Developed by the creators of WarioWare, the game focuses on strict rhythmic timing across dozens of eccentric mini-games.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCore Gameplay Mechanics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-top: 0in;\" type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003eThe \"Book-Style\" Grip: Players must turn the Nintendo DS sideways 90 degrees and hold it vertically like a book.

Each tier contains four unique standalone mini-games followed by a \"Remix\" level that mashes all four previous concepts together into a single, fast-paced track with shifting visual styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAt the end of a stage, players receive a performance score: Try Again, OK, or Superb. Earning a \"Superb\" awards a Medal, which unlocks endless side-games, rhythm toys, and guitar-based lessons.
