There are three different outcomes of success/failure that are conveyed by the rating assigned to your performance after the minigame. While the player taps in time with the rhythm, he is rewarded with visual and auditory cues (characters being happy, cheering, singing, etc.) that maintain the song's flow. Second, while the visuals sometimes distract or mess with the player - in reality, they merely obstruct or warp the view on visual information that is rendered superfluous by the strong beat - they can be helpful to remind oneself of incoming shifts in rhythm, and they are of course crucial for early playthroughs of new songs.
First of all, the games feature a very unique and iconic artstyle that is simply a delight to look at. That is not to say that advanced players look away from the screen, however.
Once the melody and rhythm are internalised, the visuals are not necessary to perform well. Sounds easy, right? In fact, Rhythm Tengoku games have the curious characteristic of being playable without looking at the screen. All the player has to do is press a button in line with the song's rhythm. From the clean (but infinitely expressive) visual style to the gameplay itself, the concept of the game is easy to grasp.
The Rhythm Tengoku games are the epitome of simplicity. However, whereas WarioWare keeps things frantic and out-of-control with its bite-sized 'Microgames' that alternate in rapid succession, the player in 'Rhythm Tengoku' only has to focus on one minigame at a time. They feature a bright and quirky cast of characters (both series share the involvement of the brilliant artist, Ko Takeuchi) as well as having a similar structure. The Rhythm Tengoku games have often been compared to WarioWare. Before we get into information about specific games - the series currently spans four titles on four different Nintendo systems - and other fun things, let's talk a bit about the gameplay in these games, shall we? Welcome to the Rhythm Tengoku/Rhythm Heaven/Rhythm Paradise Community Thread! This thread is dedicated to the Nintendo SPD-developed series titled Rhythm Tengoku in Japan. ~Now Playing: Rhythm Tengoku - Tutorial Theme 01~
