Taiko No Tatsujin - Diffculties

Diffculties

Taiko no Tatsujin currently features four level of difficulty. The song and BPM remain the same. However, the number of notes and their variation (the distance between notes, what kind of notes used) differs between the difficulties. Also, there is a general difficulty indicator for each song, represented by stars beside the song's name. The plants used to signify the first three levels are a traditional Japanese ranking system. The four difficulties include:

• Kantan (かんたん?), represented by ume flowers.
• Futsuu (ふつう?), represented by bamboo.
• Muzukashii (むずかしい?), represented by a bonsai.
• Oni (おに), represented by a demon. Players may be able to unlock this difficulty in the arcade and/or the console versions.
