This is a sub-page of Rhythm Heaven.

This cactus is UNDER CONSTRUCTION
This article is a work in progress.
...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.
Hmmm...
To do:
  • There's still some more to be added.
  • Make sure to add all of the variation's animations unless they are broken.

A rhythm game will store all of its animations in .NANR (Nitro ANimation Resource) files, and each rhythm game is typically stored internally as "versions" (Glee Club = Ver0, Glee Club 2 = Ver1, etc.). So for future reference, animations will be shown in their version order.

Touch Screen

Animation Name Animation Description
Ball RhythmHeaven-TouchScreenMesh-Test.gif
A simplistic ball object, likely used as a placeholder for when you touch the screen.

Opening

Animation Name Animation Description
master_loop RhythmHeaven-Opening-OddThumbsUp.gif An animation of the bandleader giving an odd face before doing his thumbs up gesture. He only gives a thumbs up at the end of the credits, and at no point does he make that face, so this goes unused.
master11 RhythmHeaven-Opening-EarlyFrogMaster.gif A very different looking design for the bandleader. As such, this was probably just a placeholder until a design was finalized.

Practice Flicking

Animation Name Animation Description
car_run RhythmHeaven-PracticeFlicking-Car-Run.gif An unused fast car type. Most likely removed for being too challenging for what is supposed to be a tutorial.

Drummer Duel

Animation Name Animation Description
EC_miss RhythmHeaven-DrummerDuel-EC-Miss.gif A miss effect for the computer, despite it never missing. This could just be a case of the developers being too thorough with creating graphics, instead of anything game changing.

Splashdown

Animation Name Animation Description
swimmer_ready RhythmHeaven-Splashdown-Swimmer-Ready.png While this is used, the lower half is never seen, due to it being submerged underwater.
swimmer_show00 RhythmHeaven-Splashdown-Swimmer-Show00.gif While this animation is used, the lower half is never seen, due to it being submerged underwater.
swimmer_show00_miss RhythmHeaven-Splashdown-Swimmer-Show00-Miss.gif While this animation is also used, the lower half is never seen, due to it being submerged underwater.
swimmer_show01 RhythmHeaven-Splashdown-Swimmer-Show01.gif Again, while this animation is used, the lower half is never seen, due to it being submerged underwater.
swimmer_show02 RhythmHeaven-Splashdown-Swimmer-Show02.gif Again, while this animation is used, the lower half is never seen, due to it being submerged underwater.
swimmer_show03 Looks like they actually cut off the sprite this time. This animation and the next one, however, are completely unused. This was meant to be the Synchrettes' third animation for coming out of the water, but they never use it.
swimmer_show03_miss RhythmHeaven-Splashdown-Swimmer-Show03-Miss.gif A miss version of the above animation.
swimmer_jump00 RhythmHeaven-Splashdown-Swimmer-Jump00.gif While this animation is used, it is near impossible to see due to the first frame only being shown for a single frame (0.016 seconds) before never being seen again. To add insult to injury, the first frame is almost completely submerged in water, making it that much harder to see.
swimmer_jump01 RhythmHeaven-Splashdown-Swimmer-Jump01.gif Again, while this animation is used, it is near impossible to see normally due to the first frame of it only showing for a single frame.
CellAnime0 RhythmHeaven-Splashdown-Swimmer-Show00.gif Test animation identical to swimmer_show00.

Big Rock Finish

Animation Name Animation Description
G_talk00 RhythmHeavenDS-GTalk00.gif One of two animations for Boo-boo talking.
G_talk01 RhythmHeavenDS-GTalk01.gif The second animation of Boo-boo talking. These animations either could've been intended for his "Thank you" line at the end of the big rock finishes, or for the practice mode as the count-ins.
B_return RhythmHeaven-BigRockFinish-B-Return.gif This animation is Boo-boo's version of the animation used when the player lets go of the touch screen. Only problem is, the CPU doesn't use the touch screen. This is likely the result of the developers overcompensating, like with Drummer Duel.
D_ready So, how exactly does he use the kick drum? While this animation is used, Spooky's lower half is always covered by the drums, obscuring his ghostly-ghost tail.
D_beat RhythmHeaven-BigRockFinish-D-Beat.gif Like the previous animation, his lower half is always obscured by the drums.

test_players RhythmHeaven-BigRockFinish-Test-Players.gif A test animation of Ecto's beat animation. Despite this animation's name being "test_players", there's only one ghost here.
D_shot00 RhythmHeaven-BigRockFinish-D-Shot00.png A still frame of Spooky's arm with a drum stick in his hand.
D_shot01 RhythmHeaven-BigRockFinish-D-Shot00.png Duplicate of "D_shot00". Something to note is that the animation name uses the same naming scheme as Ecto's and Boo-boo's animation for strumming on the guitar (B_shot00, G_shot00, etc.).
