Very charming rhythm game! While the GBA and DS ones didn't quite grab me (DS more because I thought the controls held the game back), this one very much lived up to all the hype I heard about it and feels like the definitive Rhythm Heaven experience. The songs are a bop, and all have really fun and cool timings with cute presentation that I adore.

Also, shout out to Remix 10 for being one of the coolest and most fun and catchy final levels in a rhythm game period. I've always loved this song as I've heard it many times beforehand, and getting Superb rank on it was so satisfying. Very great game. That said, I do find that I prefer Theatrhythm on 3DS a bit mostly since I find the touch screen being more responsive and better for faster paced rhythm games like this vs. button controls, but this game is still awesome despite that.

Fun enough game, definitely aimed at kids with short mostly fun to play minigames. I mostly just played through the story mode which gave me a good enough idea of how the game plays, and I thought it was fun, both seeing the fun interactions of the characters (Bowser and Eggman are especially riots) and also just getting a crash course of all the minigames. It's also super funny seeing characters like Bowser do stuff like swinging on Rings or dancing/speedwalking.

That said, screw the stupid kayak minigame where you have to spin the circle pad super fast to row faster, I swear doing that minigame a few times weakened my Circle Pad, big regret doing that, wish I hadn't bothered and had just done another challenge from the start.

The game was a fun enough time overall though, but definitely something meant more for kids than older gamers.
