Rhythm Heaven - Lockstep

[spazzkomo458]

This level was nearly impossible for me cause I kept getting distracted by the flashiness. I finally just had to force myself to only look at the side my stylus tapped on and I finally got it.

[DaVince21]

This level wasn't particularly hard to me. Now, table tennis, THERE you have a challenge. Or remix 10.

Then again, all of the games become easy once you've played them way too much (like I have).

[StargirlzProuctions]

TIP: tap to the guy grunting to help with the transition. Seriously, that's how I managed to actually Clear this stage.

[KnucklesARouge]

@StargirlzProuctions

True. I always do it without noticing and I have easily achieved Perfects on Lockstep 1 and 2

[thegamefreak0134]

I actually got a perfect on this. *so lucky*

This is my favorite minigame of Rhythm Paradise!

[SirZippety56]

hey hey hey hup-ho! ho ho ho ho...

ho ho hey hey hey hey...

[Lucasa9Poke]

i dunno but i think the screen really distracts me and the emulator lags

[littlbigtree]

@Lucasa9Poke Well then try playing it ON A DS the PLATFORM IT WAS MADE FOR.

[PocketMonstersoul]

@rowtow13 EXACTLY!

[rowtow13]

I find this level easier if you don't look at the screen.

[gentleuterus]

Love this game. I could clear it with my eyes closed!

[Mapleopian]

took me forever to get perfect

[MushroomBoy64]

I would be laughing to this if Captain Falcon did this. XD

[ShadowPokeLord]

:D *dances with music* people in black n white listen with your headphones not your ears!!!

[shistitsstorm]

Hai hai hai Aha! OH! Oh! oh... mm ha mm ha HAI!

[Mematman15]

How come when I play this, it feels like the offbeat is faster?

[msh11201996]

@Mematman15 I dunno, but it's easier for me too...

[du0lol]

@Mematman15 try to keep on beat when the game tells you to go offbeat, and you'll see it's the same speed :D

but yes, there is the sensation. perhaps something to the instruments.

[Mematman15]

@du0lol thank you

[Simon0]

i like how the music starts quite light hearted, then gets really epic at 0:54 - 1:15

[CaptainKrackers]

I like the beginning when they're bobbing their heads up and down :D

[pikminfan1998]

I find it funny how Lockstep 2 is the one with the slower tempo. You'd expect it would be the other way around.

[Simon0]

i had trouble with this. then tried it with my eyes closed which made it easier. when i could do it eyes closed i opened my eyes again and now can do it easily with eyes open. this is such an awesome and inventive level. brilliant.

havent reached lockstep 2 yet so dont know about that one.

[machiner6]

@Simon0 looking at the visuals made me dizzy and distracted. My key for switching rhythms was to tap twice as fast at the cue. "tap, tap, tap, tap-tap. "

[HMintify]

play this without looking and you will do much better. The visuals are purposefully distracting. ;)

[superior152]

it took me like 50 times to master this!!!!!

[PPKit]

this particular level is hard to learn, and easy to master

its so odd

[gardonasta]

HAI HAI HAI UHAA! UHA UHA.

[hypermarioo]

Yeah do it with your eyes closed

[n00bz00rd]

@hypermarioo I got a perfect on Lockstep 2 with my eyes closed.

Insanely easy once you get the hang of it :P

[thegamefreak0134]

@n00bz00rd It's much, much *easier* with your eyes closed. Far less distracting. ^_^

[daker49]

@n00bz00rd

It's always easier when you got the hang of it!

[TheToto450]

hii!

[11maplefreak11]

the point of this entire game is to follow the beat...

this one specifically uber-izes the foot tap and head nod

close your eyes and just believeeeee

[tgirlk421]

The only way to beat this, is with your eyes closed. Srsly. The animations distract. Especially when zoomed out.

[WumWip]

Thank you SOOOOO much!!!!!!!!!

[Supergirl4210]

Must tap foot to get this shit down lol

[DarkLordOfHats]

Hup hup hup Ha HAA

[DarkLordOfHats]

hip hup hip hup

[orel1996]

Now I feel like playing this game again~

[Amyntheri]

YOU WANT TO GET A PERFECT ON THIS STAGE THAT'S HARD AS BALLS?

YEAH, THAT'S COOL, FIRST LET ME JUST RANDOMLY CHOOSE IT EVERY NOW AND THEN

OH, YOU FUCKED UP THREE TIMES? TOO BAD MAN. AH WELL, DON'T WORRY, YOU'LL GET YOUR CHANCE AGAIN IN A COUPLE WEEKS

[andre92u]

What do you all mean? This level is so easy

[CinnamonWithATwist]

I can change into the backbeats really easily, it's the regular beats that I have problems with...

[CDub7888]

Lockstep is pretty much the most basic of basics when it comes to determining if a person can understand most, if not all, layers of rhythm. And that's why it's so awesome.

[kowalskifrog]

I hate the backbeat parts, the first one is easy but the rest are impossible for me.

[Biolizard4000]

I found myself tapping my foot to the beat and changing to the backbeat automatically.

[lucyseptembear8]

it sounds like the music in mario kart when you play rainbow road XD

[VeemonZ2]

i love this level, i unlock this in the Radio

[beatproducerken]

in the beginning i thought...

This lv is impossible!!!!

but now its my favourite one :D!

I Love It!

[ShaenaWright]

@beatproducerken ik me too!!

[SoIHerdYaLiekAnime]

I got a perfect on this with my eyes closed, just because it's harder with your eyes open.

THOSE LITTLE GUYS MESSED WITH MY HEAD AAAAAAAUGH

[AuntMinty]

Every time I play this, when the game's over, I still see the little guys moving in front of my face... Is that bad, should I be worried?

[Dolphin3007]

Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey! Ha-Ha! Hu! Hu! Hu! Hu!

[QuintaFeira12]

uh uh hua hua HEY hey hey...

[TheNeoJer]

I can do this one without looking :D

[911Goofy]

Kinda sounds like Mario party music. However this is from wario ware or similar...

[Lumachu]

it WAS hard for me but I have a perfect on it now. The song is awesome!

[shiftry880913]

hey hey hey aja hum humm hum hey ajam hey hey!!!

[Racoonmaster]

It would be funny if they said Heil instead of hey and the big face was Hitler xDDD

[Stepmaniac27]

I won on my first time.

Maybe it'a because I'm left-handed. O_o

[meefgal]

NO WAY!!! I'm a lefty too and this was one of the easiest mini games!

[Racoonmaster]

YES! Finally, someone who thinks this one is easy!

[meefgal]

@Racoonmaster I know! You're telling me!

[Racoonmaster]

Yeah! It's just the same thing over and over again!! Pretty good song though.....

[meefgal]

@Racoonmaster yeah, it rocks! It reminds me of a party for Chibis!

[Racoonmaster]

Yeah :D I Love it :3 ^_^

[johnnyAFIRE]

@Stepmaniac27 im right handed and it took me 16 tries to beat it weird enough 16 is my lucky number :D

[Botakboy96]

Some advice that worked for me: move your other limbs (leg, other hand etc) to the people moving on white spots. That way when the black time comes, it's just a half beat of the white one! Just remember to still beat on white though. May seem confusing but it works!

[StarRocks4life]

i NEVER look at the screen when i play lockstep it makes me nervous and dizzy

[wee1owen12]

this is one of my faves but it does give me a headache if i actually look at them so i don't but i sorta found a bit hard but now its easy.

[TheAwesomeOne1ooo]

really hard the first few times.

and the shifiting of the distance was really... yeah.

[Groudonmaster687]

It sound a bit like Super Mario Galaxy...

[Dopplechu]

I really didn't find Lockstep hard. I actually found it rather easy. Once I knew what the transitions are like I burned through this stage.

[stickmeister0]

My EYES! The shifts really burned them. Agh.

[yosh617]

the people once gave me a headache.....alot of shifts

[ChiChoo29]

Yeah, Lockstep is impossible to do your first time, not like built-to-scale, where I managed a Superb on my first try. I love this song now that I got the hang of it.

[Nyoronoru]

Closing your eyes helps tremendously. Got a perfect on it last week.

[sparkles9001]

not necessarily. I'm in band and now I can master this song with my eyes open watching every zoom-in and zoom-out. It gets a little confusing but every since the day I was... nvm but I always hit the Superb Rating. Never failed yet!!

[Freyatheawesomecat]

This is an awesome level! It's a bitch to play though! I love it when those little guys march and make the pictures of the guys in wigs!

[KirstenChocolate]

I hated this one so much when I first played it! But now I love it to bits! XD

Here's a funny story: I was playing Rhythm Heaven with my sister and a friend watching me, when the chance for a perfect appeared.

I played the entirety of Lockstep perfectly for the very first time with them watching.

And afterward, I was all: "Thanks for helping me get a perfect." It was being put under pressure like that that helped.

[xXDynamosXx]

lol took me a bit to get the hang of it but it's easy now. also was my first perfect :D

[RWYSWIM729]

This is actually pretty easy, but it's so fast, it makes me only used to semi-fast speed, which screws me in LockStep 2.

[sparkles9001]

LockStep2 is easier than LockStep. The only reason it SEEMS hard is because the Transitions are swifter and take a little more time to switch. But the music on both are addicting!

[BrawlFanMario]

This is one of my favourite levels in Rhythm Heaven! I don't know why though...

[PrincessPocky]

hardest level ever. seriously. but i EVENTUALLY got it... after like an hour of playing....

[sparkles9001]

Thank you! Its easy when you practice it. Its rediculous when grown adults are on here crying when they cant do a transition correctly.

[DarkNintendo100]

when i played this level i got flustered.

But then i realised that i had to tap twice to go to offbeat and took me about 96 times to figure this out

[uberzeldamaster]

It was so hard for me to play this originally... so hard, in fact, that I suffered extreme depression issues and wanted to give myself a concussion. xD

[sparkles9001]

wow get a therapist. its just a game that was made to improve your sense of rhythm.

[XhiphopkittyX]

I cant play this! This is my tenth time playing this & I cant get it! I had to use a skip.

[KirstenChocolate]

One thing that helped me was tapping more lightly, especially on the transitions. It helped me go faster.

[XhiphopkittyX]

:D I have FINALLY mastered Lockstep. I don't know why I found it so hard when all you have to do is tap twice on the transitions. Thanks everyone!

[farfansilluo]

SO ADDICTIVE

[aGame284]

this kinda reminds me of super mario galaxy

[Goltana]

Kirby music . . .

[xXxTwilightWolfiexXx]

I can't do this, I honestly can't do it, it's so damn hard

[blasianonna]

it's pretty hard the first few times, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy... like space soccer

[hel000000]

take your time, and learn the trick!

after a while you will be tapping off beat with every song u hear ^^

[Highstar25]

HUP HUP HUP A-HOY!

[KirstenChocolate]

Nope.

[Timic83amv]

BEST LEVEL EVER MADE

ever

in history

[iStar125]

this is my opinion, but it kinda sounds like workout music at 1:03

[TheRihanna092]

hey hey hey im hard hard...hahahaha LOL xD

[ChibiRobo13]

I always laugh at the faces too much and lose concentration xD

[jarc24]

Thats what she said.

[Tokyomewmew626]

WTF

[PKrockin]

Hut! Hut! Hut! Ah-HA!

[gavandedub]

This game can have some unusual effects on you once you play alot of it. Everytime I hear a catchy tune, I have the urge to the tap the nearest wall or table to the beat. That can't be good. O_o

[KirstenChocolate]

I'm sure that's happened to EVERYONE who's played this game (including myself)! XD

[KimiTazi]

i love tht game

[Amperschwa]

wake up

SLAP

[Arcanine3831]

Hai Hai hah hoi -slap slap slap- -_- love the music the game doesn't like me though.

[LuffyDumpkins]

It reminds me of something from Pokemon almost. XD

[Toadsworthowns]

This was (and is) my favorite rhythm heaven game! It's so addicting!

[ContraCoreMk4]

Mha!Mha!HEI!

HupHupHup HmHAA!

[Jurliquex]

i love this part of the game. ITS SO EASY. you do not need to look at the visual, its there to confuse you. just listen to the song. there's the indicator when its going to change to off-beat.

[KFreezeSpot]

Sounds like something out of Kirby. Like this would be playing in Green Greens instead of the original song. And the other sounds like something out of Mother/EarthBound. Notice that?

[NintendoGamer120]

i get dizzy sometimes when it gets small..........Trust me, you might have to get this one skipped

[ButterPacket]

it hurts my eyes when I watch and play during this music, cuz the camera keeps moving back and forth with many other lockstep people doing it with me.

[Elaboracy]

That's what it sounds like to me.

[Elaboracy]

I can actually tell when the "Hai!", "Hai, hai, a hao hai!", and "Hee hah, hee hah, hai!" come somehow.

[Elaboracy]

I also tap my feet as if actually playing the game. Right foot for onbeat, left for offbeat. That's how addicting this game is to me.

[zoxxzy]

There are cues in the music for when it switches from the on-beat to the off-beat and back, not that surprising you would be able to pick up on it without the actual spoken cue that's there when you play.

[Elaboracy]

Eh. I do the cue myself.

[Onepiecefan89]

this is the hardest stage in the game,IMO.

[estooz123]

i actually thought it was pretty easy :P

[ShiMeiWo]

慣れないうちは、オモテを右手、ウラを左手で叩いてみよう。意外­と簡単にできるはずだ。

でもやはり、片手でオモテとウラを切り替えてゆく快感は最高。

[Krnxmatt7]

Lockstep is so much easier when you do not look at the screen. Trust me.

[SmashFiles]

i know, right? I got the perfect with my eyes closed, cuz it messed me up when i watched it.

[culuspeedy]

hai hai hai ha haw haw haw mm ha mm ha hai!!!

best game imo

[CaliburDS]

This is the hardest one for me to get superb on.

[rockchaoscid]

Getting perfect is actually easier then getting gold. your chance to get perfectc only ends if you get slapped

[CaliburDS]

That is nice to know. That means I actually have a chance!

[cheetah672]

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haHA HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOOHAHOOHA ha ha ha ha ha...

Aaaaaah, I love this game :)

[C8LINC]

Definitely my favorite song of the game.

[Chenchler]

Ugh...

This mini game is dang hard!!! >=(

[shadowkhris111]

This song was hard for me at first.

Kinda laughed every now and then when I got slapped for not keeping up.

[AuntMinty]

@shadowkhris111: Haha, that is pretty funny to see, isn't it? During the practice round, I like to miss on purpose and pretend the little guys are fighting. XD

[incheoul]

Hup hup hup huhai ha ha ha ha ha

[Citan1981]

Tough game to get perfect at, I always get slapped.

[incheoul]

it's funny getting slapped though especially the frog things XD

[jarc24]

HUP HUP HUP HUHAI

[hinkeyman]

hup hup hup, Hup HA!

[BlackRoseOfTruth]

Heha Heha HEY!

[asiangotchi]

I'm worried about those with epilepsy... This seriously made my eyes hurt. xP

[beesandjam]

I have trouble when I play games with flashing lights too. Everything fades to fuzzy dark and I feel sick. I'ts lasts for a few seconds. What do I have! I call it blackout. but if anyone knows what it is plz tell me!

[Krosserdog]

Go see a doctor dude :P that's pretty serious.

[zdigikid]

probably epilepsy its serious and can give you seizures and death

[beesandjam]

let me die on a happy note... :D

[ohojee]

Ha, I superb'd this while laying down on my bed with my eyes closed, listening to the hoo-ha hoo-ha to change. It was really annoying since it took me about 30 tries. =D

[MushroomBoy64]

"Hey, hey, hey, ha-HO! Boop, boop, boop, oompa, oompa, HEY!" XD

[Bamboozle4]

This has to be one of my favorite songs in the game. The rhythm game itself was very creative, and fun to do!

[Tigereyz4u]

It was hard at first....but then I learned to tap along to the guy's voice.

[Stupidmonkee11]

man this one was hard to get a surberb but i finally got it after completing the game the problem was that all the changing of colors hurt my eyes a lot it was hard to look at.

[MsCrashBash]

Do you have sensitive eyes? If so that is a problem

[Stupidmonkee11]

no i mean staring at pink for  a minute and a half can be some what irritating.

[MsCrashBash]

Oh, yes the flashing is very painful. I think it;s because it doesn't switch slowly

pink white pink white pink white AAAAAAAAGRRRRRRHHHHHHHH MY EYES!!!!

[Onthenet9999]

The 1st one is very Kirbyish, the 2nd one is very Earthboundish. Anyone ever notice that?

[MushroomBoy64]

Now that you said it, I do. ;)

[iStar125]

Yay i pefected it 2 days ago!!

[Jrmy733]

hay hay hay hay ho...... muha muha :p

[Jrmy733]

in the beginning its very hard butt the song is really funny and i like the munchy monk 1 and 2 song too:)

[MushroomBoy64]

The game is fucking hard, but the song is great!

[iStar125]

my fav song besides the selection screen
