The player controls a bow and arrow, and the goal of the game is to send the pesky ghosts back to their haunted house as they are trying to escape. The environment is blue, with a tree in the background. It is also raining. Ghosts start to peek above the wall and slowly creep towards the other wall. The player must time each arrow shot to the ghost's rhythm before they zoom to the other wall. The ghost's pace changes during the game. The ghosts can also pop up lower behind the fence, which also lowers the volume of the music.
Perfect!/Ace!: The ghost is hit by the arrow and then flung through the door of the house.
Early!/Late!: The ghost barely manages to zip past the arrow, and shudders before escaping.
Miss...: The ghost zips through and giggles. If the arrow is shot when no ghost is passing through, it simply gets stuck in the door, and the player must wait for the ghost to pass before they can shoot again.

きほんが できてませんね。(Focus on the basics.) 音が消えると あせるみたい...(When the sound fades out, you panic...) ちゃんと カウント しようね。(Let's count properly.)
う〜ん...(Hmm...) まぁまぁ、 かな。(Well, I wonder.) とりあえず...(For now...) よしと します。(All right.)
音が消えても おちついている! (Even when the sound fades out, you're calm!) 体内カウント バッチシだ! (Your internal counting was right on!) 超ゆっくりでも すばらしい! (Even when super slow, you did it!)

Spiritual Commentary
Your archery fundamentals needed work. The silent ghosts sneaked past you. You should have counted to yourself.
Eh. Good enough.
You hit even when they were quiet. Your internal count was spot on! You did superbly against the slow ones.

A spooky voice murmurs...
You haven't got the basics yet. You panicked without audio cues. Don't forget to count in your head.
Good try.
You did well without audio cues. You can count in your head well. You were excellent at slow speeds.
Spooky Voices Agree
Your basics need work. The silent ghosts sneaked past you. The slow speeds threw you.
Eh. Passable.
You've nailed the fundamentals. You hit even when they were quiet. You adjusted well to slow speeds.
This bow has been in our family for generations. It's made of wood from a sacred tree and a dragon's whisker. And the dragon was left-handed! The tree was shaped like a two-headed horse!
This is the game with the fewest required inputs in the Original Rhythm Tengoku game, with only 12. Because of this you have to hit all of the ghosts spot on to get a Superb in the original Rhythm Tengoku game. However, in Rhythm Heaven Megamix you could miss a few and still get a Superb as long as you did not miss too many.
