## Description
The iDOLM@STER: Shiny Festa – Rhythmic Record is a spinoff series of The iDOLM@STER series. Unlike
the main series, _SHINY FESTA_ consists of pure rhythm games. Each game
features a 23-minute anime episode at the beginning. The story involves the
idols of 765 Production being invited to participate in a global music
festival. However, only a handful of idols can go. Which idols attend depends
on the game.
Gameplay involves notes traveling to a target in the center of the screen. The
player must hit the right notes when they pass over the target to get a good
score. Different songs are available, and each song has a music video that
plays during gameplay. These videos include both prerendered CG characters and
traditional animation. More songs can be unlocked and downloaded.
There are two main modes: Stage Mode, a sort of free mode, and Star of Festa
Mode, which is the story mode. In Stage Mode, the player selects the songs
they want. There are 4 difficulty levels for Stage Mode: Debut (Easy) and
Regular at the start of the game, and the unlockable Pro and Master levels.
Star of Festa Mode has three difficulty levels and a new point counter called
the popularity gauge. How many popularity points the player has determines
what kind of ending they will get after 5 days.
In _Rhythmic Record_ , the idols chosen to represent 765 Pro are Yayoi
Takatsuki, Ami Futami, Mami Futami, Hibiki Ganaha, and Iori Minase.
First Print (初回) retail release for PSP platform includes backstage pass code
for “The World Is All One!!” song for use in the game, and Shiny Festa version
of one of the idols to use in The iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls.
