythm-kan Sokutei]] results, but can also go above 100, in which case an excerpt of [[Staff Credits]] plays.

Instead of the games' respective practice sessions, there are new tutorial videos before each 2P game, including the arrange variants which usually don't have a tutorial/practice if there is nothing new to show.

The two-player menu is unlocked after clearing [[Fork Lifter]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', with each one afterward requiring the players to have cleared the One Player version and the Two Player games before it.

The games themselves have slight visual differences compared to the original game, in addition to adding a second player. In some games, there are sections where only one of the two players is actually playing. Both players take turns doing the practice before playing the real game.

Getting a [[Superb]] will award a Duo [[Medal]], which can be used to unlock [[Endless Games#Two-Player|Two-Player Endless Games]], but the [[Perfect]] Campaign does not appear in this mode.

Although there aren't any Two-Player Games in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' in the conventional sense, there is the [[Challenge Train]], which can be played with up to 4 players. Score Goals multiply the required score by the amount of players, and they must accumulate enough points collectively. In Life and Monster Goals, at least one player must survive.

*All of the normal variant games in the 2 Player section of [[Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)]] that have an arrange variant (and [[File:TempoUpExtra6.png|72px]] variants) in 1 Player have 2 Player versions of those as well, with the exception of [[The☆Bon Odori 2P]].

*The Two-Player games in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' work internally as three variants of the respective games (P1's practice, P2's practice and the real game with both players). [[See-Saw]] has one such variant where P2 controls [[See and Saw|the inspector on the left]], which goes unused.
