Unused/Early Rhythm Games

To do: Update Youtube videos.

Found in Rhythm Tengoku is data for several unused Rhythm Games, ranging from early versions of existing games to completely scrapped games. In order to access these games, go to 0x089CFECC and replace the first four bytes with whatever is listed, then load Karate Man.

The Snappy Trio

C8FF9C08

What seems to be an early version of The Snappy Trio. Aside from there being no music, the main game itself is largely different, with their most notably being no "simultaneous clap" near the end, and a generally easier difficulty.

Boucy Road

FC0A9D08

An unused version of Bouncy Road that resembles the practice section of the used game. This game is set at a slower tempo than the actual Bouncy Road, has no music, an instead uses the street ambience found in the practice for the used Bouncy Road. A singular ball bouncing at half-note steps first appears, followed by two balls of the same type, then three. A ball bouncing at quarter-note steps then appears, followed by nine quarter-note balls, an amount that occurs in neither Bouncy Road nor its sequel.

E40B9D08

Another unused version of Bouncy Road. This version starts of with a ball bouncing at quarter-note steps, followed by both one bouncing at half-note steps and another one bouncing at quarter-note steps, similar to the way balls bouncing at different speed occurs in Bouncy Road 2. Three balls bouncing at eigth-note steps appear, followed by 6 quarter-note balls and a half-note ball. Two sixteenth-note balls then zoom by, which, again, have no equivalence in either Bouncy Road or its sequel.

Spaceball 2

0C169D08

An early version of Spaceball 2. This version starts with a practice similar to the first game, where it only starts when you hit four balls successfully. After this, Game Select B's music begins to play as the game progresses normally, with a fairly standard set of cues given to the player. The reason why it is Game Select B's music that specifically plays is because internally, Game Select B is called s_shibafu2_bgm, whereas the music for Spaceball is called s_shibafu1_bgm. Near the end of the game, the music begins to speed up and the pot starts launching stars at the batter, making use of an otherwise unused cue. The camera zooms out on the final launch of a rice ball, and the game ends.

00179D08

Another early version of Spaceball 2. This version takes a little longer to play the song, and fades it in rather than just starting it. A kick drum sound effect accompanies the first few parts of the song, likely to help with timing the offbeat balls that now make up a majority of the game. Aside from these differences, the game functions identically to the previous one.

Horse Machine

641D9D08

Standard Horse Machine, except with one key difference. After you complete the fourth lesson, the game ends and it takes you to the early results screen. This and the fact that Horse Machine is listed next to other Rhythm Games in the debug menu implies that Horse Machine was originally a Rhythm Game.

Marching Orders

341F9D08

An unused version of Marching Orders 2 that uses the originals graphics and sound effects.

Tap Trial

DC199D08

An early version of Tap Trial, including a skippable tutorial. The game itself utilizes an unused version of Tap Trial where the version is randomized each time the game loads, meaning you may sometimes be playing with Remix 5's graphics and so on. At 1:57, a section containing tons of double tap cues is present that doesn't have any equivalent in either Tap Trial or Tap Trial 2. Curiously, the "kiiii" sound effect from the triple tap cue doesn't play at all. At the last section, the Karate Man jingle plays 5 times.

Rap Women

5C649D08

This unused variant of Rap Women can be found on Page 6 of the Debug Menu, labeled as ラップウィメン(by KAZU), with the other option, labelled as "by YONE", being the version used in-game. This version is likely named after Kazuyoshi Osawa, the Chief Director of Rhythm Tengoku; similarly to how the used "YONE" version is named after Masami Yone, who was the game's Sound Director.

The audio cues in this version are placed differently than that of the used version, most of which being on offbeats. It was likely changed to make the song flow better with the lines from the characters, however this has yet to be proven true.

Remix 1 (Dance Lesson 1)

98259D08

Located on page 8 of the Debug Menu, labeled as ダンスレッスン1 (Dance Lesson 1), is an early version of Remix 1! This version of Remix 1 is a minute longer than the final, using unused portions of Remix 1's music (with a few parts of it being reused in Remix 7). The most interesting thing to note is that Rhythm Tweezers is absent in this version and has been replaced by Tap Trial! This implies that it was either originally in Stage 1 but was then moved to Stage 5 later in development.

It's named "Dance Lesson 1" after the dance lessons the development team had to take during the game's development, as recommended by Tsunku♂.

Drum Girls Live!

CC2E9D08

In the Debug Menu, there is an unused version of Drum Girls, where they play the song Bunny Hop. This version is the only time that a Drum Girls minigame is seen to use this sprite, which appears at the bottom of the screen during small segments of the song without any music:

It is also the only known minigame in Rhythm Tengoku to utilize an earlier version of the Ratings Screen without crashing the game. There are other minigames in the Debug Menu that seem to try to use this same screen, but they result in a crash.

Metronome

74289D08

...But does it make sense? The translations on this page need to be proofread. If you are fluent enough in this language, please make any corrections necessary!

An unused Rhythm Test that can also be found in the game's Debug Menu. The game is very similar to the Endless Game Mr. Upbeat (and uses the same tileset), and the player must press A in time with the needle passing the bird at the top of the screen. The counter at the top right then starts counting down from 30, and the player continues to press A until the counter runs out. Once the counter reaches 0, the player is taken to the Rhythm Test results screen and is shown their score, which will be different based on how many successful hits the player got in the game.

Metronome was likely an early incarnation of Mr. Upbeat, as the two games play almost identically, with the only major gameplay difference being that Mr. Upbeat is endless. Interestingly, however, Metronome has a different set of text from Mr. Upbeat:

Japanese	Translation
音にあわせて、Aボタンを押しましょう。	Press the A button in time with the sound.
計測中	Measuring...
計測おわり! さて、結果は…	Measuring finished! Okay, your rhythm is...

The minigame also uses a slight variation of the beeping sounds that play during the Rhythm Test. The sounds are mostly the same, but the 3 beeps before the end, as well as the ending chime, are a slightly different pitch. The bird sound effect is unique to this unused Rhythm Test, however.

Tanooki & Monkey

F4369D08

An unused Rhythm Game where you control a monkey-like drummer, who's tasked to copy the patterns that are played by Monkey and Tanooki. The game controls the same as the Drum Lessons from the final game, but only A, Right, and Down are used on the patterns. The player is given three attempts at completion for each pattern. Upon completing the game, the player is taken to the Rhythm Test result screen. Upon losing the game, however, the player is taken to the Ratings Screen. It doesn't go much farther than that, though, as the game crashes shortly after.

Tanooki & Monkey also has text to go along with it!

くっ、てごわい！！ こうなったら とっておきのやつだ！	Heh, you're pretty good! Looks like it's time for our trump card!

If the player wins:

If the player fails a pattern:

If the player loses:

Japanese	Translation
