Intro...................................................................(INTRO)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, I think it"d be approprite if I introduced myself first. My name is
Matthew, but here on GameFAQs, I"m know as Bazzoka_Kirby. Else where, I"m also
known as just Bazzoka. And to further shorten that, my nick name is Bazz. I
myself enjoy rhythm games above most other games I"ve played, and Rhythm Heaven
is definitely one of my favourite games for the DS. I thought about making this
for a little, and so, here I am, typing this up. I thank you for taking a look
at this guide. In fact, this is my first time doing something like this, so
forgive me and my horrible guide, but I assure you it will get better as I get
more into it!

To find what you need, just open up the find command (Ctrl+f) and type in the
code for whatever and search away.

For anyone who wishes to put this up elsewhere, please, inform me via e-mail.
I"d rather not if you took this without my permission. But, if you"re really
impatient, you can put it anyway, but be sure to give me credit. E-Mail is at
the beginning of the whole thing, but I"ll put it right here.

My e-mail: Bazzoka_Kirby@yahoo.ca

So... you can"t say you can"t find it now.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What"s this game?.......................................................(WATGM)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, in truth, if you didn"t know about this game before it came out and when
Nintendo started to advertize it a lot, there"s a good chance you didn"t know
this is actually a sequal. Yes, that"s right.

In Japan, a game called Rhythm Tengoku (which translated into Rhythm Heaven)
for the GBA was released in 2006. It was just as crazy as this one, only it
used the buttons since, well, the GBA didn"t have a touch screen. I"m not gonna
bore you with any history besides that, but Nintendo didn"t bring this one over
seas, but it ended up being a big success. I guess after that, they decided if
they made a sequal, they"d bring it over to see how it"d fare, but that"s only
what I think. It"s not a fact... from what I know. In any case, in Japan, this
game is actually called Rhythm Tengoku Gold.

So, what is Rhythm Heaven? Well, it"s a rhythm game (duh) along the lines of
quick response timed games, pretty much like the Wario Ware Inc. games. This
makes perfect sense since it was the same people who made the Wario Ware Inc.
games, so there should obviously be some similarities.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General How to play.....................................................(HOWTO)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, even though no one reads the manual, and people might not even read this,
I"ll put this part up anyway.

So, the gameplay of Rhythm Heaven consists of purely the touch screen, with the
exception of one game, but I"ll more on that later. There are 4 commands, all
of which are easy to remember and, to me, are easy to do.

Tap: Should be obvious enough what this command is. Simply tap the touch
screen. In some cases, where the game says "tap," it actually means tap and
hold it there.

Lift: Again, should be obvious. After holding the stylus on the touch screen,
you"ll need to remove the stylus from the screen. Some games have this as their
main way of play.

Flick: Again, obvious. A good chunk of games in Rhythm Heaven use this command,
so you better get use to it and fast if you don"t wanna be left behind.

Slide: ... Do I have to say how obvious it is? Some games use this as their
main way of play.

There, the four commands. Learn them, "cause it shouldn"t be too hard.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start it up.............................................................(START)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Really, everyone should know how to turn on a DS, all three of them for that
matter, and start up the game.

So, when you do start it up, you"ll be greeted to the opening title screen; the
logo for Rhythm Heaven, pulsing to the beat of the background music. You should
also note that this game must be played sideways. There is no moment, from when
you start this game up to when you unlock everything, when you play this game
in the normal position.

At the top of the touch screen, it"ll say "Lefty" on a light blue button,
followed by "Tap here if you"re left-handed." The game starts out with it being
set for right-handed people. When you switch it up, everything then turns
upside-down. If you need to switch it back for some reason, that same button at
the new "top" of the screen will say "Righty," accompanied with "Right-handed
people, tap this."

Now, what is that thing in the middle, saying "Touch me!"? Well, tap and hold
the thing to enlarge it. There should be a picture on the enlarged version of
that thing, along with a girl at the bottom, showing a flicking motion, with
the text beside her saying "Flick like this! It"s all in the wrist." The game
won"t except no baby flick either. You really gotta put effort into this, or
you"ll never be able to play this game! Well? What are you waiting for? Get to
it!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
File Menu...............................................................(FLMNU)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, now you"re at the file select screen. 3 "NEW GAME" buttons await to be
pressed by someone. Heck, even that little creature on the top screen is even
telling you to "Choose one!" Well, go ahead, do it! Once you"ve clicked on one
of the new game buttons, it"ll bring up a bunch of nouns, like "Me," "Friend,"
"Mom," "Dad," the list goes on. Let"s just read what the little guy has to say
on the top screen, shall we? "I"ll create a save file for you." Aww, how nice.
"Pick a label for your new file!" Woah, a label instead of a *insert name here*
thing. That"s a change. Go ahead and choose the "Me" one, "cause it is your
game you"re playing, right?

Also, a quick note, once someone uses a label, you can"t use it again. You know
how weird it would be if there were to "Me"s? Yeah, that doesn"t really make
sense.

So, before I go to the next part, I"ll just go ahead and describe what it"ll
look like once you start getting games and the like.

So, now, it"ll have the label you chose. Beside your label should be Flow and
Medals, along with a number beside each. I"ll describe these things later. Now
when you actually click on it, there should a HUGE start button, which should
obviously mean that you go into your file. Below it are 3 buttons. "Change
Label," "Erase," and "Back." All three should be obvious in what they do. But
for those who really don"t and need to find out, I"ll list them.

Change Label: This is where you can change the label to say "Me" to "Dad." Why
you would give your own file to someone else is beyond me, but whatever, more
power to ya.

Erase: This is when you don"t want to continue playing this file, or you simply
don"t want it anymore, and so it would go poof, thus freeing up space for
others. Again, dunno why you"d do that, but hey.

Back: Makes go back to the file selection menu so you can chose another file to
play, just in case you accidentally clicked on someone elses file instead of
yours.

NOW I go onto the next part of a new file.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flick Practice..........................................................(FLCKP)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, this is the main thing you"ll need to learn, flicking! This is only a
simple practice, but if you keep doing it, it will help you quite a bit when
you need to dish out those extremely fast flicks.

So what you"ll need to do for the practice is flick a coin at a tin can frog.
To pass the practice, you must flick the coin at the frog can 6 times.
It doesn"t have to be in a row, so don"t get all angry if you can"t get it in
succession, but it"d be advisable if you could get all 6 flicks in succession.

Now, after hitting the frog can 6 times with the coin, you must hit a toy car
that drives by the screen 5 times. There"s a pattern for how fast the cars go.
The first two that come by are slow while a third is fast. This pattern repeats
after the thrid, fast car drives by. Again, you don"t need to hit these cars in
succession, but it"d help if you could.

After that... you"re done the practice! Yup, that"s it. It"s the only command
that"s hard to do, apparently, so if you got a good grip on this, continue
onward!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rankings................................................................(RANKS)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rhythm Heaven and its predecessor have 5 kinds of ranks when being marked on
how well you played a game. Here they are from best to worst:

Perfect: The best in the whole game. Managing to pull a perfect means that you
made zero mistakes in your run. However, you can"t just do it. You must wait
when the game allows you to have a chance of scoring this godly rank. You"ll be
able to tell, whether it be the incredibly obvious note it gives you after you
play a game or how the game has a boarder that says "Go for perfect!" with
double eighth notes and a single quarter note, that"s your cue to try for the
perfect rank. But be warned, you only have 3 shots at it. Screw up 3 times and
you have to wait until the game gives you another chance.

Superb: This is the second best rank, but is the rank that allows you to go for
a perfect, so it"s a needed rank if you wanna go for perfects. Though superb
works like a good signifer that you"ve made little to no mistakes, it still
means you might have made a mistake that on a perfect, it might have counted as
a screw up, even if it doesn"t look like it. This rank, along with opening a
chance of the game chosing it for a perfect run, it also, obviously, allows you
to pass to the next game.

Just OK: This is the third rank, meaning you didn"t do bad. In fact, you were
just below a Superb rank. Maybe you screwed up by accident a few times. Don"t
worry about it, it happens to everyone. But on the bright side, though lacking
the same qualities as a Superb rank, it will still allow you to pass onto the
next game.

OK: This is the fourth rank, and pretty much the same level as the Just OK
rank. "Then why bother give it it"s own placing?" you may ask? Well, though it
serves the same as a Just OK, this means you were only average, nothing more.
You weren"t close to a Superb, and though you were on your way to a Try Again,
you were in between.

Try Again: The fith and final rank. There"s nothing good about getting this
rank. The reason is because if you do get it, it means you didn"t do even
decently well. Actually... you may have done just below an OK, so... I think
the term "practice practice practice!" comes into mind. Don"t lose faith in
your rhythm skills just yet! However... if you get this rank, you won"t pass
and you"ll have to do this again. Get this rank 3 times in a row, and you can
go to a place for some help and skip it altogether. More on this later on.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How does it rank us?

Now, how the ranking goes about, I always thought there was a strict rule of
"you can miss this many and still pass" or something like that since I was
never the one to make many mistakes at all during runs. From looking on the
GameFAQs boards, looking at the response of 2 people, both of which have filled
in two important holes in my original thoughts.

1. There seems to be a huge difference in a "barely-made-it" hit and a miss
altogether. This seems to make perfect sense, since I"ve gotten a few
Barely-made-it""s and still have gotten a good mark. Next is...

2. The time when you screw up in the game is crucial. Apparently, screwing up
at the start isn"t as punishing as screwing up during the ending. Makes perfect
sense, due to what I thought the Built to Scale was strict, it is, in fact, the
spot I screwed up at, which was the very end.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When do perfects pop up?

Well, I"m unsure when they can appear, but I think around 6-8 games in after
getting a superb is when Perfect runs will come in to play. You have 3 chances
and after that, if you get it or not, it will disappear. The next time the game
gives you a chance is still unsure to me, but it seems to no pop up if you
constant get "Try Again" ranks. But I think it"s every 3 "Superb" ranks, not
including the perfect run tries if you felt like skipping them. I could be very
well wrong and there might be variations/exceptions to this, so feel free to
help me figure this out.

EDIT:
I actually found out that if you get every game, except for 2 OK ranks, the
rule above will lighten slightly to once every other game to exist. It becomes
every possible chance you get will be a prefect try when you get all superb
ranks. Even if you failed it 3 times in a row, a new game, or the same game
possibly, will be chosen for a perfect try right after.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Game Mapping............................................................(GMMAP)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is where I make a general and simple layout for both the top and touch
screens. Both of which are for fully completed games, though the only one that
is heavily affected by being fully completed is the touch screen. So, let"s
go!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Top Screen..............................................................(TOPSC)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                         _____
_______________________/     \__
/  __________________   |*rank|  \
| /                  \  |here*|  |
| |*Name of game here|  \_____/  |
| \__________________/    Rank   |
|  __________________________    |
| /                          \   |
| | *message for the         |   |

| |                          |   |
| |                          |   |
| |                          |   |
| |                          |   |
| |                          |   |
| |                          |   |
| \__________________________/   |
\________________________________/
_____________      _____________
/ Flow ###    \    /  Medals  ## \
\_____________/    \_____________/

All things above are blank, bar Flow and Medals, if you haven"t selected a
"game door" as I like to call them.

So, remember how I said I"d get back to the Flow and medals? Well, here it is.

Flow is where the game measures your rhythmical sense. The higher the number,
the better. Don"t be sad if it"s low at the beginning. The more games you earn,
the higher your Flow could be. Even if your Flow is really low, it shouldn"t
to you. How it goes up and down is determined on how well you play a game. From
what I"ve seen, the lowest Flow is 26, but I"d love to be proven wrong and for
someone to tell me someone can actually get 25 Flow points. Highest I"ve gotten
is 138, but that doesn"t seem right. Can someone confirm for me if 140 is the
highest? I think it is, but I have no clue.

Now medals? This is what you get when you get a Superb rank on a game. Unlike a
OK/Just OK rank, a Superb rank will give you a golden boarder around the game
you got the Superb rank on. Getting medals opens up Endless games and Rhythm
Toys.

Main Game...............................................................(MAING)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the beginning of each set, I"ll just give my own personal thought and
comments into them.

For each individual game, I"ll use this format:

In-game message:(top screen message given)

Personal description:(my personal description on the game at hand)

Personal thoughts:(any thoughts I have on mind about this game)

Order of patterns:(only if it"s logical to have one)

Tips for Superb:

Extra Tips for Perfect:

Perfect get:

Rank messages:

If whatever tips I give don"t work, here"s the golden tip of them all, if not
most: If it doesn"t work as well for you, try closing your eyes. Listening to
just the music can really help, especially for a majority of these games in
Rhythm Heaven since all of them have really crazy visuals.

Remixes will have the format like so:

In-game message:

Personal description:

Personal thoughts:

Order of games:(order of which games go when during that particular remix)

Tips for Superb:

Extra Tips for Perfect:

Perfect get:

Rank messages:

Also note, in both the order of patterns/games, I cannot give you the timing,
obviously. So, you must learn the timing on your own. I only put the list so
you"ll be prepared for it. Sometimes, it might not even help! A prime example
would be the Moai Doo-Wop. My pattern list doesn"t tell you how long you need
hold it, so you"ll just have to get the timing yourself.

One more notice, for every perfect run, be calm and collected during the whole
thing! I know it may be hard, but think nothing of it while you play a perfect
run. You"ll have less of a chance of screwing up via being too tense or some
other reason that may potentially screw you up.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Set 1...................................................................(SET01)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first set are the first 4 games you play and will pretty much be the
practice to get a feel for the rest of the game. That"s not to say this game
will be boring, oh, heavens no. So, let"s get to it, shall we?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Built to Scale..........................................................(G01-1)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In-game message:
"Feel the rhythm of the factory line as you build... stuff. It"s hard to
explain, so just try playing it."


Personal description:
So, this game consists of you using the flick command to shoot a rod at two
white, I"ll assume, metal plates with a hole in both of them. Obviously,
shooting the rod at these metal plates with the corret timing will connect them
together. Too late/early will result with the rob merely hitting both the
plates and knock them off. Failure to actually hit them at all will result with
both plates sliding down two black slits in the ground. You wanna try and avoid
just hitting them, even more so with missing.


Personal thoughts:
Though it"s the first game, don"t underestimate it. You may very well do bad if
you"re not rhythmically endowed.

Really, this is where you find out that, if you"re like me, the timing to flick
is a bit more precise then you may think.

And the "Spot light" part, as I like to call it, can really screw you over if
you"re more of a visual guy.


Tips for Superb:
Remember, the timing is a little precise, so it may or may not help you if you
flick ever so slightly later then you normally would, and I really do mean
slightly.

Also, this is a game that"s very strict for getting a superb... on the last
one. Due to the post on the GameFAQs Rhythm Heaven board, I can now say that
this one isn"t super strict for superb. Apparently only the last one causes
you to lose superb instantly.


Extra Tips for Perfect:
I have nothing to really add on for this. It"s just practice from here on.

Glee Club...............................................................(G01-1)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In-game message:
"Join a trio of chorus singers. You"re the third, so you just have to keep up
with the others!"


Personal description:
Glee Club consists of, as the message says, a trio of chorus singers and you
are, again as the message said, the third one. You must simply follow along
with the others, mimicking their moves at the right time. This game is one of
the very few that uses the lift command as it"s main basis. This game requires
the player to leave the stylus on the touch screen unless you want your singer
to start singing at the wrong time. Along with the lift command, you must also
use the flick command when the conductor says "Together now," to yell.


Personal thoughts:
Second game, and I personally didn"t find it all too hard, though a lot of
people seem to find it hard. This could be because there a few visual hints as
to lift your stylus.

There are two parts that I would deem harder then the rest of this one game.
Near the middle, there"s a short and then a longer "Ah." Getting the shorter
"Ah" can be harder I would think. Then going off into the longer "Ah", you may
have already drifted too far off beat.

The other one could possibly be the after the one above. Having to time it so
you cut off your "Ah"ing with everyone else could be a tad hard.


Order of patterns:
"Ah"
"Ah, "Together now""
"Ah"
"Ah"
"Ah, "Together now""
"Ah, ah"
"Ah"
"Ah, "Together now""
"Ah"
"Ah"
"Ah"


Tips for Superb:
Enough though there"s a lack of visual aid to help you out, you can always tap
your foot or count out loud to get the timing right. Nodding the head proves
to be my main method of helping myself out with the less visually helping ones.


Extra Tips for Perfect:
Now, this one is somewhat picky with the timing, this being if you lift a
little too early, or a little too late, you"ll lose that perfect run for that
try even though the others down"t look at you funny, thus, again, I"d suggest
you refine the lift timing until you get it down for this one.

Fillbots................................................................(G01-3)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In-game message:
"This factory builds robots. (What did you expect?) It"s your job to fuel "em
up once they"re built."


Personal description:
The in-game message is right about the fact you have to fuel them up. Really,
that"s all you have to do. You don"t have to build them, since the game sets
that up for you. However, you must tap and hold to "fuel "em up" and the time
when you let go is fully dependent on which robot it is. The skinny robot is
for 4 beats while the fat ones are for 8 beats. If you don"t fill them up
enough, they"ll seem sad. If you fill them up a little too much, they"ll seem
like they"re panicking. Fill them up TOO much, and they"ll explode. Yeah, sure,
try it out and laugh, then get back to being serious. If you fill them up
properly, they will do a dance! Yeah, that"s right. However, if your timing
truly is spot on, they"ll fly up via boosters. Hey, don"t ask me why.

Personal thoughts:
Even though it"s the third game, it"s annoying. It"s fairly long and the ending
half of this one is mostly off-beats, at least from what I can tell. Well,
either that or seemingly odd timed normal beats. You have to play it for
yourself to understand what I"m talking about.

I won"t hold anything against you if you have to skip this one.


Order of patterns:
5 skinny
1 fat
9 skinny
1 fat


Tips for Superb:
When it gets to the, what I described as, "oddly timed beats," I think it"d be
best if you, instead of paying attention to the music, paid attention to the
robot being built. The "Tonk Tonk Tonk" (or however you wish to describe it as)
is a good way to help you time to tap and hold the stylus on the screen. Maybe
someone with a better musical sense then I might give you a better tip then
this.

Once again, it"s purely with practice. I dunno how to help out other then my

Personal description:
You are a monkey. Yes. You did read that right. So you"re a monkey that is part
of a crowd, that is, what I"ll assume, the fan club of the singing on stage.
As the in-game message suggests, you have to do what your "friends" do. But
this isn"t anything like "Simon says" like Glee Club. Oh no, you need to do
do such things at the same time. However, there are audio cues that help you
figure out what to do and when. A repitition of 3 words results in 4 claps, a
single clap being a single tap. Then there"s the "I suppose." This results in
doing a clap~ clapclap flick... it"s hard to explain. You"ll see in the
tutorial.


Personal thoughts:
This one isn"t too hard if you"ve nailed down the flick first. It"s fairly
short, so that"s always a plus. But, I remember someone pointing this out, this
being that is says do 4 claps when there"s a repitition of 3 words. HOWEVER,
there"s a phrase in there, "love you, love you, love you~." A simple
translation error since in Japanese, all of them were single words and "suki"
translates into, from my little Japanese knowledge, "love you." But it"s one
word in Japanese, so... yeah, I"m sure you can use common sense to think up a
reasonable excuse for such a thing.


Order of patterns:
"Yeah yeah yeah"
"I suppose"
"Hocus hocus hocus"
"I suppose"
"Boom boom boom"
"I suppose"
"Love you, love you, love you"

Tips for Superb:
Always remember to clap after the singer has said the audio cues, not while she
says them. See, once you get the feel for the song, sometimes you can
accidentally clap on instinct for when she actually says the words and not
after... er, if you"re like me that is. I sometimes still do that...

"Return the ball to the beat! The trick is knowing how quickly the ball is
coming at you. Good Luck!"

Personal description:
Oh, trust me, you"ll need that luck for this one if you haven"t seen any videos
of this ones gameplay. So, you"re a blue rectangular like guy with another
similar guy. Both of you are going to a ping pong match. This whole thing is
flick central and you need to know how to react fast. There"s a normal pass, a
slow pass, and a quick pass. Both the normal a slow passes have no audio cues,
since the former is the one being used most throughout the whole game and the
latter is slow enough that you can catch it. The fast one, however is too fast,
and no human could possible know when to do it if it"s their first time
playing. Thus, there"s an audio cue of a cow bell, somewhat in the background,
something like "Tonk tink tonk." The speed of the audio cue will be how fast
the ping pong ball will go.


Personal thoughts:
It"s two of the Cosmic Dancers! If you didn"t know, these two guys are from the
original Rhythm Tengoku.

The tutorial is nice and slow so you can get use to the timing. But the main
game has a fairly fast tempo and the fast pass is possibly too fast. Not
memorizing it beforehand will cause many problems for you.

Personal description:
This game involves you in a fighter ship in space, and you need to shoot the

says," where it will give out the pattern first then you must repeat it, only
making them explode, not making them come in. Shooting is a simple tap on the
screen. That"s all there is to it, and it really shouldn"t be too hard.

Tips for Superb:
If it helps, and it certainly helps me sometimes, tap along off screen with the
aliens as they create the pattern for you then there"s a better chance you
understand the pattern and when to tap the screen.


Extra Tips for Perfect:
I wanted to hold this one out for this, since it can apply to both Superb and
Perfect runs.

You see, when you"re spot on with the timing, you"ll make them explode, right?
Well, then there"s the time when you hit them, but they swerve off screen.
Makes you think you screwed up, right? Wrong. In a perfect run, doing such a
thing will not cause you to fail that perfect run. Only if you miss the alien
altogether will it count as a mistake. Hope that helps for the people who don"t
know.

Another interesting tip. You can tap whenever you want during the entire game
and it won"t count as a miss. If you weel the need to hear the blaster and not
the tapping of plastic against plastic, you can tap on the touch screen. I"d
advise not to try and copy the 8 volly shots exactly. Just tap to the beat then
actually shoot the 8 volly aliens.

screen. When he says "Stretch out your neck," you must tap and hold then flick

Personal description:
Oh, how they couldn"t have worded it better then myself. Well... than again,
I"m pretty bad at wording things. Uh, anyway! You are the moai on the right
hand side (the one with the bow if you"re not sure). These Easter Island heads
have the right sense of rhythm, and so must you. To do a standard "Doo-wop,"
you have to tap and hold your stylus on the touch screen to make a "Doo...",
until you release, ending it with a "...wop." But now for that short "WOP!"
they make, it"s a simple tap. Doo-wop, doo-wop, dooooo-wop. WOP! WOP! *smacked*


Personal thoughts:
This one is pretty evil to do. Even though I would consider myself to have some
rhythmical endowment, it was still annoying to do. Luckily, it"s not extremely
long. I think the general concept is pretty funny. Anyway...


Order of patterns:

"Doo-wop, WOP! WOP! WOP!"


Tips for Superb:
Alright, so, you may have some troubles, but that"s perfectly fine. Using my
method, this might help you. Doing the same you did with "Shoot-"Em-Up," tap
off-screen with the leader moai so you can get a better feel for the pattern
you must do. It helped me a bit.

Now, for another method that I tried using, but it didn"t help me too much. I
remember seeing someone saying something like "Look at the birds bobbing their
heads. This will help you get the timing down," or something like that. It"s
true, the birds are bobbing their heads, and it can be used for the timing, but
it was a real pain for me to use, so I just stuck with my own method and just
listening, but feel free to use this if you"re having trouble and my method
doesn"t help you.


Extra Tips for Perfect:
The timing is, like Glee Club, a bit picky in terms of starting the "Doo" and
ending with the "wop." What a superb counts as fine, perfect does not, so
there"s that fine line of mistake and perfect. Practice.

Well, bad news is that the Moai Doo-Wop has quite a few parts. BUT, Rhythm
Rallly only has, like, one. So, you"re only getting one of the two hard ones in

Love Lizards............................................................(G03-1)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In-game message:
"When two lizards meet in the desert, they communicate their feelings the only
way they know how!"


Personal description:
Oh love, you come up a few times in Rhythm Heaven. Love Lizards has it so you
must copy the small, aqua coloured male lizard as you play as the big, yellow
coloured female. The male has a huge maraca like tail, while you have a thin,
yet hard, tail, along with a spiky back. Tapping and holding the stylus on the
touch screen has it so your lizard put her tail on her back. Sliding it up and
down will cause you to have the tail rub your back, making a... well, I"m not
good with instument names, but like a wood stick on a wavy piece of wood...? I
dunno, if someone could tell me what it"s called, I"ll be glad to fix this.
ANYWAY, using this, you must match the male"s pattern of his maraca tail. If I
even need to refer to the pattern, it"s 4 slides, but I"ll call it "a set."


Personal thoughts:
Well, honestly, if people thought the small lizard was the female, think about
nature for a second, "Which one is usually bigger when it comes to creatures
like this?" That"s what I thought once and and then I figured it had to be the
female you"re playing as. I"m mainly speaking to the people who"ve played the
Japanese version.

Umm... now, onto the actual thoughts about the gameplay of this one. It"s very
repetitive, but by all means, it"s not bad. I rather like it. Maybe because
it"s so simple. That and it"s cute. Oh come on, admit it, you think it"s cute
too.


Tips for Superb:
After the male does his little dance, it"s then that you slide the stylus up
and down, not while he"s doing the dance. Also, I"d suggest that you keep the
stylus "on your back" at all times, since some of the audio cues might be a bit
sudden and you might screw up.


Extra Tips for Perfect:
Ah, another picky one, from my experiences. If the timing is fairly close to
the male"s, it"ll count as a screw up, but like always, the male lizard still
makes a <3 sign even if a perfect run says otherwise, so don"t be decived.

Crop Stomp..............................................................(G03-2)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In-game message:
"It"s harvest time! It may seem like a weird way to pluck beets, but it works.
Oh, and watch out for moles!"


Personal description:
So, you control the Stomp Farmer, who, you may have guessed, stomps. What for?
Well, to get those beets out of the ground. Tapping the screen with his voice
will make him stomp, forcing the beets out of the ground. Wow, that does seem
a bit weird. After the beets have shot out of the ground, they wont just go
into your basket. Oh no, you need to flick to hit them in. Oh, and, like the
in-game message, you have to watch out for those moles, those little... They"re
heavier then beets apparently so they don"t fly up as high when you stomp, so
the timing for the flick is much faster, but it"ll be worth it.


Personal thoughts:
This one is pretty interesting. There"s a cameo"s from the original Japanese
game, which is cool. Also, hitting the moles is fun, since they go "BLEH!" as
you smack them in the face, sending them off screen.

Anyway, this one is all about the stomping, and for me, I found it very fun,
though I"ve heard some people have had some troubles with this one, which isn"t
something I like to hear since... well, I just said I found it very fun.

Tips for Superb:
So, like I said, stomping. It"s a good thing. When there"s no beets around, you
should keep stomping to keep you in "beet" (aha ha ha I"m sorry...). This way
when you"re getting back to the beets, you won"t be off... "beet" (alright,
I"ll really stop this time).

A simple tap is all it takes to take a picture of a race car. But, there are
two different kinds of race cars. The small, normal ones, which are slow enough

original will see them right away... I hope. But in any case, this one doesn"t
require flicking, so that"s a good thing for all those people who are still
having trouble with it.

got what it takes with a dazzling audition!"


Personal description:
You are the last girl on the right side out of the 3 rows, starting from top to
bottom. There will be various patterns that you"ll have to perform (and here I
thought I wouldn"t need to put a order of patterns for this one...) , all of
which end with you and the girl beside you or above you. The girls boxes above
you will turn dark, and you must do the same when it gets to you and the girl
beside you. After that, those patterns I was telling you about kick in as you
use the flick command to strike a pose and make a "shing" kinda sound. Failing
to do so will get the other girls to look at you funny... Stop looking at me
like that!


Personal thoughts:
This one, from my experiences, gave me a little bit of trouble, but I"ll cover
that in the tips. Aside from that, the tempo is slow enough so I don"t think
you"ll need your awesome reflex skills for this one.

Tips for Superb:
Now, this one is kinda weird sometimes. It"s either you get the timing spot on
or slightly after you"re suppose to, never slightly before. If you do it
slightly before, it"ll count as a minor mistake of just a big mistake in
general, from what"s happened to me a few times. So, if you"re like me and HAVE
to get perfect timing on it, until you really get the use of flicking and it"s
timing, I"d suggest you stick with forcing yourself to wait a fraction of a
second after you"re suppose to, "cause it worked out fine with me when I did
that.

In-game description:
"It"s time to mix things up! This one"s got a spaghetti-western/samurai vibe.
(And no practice for you!)"


Personal description:
I dunno what the heck spaghetti western means, but it certainly has a very
Japanese feel to it, maybe even a old time Japan-like feel to it? I dunno. But,
In this remix, everything is extremely... well, I dunno how to describe it
other than "dull," but that wouldn"t be right since it"s still very unique.
Curse my horrible vocabulary. Well, the only one that didn"t get this treatment
was the Freeze Frame parts; that one is now boats instead of cars.

Personal thoughts:
Oh man, slow tempo. This might get some of you since it"s kinda slow. The Love
Lizards parts are the only parts that feel incredibly fast. Maybe a few of The
Dazzles parts. Oh, for the order of games thing, I"ll still refer to the Freeze
parts as cars, even though they"re boats. Less of a hassle for me.

Tips for Superb:
Once again, all depends on how well you nailed down the original versions of
each part. However, since this is a bit slower then almost all of the original

Munchy Monk.............................................................(G04-1)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In-game message:
"Your training takes place deep in the mountains. We call it monk training, but
it"s really just eating dumplings all day."


Personal description:
So, apparently, you"re doing monk training, but really, you just eating
multicoloured dumplings everyday to a crazy tune. Yeah, that"s pretty much it.
You got some random guy putting dumplings in your hand. This one only uses the
tap command, which is you smacking your arm, causing your hand to fling
whatever at his face. This also has 3 different audio cues. First one you learn
is "One, go!" A hand will put a single white dumpling in you palm. On the "go!"
part, you need to tap. Next is "Three! Go! Go! Go!" This time a... different
coloured hand will give you... 3 green dumplings? In any case, during each
"go!", the hand will give you a new dumping, so you need to tap on each "go!"
Final one, and one that you"ll probably screw up on if you"re new to this, the
"T-two! Go go!" This one, is pretty much like "One, go!" only you press it
twice, rather then once. The time to press still starts at the same time as the
"One, go!" cue, but just add in another one.


Personal thoughts:
I love how if you listen to a gameplay video of the actual game and then try to
do the practice, your timing will be all screwy. Well, it was for me and it
took quite a few tries to get it right before I actually knew the timing for
it. Though this one is a bit fast, so you might end up having to try again on
this one. Still, one of my favourites.


Order of patterns:
"One, go!"
"One, go!"
"One, go!"
"One, go!"
"Three! Go! Go! Go!"
"T-two! Go go!"
"One, go!"
"One, go!"

Tips for Superb:
That list may seem long, but it"s pretty short.

The whole thing is reflex central. Get why I said it was "pretty short?" It
goes by fast, so you really need to either get a grip on the audio cues and the
tempo, or memorize it. Either which way, both worked for me.

Also, to get a hang on those double dumplings, if you"re really having trouble,
don"t try and get them. Just let them fall, but listen to when the guy says "Go
go!" Remember, if that guys says "go!", it"s your cue to tap the touch screen.


Extra Tips for Perfect:
So... you think it tapping the screen after it"s done will cost you your
Perfect? Well, it won"t. I dunno why! Just be happy it doesn"t! Also, practice!

In-game message:
"Pick up some tips from DJ Yellow, and see if can learn his patented move.
Scratch-o, hey!"


Personal description:
So, you"re the blue, weird looking guy in this one.  It"s a simple job you need
to do; tap and hold when "DJ Yellow" says "Uh!" Now don"t let go. When the DJ
says "Hey!", that"s when you flick, and look really awesome. This has audio
cues, along with visual cues, but it"s better if you pay attention to the
audio then the visuals. For the "Uh!" clip, it will follow after either "Break!
Come on!" or "... And stop!" For "Hey!", however, only has one cue, being the
ever so awesome "Scratch-o!" And that"s all there is too it.


Personal thoughts:
This on has such catchy music. And, personally, it"s not too hard to boot, so,
big plus there. Also, it makes a funny disk scratching sound if you tap and
hold, then slide the stylus on the touch screen. It"s pretty interesting.


Tips for Superb:
So, this is another one that seems very strict before the action happens, but
somewhat lenient after the action happens, like The Dazzles game. So, follow my
advice for that. It might be little bit more strict in general, but I"m not
really sure. In fact The Dazzles might be more strict for all I know...

Well, you know the drill by now, nothing more to add on. Practice!

In-game message:
"The red team"s pushed you around for long enough! It"s time to show them who"s
got rhythm! Go, blue!"


Personal description:
So, this involves you being a taiko drummer. Yeah, it"s called a taiko drum
from my knowledge. So, as it indicates, you are the blue team, thus you"re the
blue drummer. And you"ll get a group of 3 cheerlearders, fancy that. This one
requires a simple tap on the touch screen. However, don"t underestimate it, as
there ends up being quite a few patterns. These may help or not, but a single
hit is counted as a "DON" while consecutive hits, with this it"s 3, are counted
as "DOKODON," with more "DOKO""s added in when needed"


Personal thoughts:
Beinging myself, I didn"t find this very hard to do, but again, that"s just me.
I definitely love how they didn"t change any of the background music either,
keeping in the "OSU!" and "Se no!" Love it, it just keeps the feeling of a
taiko drum for some reason. Could be because I"ve played various other Japanese
rhythm games quite a bit.


Order of patterns:
"DON DON DON DON DON DON DON"
"DON DON DON DON DON DON DON"
"DON DON DON DON DON DOKODON"
"DON DOKODON DON DON DOKODON"
"DON DOKODON DOKODON DOKODON"

"DON DOKODOKODOKODOKODOKODON"
*speed up*

*slow down*
"DON DON DON DON DON DOKODON"


Tips for Superb:
So having toubles listening to the DONs and DOKODONs and end up miscounting
them? Don"t count them. If you listen a little harder, you"ll hear a whistle
being blown each time the red drummer hits the taiko drum. Try and pay
attention to those whistle blows rather then the DONs and DOKODONs. Trust me,
it"ll help if you do. If listening to the DONs and DOKODONs helps you more then
listening to the whistle blows, that"s fine too. Also, memorization can help
out too.

In-game message:
"The research scientists of Love Lab intend to get to the bottom of this whole
"love" thing. Just make sure there aren"t any accidents!"


Personal description:
So, set in an afternoon like appearance, with the whole place with an orange
tint to it, you are the female scientist next to the man with blue glasses. The
whole concept is to make hearts via a flask that is passed to you from said man
with glasses. You must tap and hold to grab a flask tossed to you, creating a
heart. Then you slide it up and down to make more hearts and/or you toss it on
to the next person via the flick. With this in mind, you must copy what the guy
with glasses does. When he does these things, the flask makes blue hearts. IF
you properly timed each action to match the guys actions, the two sides of
hearts, his blue, yours red, will join together to make... pick hearts. If I
recall, blue and red don"t make pink... Er, anyway, failure to grab the flask
being tossed to you will cause it to fall and... break. Failure to correctly
mimic the guy will cause all hearts that weren"t matched up side by side to try
and fuse together, only to fail and disappear.


Personal thoughts:
One of my favourite games. It"s so nice and calm and it just has a really nice,
uplifting feeling, you know? Well, whatever. This one can possibly be quite
hard, being for the fact you have to pretty much copy the timing of the guy.
I"ve heard this was hard to do, but I"ve passed through this one with easy.
Maybe you"ll be like me?

Tips for Superb:
Well, it all boils down to if you can copy the guy"s actions. Possibly what
I"ve told you do for Shoot-"Em-Up and Moai Doo-Wop; do what the guy does
off-screen. Of course, there"s memorizing. Well, then there"s also getting a
firm grip on the actual commands. Nice, holding the stylus on screen until you
need to flick, do big slides to make it register the shakes, and of course
strong flicks. May I note that one shake is a slide up then down. That"s why
it"s advisable to put your stylus down near the "bottom" of the touch screen so
you"ll have more room for the slides.


Extra Tips for Perfect:
Again, a picky timer. Even if you get the timing down right for a superb, it
might not fly with a perfect. So just be weary about this. However, I know it
may be hard to do this, but if you"re like me, you"ll start to tense up a
little and end up screwing up some part. TRY and stay calm. Actually, that
sounds like something I should have just put as a general notice for all
perfect runs. *does so now*

In-game message:
"It"s time to mix things up! Can"t you feel the romance? The drama? (And no

Personal description:
So, yeah, romantic theme now. And what a coincidence, there"s a game with the
word "love" in it that does, indeed, invlove romace and whatnot. Love Lab and
Munchy Monk"s backrounds have been changed to stereotypical romance places,
THAT ARE CHILD FRIENDLY, A.K.A. a picnic and carnival respectively. DJ School
and Drummer Duel bother have small edits to them, like changing sublte things
into hearts or something like that.


Personal thoughts:
I"ve noticed how almost none of the games in each remix had anything to do with
the theme presented. Kinda weird. Er, anyway,  This is probably one of my
favourite remixes. It"s most likely because it has all the games I really
enjoy, besides a few that aren"t in this set.

For the sake of saving space, I"ll abbreviate the "Grab shake toss" for Love
Lab. It takes up quite a bit of space. Also not going to write out the whole
audio cues for Munchy Monk. That takes up a lot more space then Love Lab. I"ll
just put down "#" for which audio cue. Should be obvious which cues I"m talking
about.

In-game message:
"There"s no I in synchronized swimming, so get out there and... What? There is?
Well, get out there anyway and show"em your stuff!"


Personal description:
So, from the in-game message, it"d be obvious that this was about riding a
bike... What"d you expect? Seriously though, you"re the last swimmer in a row
of 3 (well, that"s certainly original) and you have to copy what the other
swimmers do. That said, it can still be tricky. The main thing about this one
is you have to go underwater, via tapping and holding the stylus on the touch
screen. Now you either need to lift or flick, a lift making your swimmer come
back up, while a flick makes them jump out of the water with a dolphin. Along
with the flick command, you must either follow the other swimmer as the last
one in the row or when the crowd "woooooah!", all three swimmers must jump out
with a dolphin, A.K.A. you have flick when the crowd does that.


Personal thoughts:
I dunno what to think of this one. I found it easy though. This is pretty slow,
so none of the cues caught me off guard. And to add on, this one has some
pretty cool music.


Tips for Superb:
Not entirely sure for this one, but this game doesn"t have any of the
"barely-made-it" kinda things, so it"s either you get it or you don"t.

... Turns out I"m wrong. I think this one does have "barely-made-it" kinda of
hits, you just... can"t tell if you did it or not. It think it"s best if you
just think of it as a full blown mistake.

In-game message:
"These ghosts are rocking out a late-night show. Bedtime"s coming, thought, so
they have to keep the songs on the short side."


Personal description:
Being one of the three ghosts, the blue "normal" one to be exact, you must
strum a guitar along with the green ghost as the red ghost there counts you in.
I"m not sure about the bedtime thing since they"re ghosts, but they really do
play extremely short songs. In fact they play a total of 8 different song.
At the end of each count down the red ghost gives you, you must strum, flick
to strum, the guitar 4 times, but like I said, with the  green ghost.
Successful, the green ghost will say "Thank you." and the next song will play.
Fail horribly, the green ghost will just go "Ahem..." and move on.


Personal thoughts:
This one is totally random. More on that in the tips section. I do like this,
however, and it has an interesting feel to it. I mean, really. Ghosts playing
in a band. How often do you see that?


Tips for Superb:
Alright, now, this one is completely random. Why? Well, in the tutorial, you
play the first and last songs of this game. While you at least know when it
starts and when it will end, there is no way to predict what song will come up
next, besides the first and last ones. So this one requires a bit of relex
training.

EDIT: I was wrong about that. Sorry guys. It does, in fact, signify that you
got a part wrong if you think you didn"t. When he says "Thank you." in a half-
hearted kind of voice, that"s when you know you"ve screwed up somewhere in that
one song. HOWEVER! You can still get a superb and, in turn, a perfect with it
being slightly off and the green ghost saying it in half-hearted kind of way.

Extra Tips on Perfect:
So, yet another picky one. But here"s something for you; you don"t have to copy
what the green ghost does EXACTLY the way he does it. Even though he strums
then quickly goes to ready for the next strum, you don"t have to do that. All
you need to make sure is that you strum when he does. That"s all. (EDIT:
Confrimed. This is a fact.)

said, vegetables, via the flick command. Well... that"s just about it. Nothing
too complicating about this one, though I suppose you people who are having
trouble with this game should be happy.


Personal thoughts:
I was sad that there wasn"t anything more other then normal, on-beat slices,
then the off-beat slices. Ain"t exactly good thing since this is one of my

Personal description:
Well, it"s a good thing you can"t really set the stage on fire, otherwise, it"d
be fried frong tonight!... ... anyway... You"re a set of 4 backup dancers in
some frog... band? I have no clue. In any case, you got the lead singer and a
female upfront, while there"s you and three other backup dancers in the back.
Being a dancer in general mean constant movement, for the most part, so from
start to finish, you must tap the screen in beat, as to not get get by the
other backup dancers. Along with the constant tapping of the screen, there"s
three audio cues you must know. First is the "Yahoo!" This is where you tap
twice, where the second tap ends off-beat. Then there"s "Yeah yeah yeah" which
is three taps in a row. Finally is "Spin it boys!" where you must tap and hold
then flick to do a spin. Lots to do, I know, but bare with me.

Tips for Superb:
Ugh, long games are long. Keep trucking at it though. This one is slow enough,
for me, that I can rely pretty much on the audio cues. But just remember, don"t
stop the constant on-beat tapping. If you do, you"ll be doomed to do this one
again and again and again. And memorization would be a pain to do for this, but
if it will help you, by all means, go for it.


Extra Tips for Perfect:
Now, this one is one of lesser strict ones I was talking about with
Shoot-"Em-Up. Since you have to constantly tap, making a "barely-got-it" tap,
with the frog making sweat marks, will still bag you a perfect. I mean really,
who can honestly get a perfect on this without the help of the lenient perfect
for this one? Well... maybe some of those hardcore gamers out there, but not
me, that"s for sure. So, remember, this one is lenient.

Also, thank the heavens that after it"s done, you can"t tap anymore, so if you
take the extra tap by mistake after it"s done, it won"t count. Heck, it doesn"t
even register.

Remix 5.................................................................(REG05)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In-game message:
"It"s time to mix things up! This is a peppy piece, full of energy and fun.
(And no practice for you!)


Personal description:
I dunno what this theme is suppose to be for this one. Hopever, there seems to
be a crowd in every one of these in this remix, so... I"m not sure. A puplic
theme? Crowd theme? I have no clue.


Persona thoughts:
Nothing much to say other then it"s got an interesting tune... yeah... nothing
else comes to mind really.

Oh right. Dog Ninja has an audio cue for this remix for some reason. It"s "Here
we go!" Yeah, not sure why either. I"ll also type out "..." for frog hop if all
you do is tap for the constant beat. And for Big Rock Finish, I type out "#
end" for the 4 strum finish. Since Splashdown requires you to be underwater
first, I"ll type out what you need to do after you tap and hold.


Order of games:
Frog Hop               (...)
Dog Ninja              (1 slice)
Big Rock Finish        (1 end)
Splashdown             (1 lift, 1 flick")
Dog Ninja              (1 slice)
Frog Hop               (3 "Spin it boys!")

Dog Ninja              (1 slice)
Big Rock Finish        (1 end)
Splashdown             (2 flicks)
Dog Ninja              (3 slices)
Fog Hop                (1 "Spin it boys!")


Tips for Superb:
Alright, I lied about not knowing why Dog Ninja had an audio cue. It"s to
notify you that it"s the Dog Ninja game. Why? It"s because the Dog Ninja game
comes after Fog Hop and Splashdown fast, so it needs to tell you some how that
it"s no longer Frog Hop or Splashdown or to warn you you need to make a slice
soon.

Nothing else comes to mind, besides nailing down the original versions of each
of the games.


Extra Tips for Perfect:
Well, since this ends with Frog Hop, I"ll say this: you can still tap after
it"s done! Probablky because you didn"t have to constantly tap for the last
part. So... yeah, other then that... Practice!

Space Soccer............................................................(G06-1)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In-game message:
"Don"t drop the ball! It takes some crafty legwork to keep that thing in the
air! Kick, kick, kick!"


Personal description:
Well, that the message says is true. Have you ever tries playing keep-up with a
soccer ball? I haven"t... um, but that"s not point. You"re some... guy in a
pale purple suit on a flying... something. I"m not quite sure what. You must
keep the soccer ball up by tapping the screen in beat with the music. When you
hear the guy say "High!" the ball will fly out away from the normal tapping
range, thus you must tap then flick on the off-beat to make his kick it with a
"Kick O!"... wait, or is it "Kick toe!"? Whatever. That"s it.


Personal thoughts:
Catchy song. And the whole thing is just random. It"s a guy on a flying
platform, playing keep-up.

In other news, I didn"t find this one too hard. But like always, it may be
harder for others.


Tips for Superb:
Remember, to hit it when the guy says "High!" is when you need to tap and hold
the stylus then flick and that the flick is off beat. This all happens somewhat
fast, so practice is in order. Go through the tutorial a few times if you can"t
get it right.


Extra Tip for Perfect:
Well, here"s something interesting. All you need to do is hit the ball so it
doesn"t fall. The interesting part is that you may be pretty much off but just
barely hit the ball back up. Yeah, I think this is another lenient one, but
since there"s no actual sign of a "barely-made-it" kinda thing in this one, I
can"t say for sure. But yeah, as long as you hit it, from my knowledge, you"ll
still get it.

Lockstep................................................................(G06-2)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In-game message:
"This one"s all about hitting the beat, flipping it, and then nailing the
backbeat. Experience both sides of the rhythm!"


Personal description:
Being one of possibly thousands of these black and white guys, you must tap in
time with the beat then flip it to tap with the backbeat, as these guys call
it. There are obviously audio cues when to switch between the two beats. Going
from "Hai, hai, hai, hai-Ah! Ah, ah, ah..." is switching from the main beat to
the backbeat. And the "Hm ha hm ha hai, hai, hai..." is switching back to the
main beat. Yeah, sounds simple doesn"t it?


Personal thoughts:
I love this one and how easy it is. However, until you get a good grasp of it,
you might think it"s pretty hard. Don"t worry about it. Just keep practicing on
this and you"ll learn to love it... I hope.


Tips for Superb:
This one is all about nailing the backbeat tapping and the switching. I don"t
have must advice for this besides just keep practicing it until you get it.

I did, however, see this piece of advice on the boards once. It went something
like this, "I"d suggest you don"t play with your headphones on. Hearing
yourself tap the screen may help you with the timing." To me, this actually
makes sense and it does help you grasp the beat a little better then not
hearing your taps.


Extra Tips for Perfect:
Being another one of the few lenient ones, as long as you"re close to the
timing, you"re alright. The "barely-made-it" for this is you still make the
animation, you just don"t make a marching sound, but instead you make that...
sound... I dunno what to call it. But yeah. As long as you aren"t out of line,
you"re fine (hey, it rhythmed :D).

Also, if you"ll look to the P at the end of the run, you"ll notice that those
extra taps near the end don"t count since the P doesn"t light up when you tap.
You may choose to stop and rest a little and bask in you perefct get, or keep
tapping, just to be sure.

Personal description:
So, played enough Guitar Hero? Good, "cause now you get to play another kind of
guitar game. Being a disciple of another guitarist, you must follow his lead,
via copying whatever he does after he does it, like "Simon says." Wow, a lot of
games have a "Simon says" feel to them, don"t they? Er, anyway, strumming the
guitar is just like in Big Rock Finish. Along with that, you can also mute the
chords, which is actually a requirement, so don"t forget to muet them now at
the same point your higher up did.


Personal thoughts:
Anotehr guitar game you don"t need to know how to play the guitar to play.
Hurray. Well, I like the music in this one, since it"s all upbeat and stuff.
Besides that...

... is that a guy or a girl? Honestly, I can"t tell. I mean, it"s probably a
guy, but just the general appearance of that character you play is just looks
really girly. Not like that"s a bad thing, I"m just saying. Anyway...


Tips for Superb:
If it helps, keep your stylus on the touch screen at all times and strum/mute
the chords when you need to. I don"t really do that, but if it helps you, then
go for it.

Also, nodding your head, tapping your foot or whatever to count the number of
beats before the "master" mutes the chords might help you.


Extra Tips for Perfect:
I think this one is one of the stirct ones where if you"re slightly off and a
superb would count it alright, the perfect will not. So, you just have to...

Karate Man..............................................................(G06-4)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In-game message:
"Who knew karate training could be so brutal? A punch will take care of most
things, but those bombs call for a solid kick!"


Personal description:
... If you do not know who this is, you have never played the original game and
I weep for you. This karate man is out in training in what appears to be a dark
snowy night. Funny, since the song is actually about rain, not snow, but
whatever. And you must tap the touch screen to make him punch away most things
that come his way. However, like the in-game message says, you have to kick
away the bombs, which start out in barrels. To kick, you much tap and hold to
ready the karate man. Then it"s a simple flick to kick. The barrel has an audio
cue of "Punch, Kick!" There"s also another audio cue which would be
"... hit 3!" which will send out 3 things in succession, to the beat of course.


Personal thoughts:
Man, I love this one, but at the same time, I hate it. I"m not sure why
either... Either way, it"s just so nice to see this guy return. And shame on
anyone who doesn"t know this guy. He pretty much the best character in this
entire game. Alright, not for everyone, but you know, he"s pretty cool.


Tips for Superb:
So, this one has a average tempo. Since I"m more of a speed kinda guy, I found
this to be kinda hard. Just make sure you tap a beat after a pot comes out,
since that"s the timing to hit it.

If you didn"t go through with the tutorial, I"ll tell you here. Pay attention
to what you"re hitting exactly. Pots are just normal, so nothing special.
Lightbulbs, however is the thing right before a barrel, A.K.A. a bomb, A.K.A.
get ready for a flick. If you"re relying only on hearing, due to closing your
eyes, you"ll here a much different sound then the pots make when you hit them
and when you"re went out. Pots make a "PSHEW!" kinda noise when they come out.
Lightbulbs make a "TONK!" kinda noise... Hey, stop laughing! I"m trying to help
here!

Here"s something for all you visual guys "n gals out there. If you look at the
shadows of each thing, when it gets a little bit past the karate man"s right
foot, tap then. If my description to hit is off, tell me and I"ll tweak this
part for the sake of not screwing over visual people.


Extra Tips for Perfect:
Little extra just in case you think you"ve screwed up. If you accidentally tap
at the wrong moment, like in between pots, it won"t count this as a mistake.
I"m not sure though, since it"s rarely ever happened to me, and I wasn"t really
paying attention to it if it was a perfect or not. So some confirmation would
be very nice.

In-game message:
"It"s time to mix things up! This one"s got a sort of spacey feel to it. (And
no practice for you!)


Personal description:
Well, I guess it does have a "spacey" feel to it... but it feels like this has
more of a ""80"s" feel to it. Since, you know, the karate man has a mullet,
Space Soccer guy has an afro, and so on. Other then that, just like every other
remix, the actual game parts play the same.


Personal thoughts:
Just like karate man, I love this one, but hate it as well. However, I actually
know why. It"s "cause of the transitions between some of the games. More on
that in the tips sections...

Since this one has 2 games that require constant tapping to the beat, I"ll put
a "..." if that"s all you need to do for it. And I"ll put down "S/OffB" or
"S/OnB" for the switches for Lockstep.

Tips on Superb:
Well, I"d say the same things I would for the past remixes, however! This one
actually has some parts that are very annoying and might make you go "wtf?!"
See, the transitions between Space Soccer and Lockstep are annoying. Why?
Simple, you can totally miss the first tap on Lockstep due to how close the
trasition is to the tap. So here"s how to solve it. Since Space Soccer can deal
with "as long as it hits" kinda thing, tap slightly later then you normally
would. And I really do mean slightly. This will solve you missing the first tap
on Lockstep and then you can go back to you normal tapping style. It doesn"t
help that this remix has a ton of those kinds of transitions though, so yeah...


Extra Tips for Perfect:
What else can I say other then that extremely helpful tip on that transition
there? Practice! Especially that tip I told you since it can be hard to do
that. That is, unless your timing is spot on...

"Airboarder"/Credits/Cast...............................................(CRDTG)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I told you the credits are here!

So, this game doesn"t exactly tell you how to play the first time though... So
I guess I will.

Also, this game is called Airboarder.

Personal description:
So, you"ve got a spiffy looking hoverboard, or an airboard, I guess it would be
called. You"re the last in a line of 3 airboarders. It"s simple. There are
stacked blocks and you have to duck and jump over them. Ducking is as simple as
tapping the screen. Jumping requires you to tap and hold. When you tap and hold
will always at high blocks first. Then when you get to low blocks, you have to
flick to jump over them. Careful though, don"t make them fall over.


Personal thoughts:
I love this song. It"s my favourite in the whole game, Love Lab"s song
following close behind. However the timing is a bit picky. Now, since this is
the credits, there will obviously be credit appearing.


Tips for Superb:
Well, there"s not much I can say to help. This one is kinda fast, so your
reflexes better be nice and honed now. If not, the first guy will usually go
"Tei!" then duck, giving you a 3 beats before you need to duck.


Extra Tips for Perfect:
Now, I"d love to say "Practice!" but in reality, this doesn"t actually count as
a normal game like the rest. This is just something for fun they added in. But,
something just tells me you should at least become decent at it... I"m not sure
why... just trust me on this though, alright?

So, now your Scroll Button has evolved into...! a better scroll button. Yeah,
that"s pretty much it. If you"ve noitced, there are now 4 more columns for you
to play in, meaning more games! Too bad they"re only harder versions of
previous games. Still, some will prove to be challenging, so don"t think this
will be an absolutly cake walk compared to when you first started out. There"s
a reason why I called them a harder version. Also, this should go without

In-game message:
"Whatever these things are, people want "em! We need to up our production! (And

Personal description:
So, this is the harder version of Built to Scale. Appropriate, don"t you think?
The first game is now the first hard version. Verything is the same, unless you
take into the account of colours and some of the timing. This being that Built
to Scale 2 has more faster plates of metal, sometimes, it almost seems random!
And with no practice, you"ll just have to rely on you reflexes. Well, other
then that, nothing else has changed.


Persona thoughts
I like this one more because it serves more of a challenge to me. Also, faster
things seem easier for me, for the most part.


Tips for Superb:
Can"t say much else, since this one is pretty much the same, bar the faster
metal plates. You"ll be flicking a lot more in this one then in the first one,
so don"t go all crazy about it.

Also note that the dark part won"t be the spotlight anymore. I will go dark,
but after a single, fast metal plate comes by, the lights will turn back on so
for all those visual people, you should be happy.
