Prerelease Info

Bugs

English Translation Changes "It's paradise since the first time I saw you in Europe."

Unused Graphics Clean up your spritesheets, Nintendo.

Unused Music

CLICK_TEST_L

What the filename says. Likely used as an audio sampling test.

Leftover/placeholders

Megamix has a few leftover/placeholder songs from Rhythm Heaven Fever.

Remix10_in44k_out44k_56kbps

This is the Japanese version of Fever's Remix 10 found in the sound files. It was most likely used for placeholder or sound testing purposes. It's worth noting that the Hz of the audio file is 44100, while all the other files are 32000 Hz.

kidouchu_32k_1219.dspadpcm

This one is the original Title Screen from Rhythm Heaven Fever. "Kidouchu" means "during start-up".

Turnip Fever

There is an unused Turnip Fever track from the Goat Feeding game.

GROUP_WSD_YAGI_GOLD_3

The song adds an additional 20 seconds to the extended Turnip Fever theme played in-game. The additional 20 seconds are a higher pitched version of the normal turnip fever track.

Other Empty Music Files
There are empty files labelled "GROUP_WSD_O_FEN_AR" (Built to Scale 2 Wii) and "GROUP_WSD_KANTORING_SHORT" (a prequel for Flockstep). These songs are BCGRP files, but music is usually stored in .aac files.

Unused Practice Themes

There are some unused practice themes for some of the Rhythm Games that go unused.

GROUP_WSD_TUTORIAL_AGB_SHIROI_OBAKE

Intended for Sneaky Spirits 2, but it goes unused as this game has no practice session for it.

GROUP_WSD_TUTORIAL_NTR_ROBOT_SHORT

Intended for Fillbots 2. Interestingly, it shares the filename with the used practice theme (GROUP_WSD_TUTORIAL_NTR_ROBBOT_SHORT) except spelled correctly. There's also another file labeled "GROUP_WSD_TUTORIAL_NTR_ROBOT" which is empty.

Empty Practice Themes
Interestingly, there are empty files that would contain the practice themes for Karate Man Returns, The Clappy Trio 2, and Shoot-'em-up 2 present in the files.

Unused Cues

To do: Tons of leftovers from previous games (including Fever's 2-Player mode) as well as new unused cues.

Micro-Row 3

Micro-Row 2 from Rhythm Heaven Fever has multiple leftovers, including the double-step cue!

Whistle Sound

2-Hit Cue

Fillbots 3

Fillbots 2 from Rhythm Heaven has much less leftovers, but the cue for the small fillbots still remains.

Remix 8 GBA

Remix 8 from Rhythm Tengoku has a few leftovers, as well as the cover cues in Rhythm Tweezers!

Cover Cue

The complete cover is a leftover from Remix 8, while the left and right covers are unique to Megamix.

Build Date

Present only in the Japanese ROM and its Download Play Child ROM in the files called builddate.txt:

Main ROM	DLP Child ROM
201504231308	201504231306

Debug Menu

The file debug_menu.msbt in message\pajama.zlib\arc has text for a debug menu which hints at some content not in the final game. Even though the file is still present in the international releases, all text has been dummied out from these versions.

Regional Differences

To do: More differences. (ex. Many other title cards in the English version of the game are more simplistic compared to the more artistic title cards in the Japanese version)

Title Screen

Japanese Version	American Version	European Version	Korean Version

Other than the usual changing from Rhythm Heaven to Rhythm Paradise, the European logo uses a different, fatter logo.

Language Toggle

The International versions of this game have a toggle to switch between the English and Japanese voice samples and the respective versions of the songs that have lyrics (the European version adds in French, German, Italian, and Spanish languages). The Japanese version of the game lacks this. Interestingly, this changes only the audio.

Fruit Basket Machine Remix

In the American, European and Korean releases, the garage door from the Machine Remix was replaced with (presumably) a drawing of Mr. Chicken from Charging Chicken with his car.

Japanese Version	International Versions

The text on the Japanese garage door (ノリ✚第一) translates to "Flow First", a play on the typical Japanese 安全✚第一 "Safety First" sign.

Packing Pests

In the American and European releases, the Bonus Cash from Packing Pests has a dollar symbol on it. This change is reflected on the Rhythm Item as well.

Japanese Version	American/European Version

The title card appears differently between regions. In the Japanese version, it uses the Fever style font which appears on the billboard while the American and European version, it uses the different fonts used for the game and it no longer appears on the billboard but down below the screen and the billboard has three dots with a sweet sign on it.

Japanese Version	American/European Version

Quiz Show

The sign above the two players is different between regions. The Japanese version has the word "Quiz" on it, while the American, European and Korean versions replace it with the host's face and two musical notes.

Japanese Version	International Versions

Freeze Frame

The Japanese and Korean version of Freeze Frame have shape symbols representing how well the player took the photo. In the American and European versions, the shapes were replaced with thumb gestures in different positions.

Interestingly enough, only the European version of Rhythm Heaven had the thumb gestures instead of the shapes.

Japanese/Korean Version	American/European Version

Fillbots

The Fillbots intro text appears differently between regions. In the Japanese version, the text is typed out, while in the European and American versions, the text flashes into existence.

Japanese Version	American Version

Trey

In the Japanese version, Trey has no visible nose and large pink lips. In the American, European and Korean versions, his lips were removed and he was given a small pink nose to avoid looking like a racial stereotype. His Mascot also reflected this change.

Japanese Version	International Versions

Japanese Version	International Versions

(American Sprite Source: larsenv)

Getting Vocal 2

The orders of three minigames are completely changed in the American, European and Korean versions of this Challenge Course. Honeybee Remix is the third game in the order in the Japanese version, and being the last game in the International versions, and Airboarder and Frog Hop replace Lush and Machine Remix respectively because those remixes don't have lyrics in their respective language in the American, European and Korean versions, as their songs were replaced with instrumental versions. Also, the coin in the Challenge Charge is on the left in the Japanese version, and on the right in the International versions.

Japanese Version	American/European/Korean Version

Karate Man Combos!

The title card appears differently between regions. In the Japanese version, it uses the Fever style fonts while the American and European version, it uses the fonts used for the other Karate Man games and includes added background details.

Japanese Version	American/European Version

Like in Rhythm Heaven Fever, the song in this game is titled "Kanashimi no Squall" ("Squall of Sorrow") in the Japanese version, and "Lonely Storm" in the International versions. Also, the song is pitched slightly lower than the Japanese variant in the International versions.

Japanese	International

Bossa Nova

The original Japanese SFX from Fever is only available in the European version of the game. The Japanese and Korean versions uses the English dub of this minigame, and trying to switch to Japanese SFX in the American and Korean versions will make no effect.

This was apparently done because of the original sounds being too riské (No explanations here. Listen for yourself).

Ninja Bodyguard

In the Korean version, the title screen is different along with the rating screens, ninjas, the castles, the face on the practice wooden decoy and the lord.

Korean Version	International Versions

Korean Version	International Versions

Screwbot Factory

Screwbot Factory's Japanese title in was changed to Robot Factory: Screw (Japanese: ロボット工場ネジ) due to the Fillbots being included in this game. The title in other languages also has changed with "screw", except for the Spanish version which keeps the same name like in Rhythm Heaven Fever.

Honeybee Remix

In the Fillbots segments, the Japanese version of the Honeybee Remix uses the Fillbots 1 sound effect for the robot being successfully filled, and every other version uses the Fillbots 2 sound effect.

Japanese Version	American/European/Korean Version

Night Walk

In the international releases, the text has an "X" mark when the player barely jumps a box making a little flower heart, lollipop and umbrella grow.

Built to Scale

The title card appears differently between regions. In the Japanese version, it uses the Kanji as they move around to combine the name of the game while the American and European version, it uses the Widgets as they move around to assemble together while the name of the game shows up. The background is also darker.

Japanese Version	American/European Version

Catch of the Day

The title card appears differently between regions. In the Japanese version, it uses the Fever style fonts and the background is brighter while the American and European version, it uses the different fonts for the game and the background appears to be darker.

Japanese Version	American/European Version

Airboarder

The song used here ("That's Paradise") is pitched slightly lower than the Japanese variant in the International versions.

Japanese	English	French	German	Italian	Spanish

Fan Club 2

The song used in this game is named "ドキッ!こういうのが恋なの?" ("Doki! Kouiu no ga Koi na no?") in the Japanese version and "Thrilling! Is this Love?" in the International versions. Like Airboarder and Karate Man Combos!, the song is pitched slightly lower than the Japanese variant in the International versions.

Japanese	English	French	German	Italian	Spanish

Lush Remix, Machine Remix & Staff Credits

The songs for Lush Remix, Machine Remix, and the game's second Staff Credits; "Tokimeki no Monogatari", "For That One Big Tear", and "Classmate" were given instrumental versions for the International versions of the game, as there are no lyrics for these three songs in their respective languages.

Lush Remix	Japan	International
Machine Remix	Japan	International
2nd Staff Credits	Japan	International

Super Samurai Slice & Super Samurai Slice 2

Korean Version	International Versions

Korean Version	International Versions

• In the Korean version of the game, the Samurai, and the women wear Korean clothes instead of their Japanese ones. This is also present in it's sequel.
• The final piece of architecture seen at the end of Super Samurai Slice 2 had also been changed to better match the region.
