Rhythm Heaven Superstar

Rhythm Heaven Superstar (Japanese: リズム天国：星空 Rhythm Tengoku: Starry Skies), known as Rhythm Paradise Nova in Europe; Rhythm World SWITCH (리듬세상 SWITCH) in Korea; Rhythm Paradise in South America, Canada, Mexico, & the Netherlands; Rhythm World (節奏世界 or 节奏世界) in China; and Rhythm Paradise (Ритм Рай) in Russia, is the fifth installment of the Rhythm Heaven series. It uses the letter/arrow buttons, both of the Z-triggers, & the C-Pad. It is be the second game to have a story mode, & will the first game to be released in South America, Canada, Mexico, China, Russia, & the Netherlands.
==Gameplay==
The gameplay is a lot like the rest of the series: You press buttons to the rhythm of the beat. There are always audio cues to guide you, so you can even play it without sight! Five games-- four normal games & one Remix-- are in each set, and you need to play them in order. There are 3 types of Ratings you could get-- Try Again, OK, & Superb-- and two sub-ratings-- Just OK & That's OK. If you get a Try Again 3 times in a row, you can ask the Barista to skip the game for you, but your Flow will go down.
== Story ==
A duo consisting of Rizzie, a girl with a big taste in music, and Simon, her monkey pet/friend, travel around the country to find the Maidens of Rhythm. They encounter some of the people of the various lands, including Captain Jackie (Symphony Shore; From Pirate Crew), Daisy (Giocoso Garden: From Wizard's Waltz), & Kaen-Kun (Sweet Street; From Kung Fu Ball). The Rhythm Maidens themselves are Grandia (DS Girl), Mariska (Headphones Girl), Hoshiko (Microphone Girl), Viola (Wii Girl), & Tapper (Tap Trial Girl).
==Differences from the Previous Games==
*In the Practice for all of the rhythm games, the instructions are read out by an voice actor, so that the visually impaired know how to play.
*A new version of the OK Rank is created- That's OK. It happens when you mess up a bunch, but you still didn't get an Try Again rating, nor a normal OK Rank. For example, the one for Polar Rhythm might go: "We got electric eels in our tummies? How shocking!" (But still... That's OK)
*The "Rhythm Girl" for this game, Rizzie, actually has a use in the main game. That hadn't happened since Tengoku, with Tapper.

The Perfect Reward is a Thing to Read, called "Winter Wonders", which is a series of poems.

Your Highness! has blue Puffballs marching down a small town, with the ocean in the background. Finally, Open Mic has the singing duo on one of the ships, with them wearing sailor costumes.

Pyramid Remix: Based upon ancient Egypt, & sandy deserts. The Paint Roller paints the sides of pyramids instead of walls.
Garden Remix: Based upon various forms of flora, & grasses. The Mandrill is balancing on a vine.
Solar Remix: Not really based upon the sun; instead, it focuses on the beach, with the sun in every shot.

Tambourine 	タンバリン (Tambourine) 	"In this game, in front of the player is a little monkey holding a tambourine. When the game starts, the monkey will perform a "set" of notes, shaking and hitting his tambourine to create a pattern. After the monkey finishes, he will cue the player with a call. The player will then have to repeat the pattern to the monkey by shaking (with A) and hitting (with A + ZR) their own tambourine. After the pattern is finished, the monkey will start the next set. Each set consists of 7 notes, with the length between notes and the command type varying."
Donk-Donk 	コンコンズ (Knock-Knock) 	"In this game, a caller repeats the words "Donk-Donk" and the A button must be pressed on each syllable. The caller will then say "Donk-Dwonk" in the same rhythm, but after it is called, the rhythm will switch to pressing A to the syllables of the caller's "Deet-Deet-Dwonk", which will be a triplet, until the caller yells out "Deet-Deet-Doot", and the rhythm returns to the "Donk-Donk" pattern."
Tap Troupe 	タップスター (Tap Star) 	"In this game, the player controls the fourth Tall Tapper in line (far right), with their face being visible near the bottom-left of the screen. When the game starts, the members of the troupe will start stepping at a steady beat. The player needs to step along with them by pressing A. At certain parts of the game, a voice will say "Rea-dy!", and the tappers get on their toes and continue tapping. When this happens, the speed of tapping increases to a triplet.

Shrimp Shuffle 	エビおんど (Ebi Ondo) 	"The player controls the third shrimp from the left and must press the 'A' Button to the beat to prevent from bumping into the shrimp on your left and right. The announcer will continuously say "1, 2, 3! 3, 2, 1!" to the beat and before every repeat of this rhythm the shrimps will exclaim "Together!". Occasionally, the shrimp will pause and shift position for a moment, then move along the regular rhythm again, only with another repeat starting immediately after the current one ends.

==Rhythm Toys==
Name 	Japanese Name 	How it Works
Police Call 	細胞電話 (Cell Phone) 	This Toy returns from Fever. The phone has a new look, making it look like modern smartphones. Unlike in Fever, this is a plot-important Toy. You need to type in both numbers & buzzwords to progress the story, as seen in the game's story trailer.

They can be put into the following settings: The Café (default), Rhythm Palace (Complete the story), Tibby's Mom (Get a bonus medal on all extra games, including Marshal's Night Walk), Pitch Paradise (from MegaRemix; unlock by putting PARADISE into the Police Call phone), Space Station (Perfect Universe Remix), Clockstep Lab (Perfect Clock Remix), and SPEED Headquarters (unlock all figurines, excluding amiibo).
Maracas 	マラカス (Maraca) 	The most Rhythm Game-like of the Toys. A monkey wearing an sombrero & holding maracas plays a 10-beat tune, & you have to copy it by shaking the Joy-Cons. Sounds familiar, in one or two ways?
