Still, playing through the same Standard charts may feel tedious after a while. Maybe you’re looking for a new challenge. Or perhaps you want to ditch single-player gameplay for a fun co-op session with your friend. Then again, you may need a less demanding experience to better enjoy the music. No matter your plans, Theatrhythm has a gameplay style that will maintain your interest.

What Is Standard Style?

Standard Styleis Theatrhythm’s default single-player style. This is the same style you trained in through the game’s tutorial. All triggers, Touch Triggers, Hold Triggers, Slide Triggers, and Slide-Hold Triggers, are included in Standard Style.

What Is Pair Style?

Pair Styleis Theatrhythm’s co-op style. When playing in pair mode, the playfield gets divided into two sections.Player 1is responsible for hitting triggers in theblue section. Meanwhile,Player 2is responsible for hitting triggers in thepink section.

The blue and pink sections look slightly different in each music stage:

Cloud, Barret, Yuffie, and Tifa fight a monster on a stage with a Final Fantasy 7 backdrop in Theatrhythm: Final Bar Line. Pink and Blue rows indicate Pair Style gameplay.

If you’re looking for an additional single-player challenge, you may turn onSingle Controller Pair Playin theMS Optionsmenu. When this option gets turned on, the blue section of the stage gets played with the left side of the controller, while the pink section of the stage gets played with the right.

Dedicating triggers to a controller’s left and right side is hard to track when they are aligned from top to bottom. Therefore, we recommend attempting Single Controller Pair Play in Event Music Stages first. Since the triggers run in columns from left to right, you’ll have an easier time remembering which triggers require left-side inputs and which require right-side inputs.

What Is Simple Style?

Simple Styleis a paired-down version of Theatrhythm’s Standard Style gameplay that allows you to play with a single button. You can play Simple Style on any difficulty. However, the following changes will occur:

Simple Style is a great training tool to study a song’s rhythm without accomodating various triggers. It’s also an excellent gameplay style for when you wish to take it easy.
