On an interesting note, it is one of the few rhythm games to actually be about 'rhythm' and not just rapid timing. Half Rhythm Game, half Widget Series, Rhythm Heaven is a definite qualifier for one of the best mini-game collections available for the DS. Piloting a rocket powered by anthropomorphic tuning forks across a surreal landscape of flowers and pink cloudsĪnd that's just the tip of the iceberg.Controlling a member of a quartet of dancing shrimp.Shaking and tossing flasks to create hearts in a laboratory devoted to studying the science of love.Stomping around a garden to pluck beets from the ground.Helping a rabbit jump across whales and turtles to reach the moon.Hitting baseballs expelled by a flowerpot while floating in space.The mini-games themselves are exactly what one would expect from the team responsible for Wario Ware: quirky, bizarre and generally addictive. Completing the Remix unlocks the next set. After completing a set of games, the player is challenged to a Remix game that includes each game of the set. Doing so nets a Perfect rating, which unlocks bonus information on the mini-game or adds another song to the sound test.

Sometimes the game challenges the player to complete a mini-game flawlessly. A Superb rating awards the player with a medal collecting these allows bonus features such as endless mini-games to be unlocked.

If a player gets a Try Again rating, they can't progress to the next mini-game until they can get one of the higher ratings. Upon completion of each mini-game, the player's performance is evaluated and given a ranking: Try Again, OK or Superb. 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 Japan) would receive an overseas release to a positive reception. 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. Rhythm Heaven, known in Japan as Rhythm Tengoku and as Rhythm Paradise in Europe, can best be described as Wario Ware meets Elite Beat Agents.
