Taiko no Tatsujin,[a] literally translating to English as Taiko Master, is a series of rhythm games created by Namco. In the games, players simulate playing a Taiko drum in time with music. The series has released games for the arcade and for console and mobile platforms including PlayStation 2, Advanced Pico Beena, PlayStation Portable, Nintendo DS, Wii, Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, PlayStation Vita, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android and Japanese Feature phones.
While the series is mainly designed for use within Japan, there are also specially localized releases for other regions, including English-, Chinese- and Korean-language versions.
The main objective of Taiko no Tatsujin games is to hit a simulated Taiko drum following a chosen piece of music, corresponding to notes[b] scrolling from the right.
A song is cleared when the spirit gauge[c] is filled past the target[d] by playing accurately enough.
Arcade releases are equipped with simulated Taiko, which can register hits when played with drum sticks (bachi).
Console versions mainly uses buttons to play, while certain devices can support additional methods of input:
The variety of notes in the game consists mainly of red and blue markers. The red don (ドン) note requires a hit on the face of the drum, and the blue ka (カッ) note requires a hit on the rim.[1]
Other notes require quick consecutive hits on the drum. Types of such notes includes the yellow bar, the balloon note and the Kusudama ball (or the yam on some releases).[1]
Unlike other rhythm games such as Guitar Hero, the drum is an addition to the songs and does not limit an instrument being played whenever the notes are not hit, nor does it simulate an off-key sound when missed as the game allows you to freely hit the drum wherever you want, so long as it isn't close to a note that could result in a penalty.
Most games in the franchise provide four difficulty levels for play: Easy,[e] Normal,[f] Hard,[g] and 'Oni',[h] the highest difficulty.
The sequence of the notes in a level is commonly referred to as a notechart[i].
Certain songs also have extra inner note charts[j] in addition to the four standard levels. These are intended to be alternative takes on the regular set.[2] Although not a main objective, most inner note charts are made more difficult than regular note charts.[2]
Some inner note charts work by changing to an alternative version of the song, or, exclusively in arcades, switching to a completely different song.[2]
Some songs can feature notechart branching[k] in certain difficulty levels. According to the player's performance, the notechart changes between Normal notechart,[l] Expert notechart,[m] or Master notechart.[n] On certain songs, a drumroll appears at the start to allow the player to pick any of 3 notecharts.
Various aspects of the game can be changed to the player's liking:
