The player is presented with a series of minigames that require the player to keep in time with the music. Unlike most rhythm games the musical score is not presented on screen and the players must use their own skill to time the beat. For example, in the first minigame the player must punch pots, rocks and light bulbs in time with the beat.

The player is presented with a series of minigames that require the player to keep in time with the music. If the player keeps reasonable in time, they move on to the next game.  
 
 
After a set of five minigames have been completed a Remix level appears. This level combines the prior five games into one song. As the game progresses, harder versions of certain minigames become playable and the remix levels will use various games outside of the last set.
 
 
 
After a game is over, the player is judged with a few comments on their performance ultimately ending in one of 3 outcomes (Try Again, OK, Great). A picture based on the outcome with a final comment is shown afterwards. By getting at least an OK the game is considered passed and the player moves on to the next one. By getting a Great, a medal will appear on the game's icon in the menu screen.
 
 
 
Any game with a Great status achieved will be randomly chosen for a Perfect Challenge. The player is given 3 chances to play the game without making a mistake. Succeeding will unlock a new song for the jukebox or supplemental reading material.
 
 
 
Earning medals will also unlock more extras such as Endless Games, Rhythm Toys, and Drum Lessons. Other extras include a coffee barista that gives you tips and a marathon of using the drum lessons for a full concert.
