Groove Coaster
Groove Coaster (Japanese: グルーヴコースター, Hepburn: Gurūvu Kōsutā) is a series of iOS / Android and arcade rhythm game franchise developed by Matrix Software and published by Taito. The first Groove Coaster was released for iOS on July 28, 2011. The game follows a musical roller coaster-type track on screen, where players must make the appropriate controller inputs. Like many rhythm games, a life bar is attached to the gameplay. Depending on the input timing, players gain or lose points on the long percentage bar at the top-right of the screen.
Groove Coaster Zero was a free-to-play updated version of the game, that got released on November 20, 2012.
The arcade version of Groove Coaster (also known as Rhythmvaders in some areas outside Japan) was released on November 5, 2013, with the touchscreen replaced by two giant controllers called "BOOSTERs" with a white button on each.
Groove Coaster EX (also known as Rhythmvaders EX in some areas outside Japan) is an update of the arcade version released on May 26, 2014.
Groove Coaster 2: Heavenly Festival (also known as Rhythmvaders 2 in some areas outside Japan) was released on January 22, 2015, in which the "LEVEL" system was removed and was replaced by a new system called the "GROOVE COIN" system, in which players can get "GROOVE COINs" according to their performance and use them as currency for virtual goods.
Groove Coaster 2: Original Style was released on iOS and Android on July 1, 2015. In this version, stage charts from the arcade version are added for some tracks, which makes two-finger play available. A new input mode is introduced, in which players play the stages by making sounds instead of touching the screen. This version was now shut down as of 31 March 2025.
Groove Coaster 3: Link Fever was released on March 10, 2016, with an online multiplayer system added, while the "MUSIC PANEL" system got removed. A fictional navigator introduced to the series, named Linka (リンカ; voiced by Moe Toyota in the Japanese version, and Jennifer Skidmore in overseas versions), who guided the player throughout the whole playthrough, was added.
Groove Coaster 3EX: Dream Party was released on March 16, 2017. In this version, the player is allowed to select the navigators. Another navigator introduced in 3EX, named Yume (ユメ; voiced by Nanami Takahashi in the Japanese version), is added as well. Also, Solo Event Mode, similar to the one until 2HF, returned in 3EXDP.
