Walkthrough

Getting Started with Taiko no Tatsujin Pop Tap Beat

Begin by selecting a song from the available tracklist, which includes 31 songs at launch, ranging from classic tunes to anime and game music. Choose a difficulty level (Easy, Normal, Hard, or Extreme) based on your skill. As notes scroll from right to left, tap the screen when they align with the target circle. Red notes require a single tap, blue notes need a two-finger tap, and yellow notes demand a rapid drumroll with two fingers. Aim to time your taps precisely to earn GOOD scores and fill the Soul Gauge. Clearing a song requires the Soul Gauge to pass the clear line by the end. Replay songs to improve your score and earn points to unlock treasure chests with drum costumes. For multiplayer, select the online mode to compete with friends.

Mastering Gameplay Mechanics

Gameplay revolves around timing and precision. Each song has unique note charts, requiring players to tap in rhythm with the music. Red notes are single taps, blue notes are simultaneous two-finger taps, and yellow notes are drumrolls. The game evaluates each tap as GOOD (perfect timing), OK (slightly off), or BAD (missed or poorly timed). Filling the Soul Gauge by hitting notes accurately is key to clearing a song. Higher difficulty levels increase note speed and complexity. Use earned points to unlock costumes, adding a customization element. Online multiplayer lets you challenge friends, testing your rhythm skills in real-time. Controller support enhances precision on compatible devices.
