The game is divided into sets of four or five music-based mini-games, which are completed by pressing buttons (or flicking and tapping the touch screen) in time with the rhythm. Despite this, the DS sequel (known as Rhythm Tengoku Gold in Japanese) would receive an overseas release to a positive reception, with two more sequels following. Naturally this meant that it would be released only in Japan, not unlike the case with Mother 3.

The first game in the series was released on the GBA in late 2006, making it the last game that Nintendo developed for the system, and later in arcades as a joint project between Nintendo and SEGA. The series is a collaboration between Nintendo (specifically, the team that develops WarioWare) and Tsunku♂, a music producer known for heading the Hello! Project. The women loses interest and leaves the bar if the player messes up the second time, and the game is over.Rhythm Heaven, known in Japanese as Rhythm Tengoku and as Rhythm Paradise in European languages, can best be described as WarioWare meets Elite Beat Agents. Miss.: The player does nothing or messes up the rhythm.If the player had failed once, succeeding again causes the lady to regain a little interest. Perfect!/Ace!: The player follows the rhythm correctly, while making the lady happy.Tap (Hold): Hold glass in place/Prepare to flick.Following the rhythm properly leads to her regaining interest, and failing again makes her leave the bar off-screen, resulting in a Game Over. If the player follows the rhythm properly, the spectating lady will cheer them on. Each successful pattern adds a point, with the counter capped at 99. After a few rounds, the music goes faster, and more ladies get in line, including a green alien in a pink dress, a robot, and finally a woman with towering red hair. In the real thing, the spectator is a sad-looking lady who the four men are trying to cheer up. The player is the fourth in line, and must copy what the first three tap onto their glass.ĭuring practice, what appears to be a person in a white bear costume judges the player's performance, by holding up a sign with 〇 for a successful pattern, or ✕ if for a failed one. In this game, four characters have a wine glass in front of them which they tap in a certain rhythm to console a sad-looking lady.
