[1] Overview
==============================================================================
1st Playable's Imagine: Gymnast is a gymnastics game that features a team
of playable heroines who have many aesthetic options. It is a follow-up
to Gym Rockets, and it simplifies the goals and the acquirement of items
but encourages the replaying of the events with the Player-created heroine
and her four predetermined friends. (This game should not be confused with
Gym Rockets' European version, which is also named Imagine: Gymnast.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1.1] Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The heroine joins the Harmony Gymnastics Academy, where she will make
friends with her new teammates and coach. Will they fulfill their potential
and take home the gold?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1.2] Characters
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Heroine (Player-Named)
(Character Select Info: "A new student at the academy with a bright outlook")
The main protagonist, and the newest member of the team. The heroine
is a friendly girl who enjoys the company of her teammates. By default,
she has brownish red hair with a ponytail, and her uniform color is
Purple and White. The heroine's name is limited to 10 characters.
Helena
(Character Select Info: "Vault master extraordinaire")
The bold member of the team. Helena approaches life and gymnastics with
a fearless attitude, and she also develops a particular liking for the
heroine. She has red hair with a spunky braid, and her uniform color is
Red and White.
Tess
(Character Select Info: "Poised diva")
The knowledgeable member of the team. Tess is a well-read person who likes
learning about the background of gymnastics as much as she does practicing
the sport itself. She has black hair with a bun, and her uniform color is
Yellow and Dark Pink.
Beatrix
(Character Select Info: "Speed is her middle name")
The shy member of the team. Beatrix possesses a quiet exterior that conceals
a fierce passion for her friends, never hesitating to leap to their defense.
She has blue hair with an afro (more like a perm), and her uniform color is
Dark Green and Light Blue.
Arianna
(Character Select Info: "Charismatic queen of style")
The uptight member of the team. Arianna loves ballet almost as much as
gymnastics, and she is always eager to share her dancing expertise with
her companions. She has blonde hair with a bob, and her uniform color is
Blue and Dark Blue.
Shannon Miller
The coach, and the head of the Harmony Gymnastics Academy. Shannon is
a charismatic leader who is a former Olympics champion herself.
In real life, Shannon Miller is the most decorated gymnast, having
won forty nine national and fifty nine international competition medals,
including nine World Championship Medals and seven Olympic Medals.
With her organization, the Shannon Miller Foundation (shannonmiller.com),
she works as a health and wellness advocate for women and children.
She also serves as a commentator and analyst on gymnastics.
In this game, Shannon appears as she has during 2010, with brown hair
(close enough to her actual hair). :)
Kristin
The heroine's best friend outside the academy. Kristin enjoys few things
more than going to the beach. She has brown hair.
The Heroine's Mom
The heroine's maternal parent. The heroine's mom is an active member
of the Army and is currently deployed overseas. She has brown hair.
(Unlike the relative in Gym Rockets, this character's complexion
isn't affected by the heroine's.)
The Reporter
A journalist. The reporter will be interested in Shannon's team at the
World Championship Finals. She has brown hair. (She appears only once.)
Gym Rockets
A formidable gymnastics team, and a reference to the protagonists
of an earlier game developed by 1st Playable. It is coached by Tammy,
and its star members are Beverly and her best friend.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1.3] Controls
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Touch Screen - Navigate the menus, begin a routine, and perform moves.
For the moves, be sure to draw large strokes, because small strokes
tend to be treated as erroneous taps. The game uses cardinal strokes
and diagonal strokes (for most moves), circle strokes (for adding twists
to moves), figure traces (for determining mounting and dismounting moves),
and taps (for landings).
Camera Pad (D-Pad) - Move the Camera in Leotard Design Mode.
Press Up and Down to move the Camera toward and away from the
heroine. Press Left and Right to revolve the Camera around her.
Reset Camera Button (L) - Reset the Camera's position in Leotard Design Mode.
Pause Button (Start) - Pause, and skip the Movies if they have already
been viewed. The Pause Screen has the options of resuming the Event
and of returning to the Main Menu.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1.4] New Features and Changes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The Goals are simplified. They are more generic, no longer requiring
specific moves to be performed, and they are repeated across every Event
within the same Chapter.
- The Stats System is removed. The heroines effectively begin with
maximized Stats compared to their Gym Rockets counterparts.
- The acquisition of items is simplified, and the Tokens and the Pro Shop
are removed. The Hairstyles, Leotard Prints, and Accessories are directly
obtained by attaining the Goals.
- The music for all Events is the same, except for the Rhythmic Events,
where the tune depends on the Template that is chosen. The option
to partially control which tunes to play during Events is removed.
- The visual style is changed from a soft, pastel style to a sleek,
lustrous style. However, several animations are reused from Gym Rockets.
- Most of the Tutorials and the Movies can be viewed again when
replaying the Chapters.
- The Minigames are removed.
- The Files are decreased to one. However, there is a Guest File that allows
a temporary New Game to be started but doesn't retain any progress there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1.5] Events and Moves
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Repertoire List (accessed via the Main Menu) displays the moves,
organized by Event.
Generally, Speed Moves (Green, 1 Energy Point) are associated with lateral
strokes, Technique Moves (Blue, 2 Energy Points) with diagonal strokes,
Poise Moves (Yellow, 3 Energy Points) with downward strokes for the
preparatory crouches (White, 0 Energy Points) followed by upward strokes,
and Power Moves (Red, 5 Energy Points) with upward strokes.
For each move, the number in the parentheses after the description
indicates the value in Tech Points.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[1.5.1] Balance Beam Moves (43 total) (Pink Beam Icon)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the Beam Events, the heroines mount the beam, build Energy and perform
moves on the beam in each of three parts, and then dismount the beam.
Energy is gained by continuously touching the handprint symbol that
appears on the heroines' left hands when they are doing their flourish
at the beginning of every part on the beam. The heroines can keep performing
moves until they don't have enough Energy to perform another move, and
they will automatically reposition themselves after every part.

[1.5.5] Rhythmic Moves (36 total) (Blue Ribbon Icon)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the Rhythmic Events, a routine is established by choosing a Template,
and then the heroines build Energy and perform moves in each of four parts.
Energy is gained by making the five randomly determined indicated strokes
(in the eight cardinal directions) that appear near the heroines when
they do their flourish at the beginning of every part.
Unlike the other Events, the Rhythmic Events don't allow open-ended
improvisation with the routine, which is strictly determined by the
Template. There must be a planned move remaining in the current part
in order for it to be performed, regardless of how much Energy and
space remain.
At the Template Select Menu, the reddish orange Charge Points represent
the beginning of every part, and the dots represent the moves. Drag the
dots to swap them with other dots, or tap a dot that is already highlighted
to change it via the Moves Menu. All Templates have sixteen moves total
across four parts, with each part having three to five moves. The game
will automatically prevent any arrangement of moves that exceeds the
maximum amount of Energy (10 Points) that can be gained in each part.
(The Rhythmic Event is a reworked version of the Performance Event
from Gym Rockets.)

[1.6] General Tips
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Invalid strokes won't negatively affect the combos, but large strokes are
generally better recognized than small strokes.
- Twists can be added to moves (by performing circle strokes prior to the
standard strokes) to increase those moves' Tech Points without costing any
additional Energy. However, twist-modified Technique Moves can prevent the
use of Power Moves in the Beam Events and the Uneven Bars Events. Twists
can also be frustratingly unresponsive. If they can't be recognized after
several attempts, just proceed without them to maintain the current combo.
Twists affect Poise Moves but not the crouches or other preparatory motions
(white arrow strokes).
- All moves except those for the Vault Events award similar amounts
of Style Stars. Spending the same amount of Energy to perform more
Speed Moves and Technique Moves will result in more Style Stars.
- In the Floor Events, in the first and the third parts, to gain Energy
more easily, leave the Stylus on the Touch Screen and drag it over the
handprint symbols as they appear on the heroines' hands. There is no need
to lift the Stylus and separately tap each symbol here.
- In the Vault Events and in the Floor Events' second and fourth parts,
gaining Energy requires the Stylus to be rubbed left and right across
the Touch Screen in general, not specifically over the indicator.
- In the Beam Events, to gain Energy more easily, begin by placing
the Stylus around the necks of the heroines, and then drag it
to follow the handprint symbol as it continuously appears on
the heroines' left hands.
- In the Uneven Bars Events, the simpler mounting moves will have the
heroines start on the lower bar, while the two most advanced ones will
have them start on the upper bar. Keep this in mind when preparing to
gain Energy by rapidly drawing circles in the direction indicated by
the ring of arrows (low bar's clockwise or high bar's counterclockwise).
- In the Rhythmic Events, to gain Energy more easily, begin the strokes
from the middle of the Touch Screen. Don't rush, because errors can cause
delays that cost more Energy. For an even easier time, change every move
to a Speed Move with high Tech Points (like the Scissor Jump). As ridiculous
as the routine may look, it will cost very little Energy yet guarantee
maximum Tech Points and maximum Style Stars, lol.
- The Team Cheer (available beginning from Chapter 5) is an extra
opportunity to gain Energy for only the first part of an Event.
When each word bubble turns white, tap on it. (Despite what the
Tutorial says, there is actually no need to drag the word bubbles
in the indicated directions. Continuously tapping on the word bubbles
guarantees success.) The Team Cheer's phrase depends on the Chapter,
with longer phrases potentially yielding more Energy. Missing the
Team Cheer doesn't really matter, because the heroines can still
gain Energy via the standard way.
- Access to the next Chapter is awarded upon the basic completion
of the latest Chapter, by reaching at least 1 Goal in every Event
in that Chapter. Access to Helena, Tess, Beatrix, and Arianna is
awarded upon the completion of Chapters 1 through 4.
- The best performance in an Event in terms of the Bronze, Silver, and Gold
Goals is saved over any previous performance. For example, if the heroines
attain only the Bronze and Silver Goals in one session and then attain only
the Silver and Gold Goals in a following session, the game will discard the
former results and keep the latter results (losing the earlier Bronze Goal).
- All of the heroines are equal in ability and play the same. (They even
have the same Tutorials.) Their progress through the story and in the
Goals is shared, but attaining a Chapter's Bonus Goal requires all currently
available heroines to each finish an Event in that Chapter while using
certain cosmetic options that are loosely connected to the story. Replaying
the Vault Events (where available) is the fastest way to accomplish this.
- At the Chapter Select Menu, the Locker Room (on the Top Screen) records
the heroines as they have each appeared upon their most recent completion
of an Event in the highlighted Chapter (not necessarily their current
appearance settings). This can be helpful for gauging the progress toward
the Bonus Goals. After the Bonus Goals are attained, the Chapters can be
replayed again to change the Locker Room's records to the heart's desire.
- To earn all items, fully complete the Chapters by reaching all Goals.
- The game automatically saves the heroines' progress and various settings.
The Main Menu or the Chapter Select Menu is a safe spot to turn off the game.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2.0] Prologue
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story:
Heroine: (speaking on phone)
Yeah, mom, I'm all packed.
Wouldn't want to miss my first day of training at
the gymnastics academy.
I'll be training under the legendary gymnast
Shannon Miller!
This could be my big break.
Don't worry about me. You're the one pulling duty
overseas in the Army. I'm worried about you!
(There is a car honk.)
Heroine: (speaking on phone)
Kristin's already here-- I'll talk to you later. Love
you, Mom!
(The heroine and Kristin arrive at the academy.)
Heroine:
Wow, this place looks so much nicer than our high
school gym.
Kristin:
You'll become a pro gymnast in no time!
Heroine:
Thanks. I can't believe I'm going to go the whole
summer without seeing you.
Kristin:
Don't worry. I'm sure you'll make lots of new
friends here.
Heroine:
Yeah. Well, thanks for the ride.
Kristin:
Have fun training. I'll say hi to the beach for ya!
Bye!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2.1] Chapter 1: Meet the Coach
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story:
(The heroine meets Arianna.)
Heroine:
Hi, I'm new here, and a bit lost.
Arianna:
You sure came to the right person-- I'm Arianna:
world-class gymnast and ballet dancer
extraordinaire.
Heroine:
Wow, well it's... good to meet you. Any idea
where I can find Shannon Miller?
Arianna:
Yup! She's in the gym right now. I'll show you the
way so you don't get lost.
(The heroine and Arianna go to the gymnasium.)
Shannon:
All right, ladies, back to work! I'm all about having
fun, but we're here to train hard too.
Hey, you must be [Heroine]. Welcome! It's always
great to see rising stars at the academy.
Heroine:
I can't believe I'm being trained by "the" Shannon
Miller, the most decorated American gymnast
ever!
Shannon:
Just call me Coach.
Ready to get started? Suit up and let's see what
you can do.
Team Cheer:
(none)
Goals: Floor Exercise Training (Floor)
Bronze: Charge 8 points of energy.
Silver: Perform 2 technique moves.
Gold : Receive 10/20 points.
Bonus : Ready for Gymnastics: Try on a new leotard.
General Hints:
The first Chapter's Bonus Goal requires all available heroines to each
wear a non-default Leotard upon completing the Event. One way to do
this is to use a Custom Leotard for every heroine. This Bonus Goal
is easier to reach at the beginning, before the heroine's new friends
become available as playable characters.
Rewards:
Floor: Small Hairband, Stars 4, Stars 1, Stars 2, Stars 3, Stars 5.
Bonus: Striped Hairband.
Story:
Shannon:
Great job! You definitely know your fundamentals.
Next, we'll have you try the vault and meet your
teammates.
But first, let's take a picture for the board. Say
cheese!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2.2] Chapter 2: Vaulting Ahead
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story:
Helena:
Hey, you must be the new girl! Mind if I call ya
Newbie?
You can call me Helena, because that's my name.
So get used to it!
Heroine:
Nice to meet you. I like your hair, by the way.
Helena:
Thanks! I can show you how to do it sometime.
This summer is going to be so much fun!
You here to try the vault? It's where I really shine.
Heroine:
Yeah, I--
Helena:
Sorry if I talk too much. Everyone says I have a
big mouth and don't know when to stop talking.
Ha!
Anyway, it's vault time! Check out my awesome
moves!
(Helena performs a vault.)
Heroine:
Wow, that's pretty cool. You'll have to teach me
how to do that.
Shannon:
Now that you mention it...
Being trained by your teammates would be a good
way to meet the team.
Helena:
Just call me Professor Helena! Ready to learn how
to vault like a pro, Newbie?
Don't be shy now-- you probably won't land on
your neck!
Team Cheer:
(none)
Goals: Vault Training (Vault)
Bronze: Perform 2 speed moves.
Silver: Achieve a chain of 2 moves.
Gold : Receive 2 stars.
Bonus : Hairstyle Fun: Do each other's hair to match!
General Hints:
The second Chapter's Bonus Goal requires all available heroines to each
have the same Hairstyle upon completing the Event. (They may still keep
their different Hair Colors.)
Rewards:
Vault: White Legwarmers, Dots, Stripes 1, Stripes 2, Stripes 3, Checker.
Bonus: Tiger Hairband.
Story:
Helena:
See? I knew you wouldn't land on your head! You
were like ZOOM and then WHOOSH!
I'd better watch out-- I might not be the vault
master around here much longer with you around!
Shannon:
Just remember that some of the moves can be
dangerous if you get careless.
Take the time to make sure you stick your
landings perfectly.
Helena:
Yeah, what she said.
Oh man, you gotta meet Tess and the other girls!
Come on, I'll introduce you!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2.3] Chapter 3: Balancing Act
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story:
(Tess performs on the beam.)
Helena:
Hey Tess, you gotta meet the new girl!
(Tess falls off the beam.)
Tess:
Aah! Helena!
Helena:
Oh, I'm not throwing off your balance, am I?
Tess:
Hardly. And hey there-- I'm Tess.
I see you met Helena. I hope you're not too
overwhelmed by the experience.
She's a lot of fun even if she is a bit crazy.
Helena:
Yeah, crazy talented!
Tess:
Let's get you started on the balance beam.
Before you begin, it'd be smart to try on some
accessories.
A hair band keeps the hair out of your eyes and
your focus on the beam.
Also makes you look great too, of course!
Team Cheer:
(none)
Goals: Balance Beam Training (Beam)
Bronze: Charge 10 points of energy.
Silver: Perform a dismount successfully.
Gold : Perform 3 poise moves.
Bonus : Useful Accessories: Try on some accessories.
General Hints:
The third Chapter's Bonus Goal requires all available heroines to each
wear at least one Accessory upon completing the Event. One way to do
this is to wear the Small Hairband for every heroine.
In the Beam Events, to gain Energy more easily, begin by placing
the Stylus around the necks of the heroines, and then drag it
to follow the handprint symbol as it continuously appears on
the heroines' left hands.
Rewards:
Beam: Wrist Guards, Butterfly 4, Butterfly 1, Butterfly 2, Butterfly 3,
Butterfly 5.
Bonus: Cute Watch.
Story:
Tess:
Nice work! I'm glad to have you on my team.
Heroine:
Thanks! Me too.
Shannon:
Well girls, it seems that the gym hasn't been set
up entirely for the summer.
Looks like we'll need to assemble the uneven
bars ourselves.
With teamwork it shouldn't take long, so let's get
to it!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2.4] Chapter 4: Putting It Together
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story:
Heroine:
Who is that?
Tess:
Her name's Beatrix. She's also new. Don't know
much about her, but I've heard she's really
talented.
Helena:
Hey Bea, we're here to help! Let's do this, team!
(The team sets up the uneven bars.)
Shannon:
All right, looks like we've got this set up safe and
secure. Who wants to try it out?
Helena:
I vote Beatrix! Come on Bea-- show us what you
got!
Beatrix:
Okay, I'll do it.
(Beatrix performs on the uneven bars.)
Heroine:
Wow, that's awesome! Coach, you need to teach
me how to be that good.
Team Cheer:
(none)
Goals: Uneven Bars Training (Uneven Bars)
Bronze: Perform a move on the high bar.
Silver: Perform 1 power move.
Gold : Perform 1 of each type of move.
Bonus : Gymnastics Butterflies: Wear butterfly pattern leotards.
General Hints:
The fourth Chapter's Bonus Goal requires all available heroines to each
wear a Butterfly Print Leotard upon completing the Event. One way to do
this is to use Butterfly 1 for every heroine. (They may still keep their
different Leotard Colors.)
The Gold Goal requires the performance of each of the four types of moves:
Speed (Green), Technique (Blue), Poise (Yellow), and Power (Red).
Rewards:
Uneven Bars: Pink Wristbands, Lightning 4, Lightning 1, Lightning 2,
Lightning 3, Lightning 5.
Bonus: Friendship Bracelets.
Story:
Heroine:
Hey, I should more properly introduce myself
since I'm new here too. I'm [Heroine].
You'll have to teach me more of those awesome
moves sometime.
Shannon:
All right girls, we've only got a few more things
to do today, so let's get to it!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2.5] Chapter 5: Meet the Team
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story:
Shannon:
Thanks for helping set up, team. We're ready to
really get our summer started.
Arianna:
I'm so excited! We're going to work on rhythmics
gymnastics now.
It's my favorite, since I can show off my skills as
a ballet dancer.
Helena:
Ex-ballet dancer, you mean. You quit ballet a long
time ago!
Shannon:
Now girls, don't be hard on her. You're a team
now remember?
We need to be unified if we want to win. Which
reminds me-- we're going to need matching
uniforms!
Arianna:
Hey [Heroine], I'm gonna show you how rhythmic
gymnastics is done.
Team Cheer:
"Let's go team!"
Goals: Rhythmics Gymnastics Training (Rhythmic)
Bronze: Chain 3 speed moves.
Silver: Charge 2 energy points in the team cheer.
Gold : Customize a move in your routine.
Bonus : Unified as a Team: Make your gymnasts' leotards match!
General Hints:
The fifth Chapter's Bonus Goal requires all available heroines to each
wear an exactly identical Leotard upon completing the Event. One way
to do this is to use the same Custom Leotard, which will have its own
Print and Color settings.
The Team Cheer is an extra opportunity to gain Energy for only the
first part of the Event. When each word bubble turns white, tap on
it. (Despite what the Tutorial says, there is actually no need to
drag the word bubbles in the indicated directions. Continuously tapping
on the word bubbles guarantees success.)
The Bronze Goal requires 3 Speed Moves to be performed cumulatively,
not necessarily in immediate succession.
The Gold Goal requires at least one deviation from the Template's
default settings. The easiest way to do this is to drag a dot to
swap its placement with another dot in the same part.
Rewards:
Rhythmic: Nice Barrettes, Diamonds 4, Diamonds 1, Diamonds 2, Diamonds 3,
Diamonds 5.
Bonus: Tiara.
Story:
Arianna:
Hey, that was pretty good! You've got style.
Heroine:
Thanks!
Shannon:
I think we've had a great first day of training, so
let's call it a night.
How about we kick back, relax, and watch a
movie. What do you say?
Heroine:
Yay! Movie night!
Kristin: (message on the heroine's phone)
U MADE ANY FRIENDS THERE
YET?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2.6] Chapter 6: Clear Your Mind
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story:
Heroine:
The vault always makes me a little nervous.
You're always so calm and focused, Tess. How do
you do it?
Tess:
I just clear my mind, forget everything that could
go wrong, and focus on how I'm going to do it
perfectly.
Don't worry about the crowd, the judges, the
scores or anything else.
Now that I think about it, that must be why
Helena's so good at the vault.
She doesn't worry about anything, even high
speed flips!
Helena:
They call me "Fearless Helena".
Heroine:
I've never heard anyone call you that.
Helena:
Well they should. It sounds cool.
Tess:
Making sure you have the right equipment can
help put your mind at ease and help you focus
too.
Helena:
Yeah, and definitely don't think about the Gym
Rockets.
You know, that team that always wins every
year?
Heroine:
There's a team that always wins?
Helena:
Yeah but don't worry about them. I bet we can
take 'em!
Tess:
Speaking of focus, let's get back to work. We've
got a lot of moves to practice!
Team Cheer:
"Let's have fun!"
Goals: Shoot for the Stars (Floor, Vault, Beam, Rhythmic)
Bronze: Perform 2 Technique moves.
Silver: Perform 3 technique moves.
Gold : Perform 4 technique moves.
Bonus : Gymnastics Gear: Try on more than one accessory.
General Hints:
The sixth Chapter's Bonus Goal requires all available heroines to each
wear at least two Accessories upon completing an Event. One way to do
this is to wear the Small Hairband and the Wrist Guards for every heroine.
Tess introduces the twist modifier. Twists can be added to moves
(by performing circle strokes prior to the standard strokes) to
increase those moves' Tech Points without costing any additional
Energy. However, twist-modified Technique Moves can prevent the
use of Power Moves in the Beam Events and the Uneven Bars Events.
Twists can also be frustratingly unresponsive. If they can't be
recognized after several attempts, just proceed without them to
maintain the current combo.
Rewards:
Floor: Spiral 1, Spiral 2.
Vault: Spiral 3.
Beam: Spiral 4, Spiral 5.
Rhythmic: Thick Hairband.
Bonus: Hoop Earrings.
Story:
Heroine:
Hey, Beatrix!
Beatrix:
Oh, hi!
Heroine:
We were all talking earlier about how to deal with
pressure and distractions when performing.
Since you're so good at that, I wanna know how
you deal with it.
Beatrix:
I don't know. It just sort of happens...
When I'm moving fast, everything else slows
down, and that's when I can really think.
Heroine:
Wow, sounds nice. Wish that worked for me.
I can't stop thinking about all the people watching
and judging me.
All the small mistakes that could cost me points...
After hearing about that other team that always
wins, I just don't know if I'm good enough, you
know?
Beatrix:
You shouldn't worry about that. You're a great
gymnast.
Heroine:
Thanks, Bea.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2.7] Chapter 7: Finding Support
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story:
Arianna:
Hey Beatrix, how come you're always so quiet?
Beatrix:
I don't know. I never feel like I have anything
interesting to say...
Heroine:
But you're awesome at the uneven bars! How
about you give us some tips?
Beatrix:
Okay, um, well, I like to chain a lot of quick
moves together to build up a lot of speed.
It's a great way to add style to your routine.
Heroine:
Thanks, I'll give it a try right now!
See? You should speak up more often.
Team Cheer:
"One two three go!"
Goals: As Fast as You Can (Floor, Vault, Uneven Bars, Rhythmic)
Bronze: Achieve a chain of 3 moves.
Silver: Achieve a chain of 4 moves.
Gold : Achieve 2 chains of 4 moves.
Bonus : Fast as Lightning: Wear lightning bolt pattern leotards.
General Hints:
The seventh Chapter's Bonus Goal requires all available heroines to each
wear a Lightning Print Leotard upon completing an Event. One way to do
this is to use Lightning 1 for every heroine. (They may still keep their
different Leotard Colors.)
The Silver Goal and the Gold Goal require the performance of four-move
combos. For the Uneven Bars, one way to do this is to keep performing
two Speed Moves, a Technique Move, and then a Speed Move. For the Vault,
the landing counts as the fourth move.
Rewards:
Floor: Hearts 1, Hearts 2.
Vault: Hearts 3.
Uneven Bars: Hearts 4, Hearts 5.
Rhythmic: Green and Blue Wristbands.
Bonus: Pretty Scarf.
Story:
(Beatrix gathers her confidence and approaches the heroine.)
Beatrix:
Hi, [Heroine].
Heroine:
Hey, Beatrix. What's up?
Beatrix:
I just, um, wanted to say you did really well at
practice today.
Heroine:
Oh, well thank you! Your tips were a big help.
Beatrix:
You're welcome.
(The heroine's phone rings.)
Heroine:
Hello? Mom! How are you? You okay?
That's good. I miss you so much. When are you
coming home?
We're going to be competing soon. I wish you
could be there.
I'm kinda nervous-- they're the biggest
competitions I've ever been in.
I know I shouldn't be worried. I'll be fine. Just...
cheer for me, okay?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2.8] Chapter 8: Tough Enough?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story:
Shannon:
Okay girls, the big competitions are coming up.
The judges will want to see you give it
everything you've got.
Arianna:
Ugh, I'm already giving this everything I've got.
This training feels like boot camp sometimes.
Tess:
Actually, that's not surprising. Gymnastics
originated from military training regimens.
For example, ancient soldiers invented what
became the vault to practice mounting their
horses.
Helena:
Geez Dr. Knowledge, where do you learn all this
stuff?
Tess:
Hey, I like to read. I figure if I'm doing this much
gymnastics, I should know something about it.
Heroine:
My mom has told me what real boot camp is like. I
don't think our training is that tough.
Shannon:
I know these workouts can be hard, but they can
also be a lot of fun.
Take the challenge and run with it!
Don't think of it as an obstacle in the way, but
one you can overcome.
Never set limits on yourself-- if you're
determined enough, I believe you can reach any
goal you make.
You girls have a lot of heart. I know you can do
it.
Team Cheer:
"We can do it!"
Goals: Push Yourself (Floor, Beam, Uneven Bars, Rhythmic)
Bronze: Perform 3 poise moves.
Silver: Perform 4 poise moves.
Gold : Perform 5 poise moves.
Bonus : A lot of Heart: Try a little red in your leotard designs.
General Hints:
The eighth Chapter's Bonus Goal requires all available heroines to each
have Red as her Leotard's Primary Color or Secondary Color upon completing
an Event. (If the heroines are using Custom Leotards, the Red doesn't even
need to be drawn, lol.)
To enable Poise Moves, the heroines may need to first perform crouches or
other preparatory moves (white arrow strokes).
Rewards:
Floor: Flame 2.
Beam: Flame 1, Flame 3.
Uneven Bars: Flame 4, Flame 5.
Rhythmic: Butterfly Barrettes.
Bonus: Fancy Necklace.
Story:
Shannon:
That wraps up practice for today.
There's still plenty more to do, but for now let's
relax with some free time tonight.
Arianna:
Done already? I could still do more. I am the
queen of perseverance.
Helena:
You? Ha!
You were the one who was whining about our
training regimen being too hard earlier today!
Arianna:
I got through it okay, didn't I?
Tess:
Helena's just saying that you can't really claim to
be the queen of perseverance if you complain
about it.
Helena:
Just like you can't claim to be a ballet dancer
either when you're not.
Why you always gotta stretch the truth?
Beatrix:
Hey, leave her alone!
Shannon:
Girls, relax! You've got the night off. Let's make
it a good one.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2.9] Chapter 9: Too Much Style
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story:
Arianna:
Hey, [Heroine], isn't that my bag?
Heroine:
Is it? Oh, sorry. I guess I grabbed the wrong one.
Arianna:
Well, give it back!
Shannon:
This is it-- the first competition. The big leagues.
You'll need to be extra flashy to impress the
judges.
Try chaining moves together for a high score
with a lot of style.
Helena:
They want something flashy, huh? Let's see what
they think of this...
(Helena crashes into something.)
Heroine:
Helena! You okay?!
Helena:
Yeah, except for my pride.
Arianna:
You could have been seriously injured! Did you
even think about what would happen then?
It would have hurt the whole team's chances to
win!
If I have to miss out on winning this competition
because you wanted to show off...
Helena:
Glad you're so concerned about my health, Arianna.
Shannon:
Hey! Hey! Girls-- come on!
Get out there and focus your energy on your
gymnastics, not each other.
(The city venue is located at a concourse among the nighttime streets.
Large, colorful signs with gymnastics motifs are found on the buildings.)
Team Cheer:
"Show them what we got!"
Goals: Big City Style (Vault, Beam, Uneven Bars, Rhythmic)
Bronze: Receive 3 stars.
Silver: Receive 4 stars.
Gold : Receive 4 1/2 stars.
Bonus : Individuality: Make each of your gymnasts' leotards different!
General Hints:
The ninth Chapter's Bonus Goal requires all available heroines to each
wear a Leotard that is different from the others' upon completing an Event.
One way to do this is to use a different Custom Leotard with different
Leotard Colors for every heroine.
The Gold Goal requires the gaining of enough Energy and the performance
of enough appropriate combos. For most of the Events, one way to do
this is to keep performing two Speed Moves, a Technique Move, and then
a Power Move as much as possible.
Rewards:
Vault: Cow, Zebra.
Beam: Leopard.
Uneven Bars: Giraffe, Snake Skin.
Rhythmic: Striped Legwarmers.
Bonus: Dangle Earrings.
Story:
Kristin:
Hey [Heroine]! You did great out there!
Heroine:
You came to watch me? Aww, that's so cool--
thank you!
Wanna get a bite to eat? It'd be great to hear
about your summer so far.
Arianna:
...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2.A] Chapter 10: The Pressure
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story:
Arianna:
[Heroine], did you have fun with your friend the
other night while we were all practicing?
Heroine:
What are you trying to say? Kristin just came to
support me, that's all.
Arianna:
Oh no reason, just wondering where your
priorities lie...
Helena:
Are you really one to talk about commitment, miss
I-quit-ballet?
Arianna:
Hey, my dance studio didn't approve of my
gymnastics and made me choose one. I had to
quit!
I gave up my love of ballet to do this. How
dare you question my commitment!
Shannon:
Girls, I can't believe you're fighting right now.
We're in the middle of competing. I need you to
put your differences aside and keep it together!
Your teammates are there to support you. To be
there when you need them.
They let your strengths shine, and show you who
you can be.
Trust them, and in turn they will trust you.
I know you girls have what it takes to win, but
you need to work together.
Now get out there and act like a team!
(The dojo venue is a gymnasium with elements of traditional Japanese design.
Outside the open doors, sakura and torii can be seen.)
Team Cheer:
"We're the best!"
Goals: Gymnastics Dojo Competition (Floor, Vault, Beam, Rhythmic)
Bronze: Receive 14/20 points.
Silver: Receive 15/20 points.
Gold : Receive 16/20 points.
Bonus : Stormy Weather: Try a little black in your leotard designs.
General Hints:
The tenth Chapter's Bonus Goal requires all available heroines to each
have Black as her Leotard's Primary Color or Secondary Color upon completing
an Event. (If the heroines are using Custom Leotards, the Black doesn't even
need to be drawn, lol.)
Rewards:
Floor: Ice 1, Ice 2.
Vault: Ice 3.
Beam: Ice 4, Ice 5.
Rhythmic: Heart Barrettes.
Bonus: Crown.
Story:
Heroine:
I'm sorry you're upset, coach.
Shannon:
You girls have a lot of potential to make it to the
top.
I don't want to see you fall apart before you can
get there.
Heroine:
I think we're just under a lot of pressure, that's
all.
Shannon:
That's true. But you have to rise above it and not
let it get to you. That kind of stress isn't healthy.
Gymnastics can be a challenging sport, but that
should be what makes it fun, not unbearable.
Heroine:
Come on guys, we need to stop fighting or we'll
never win.
Let's not let the pressure get the best of us.
What do you say?
Heroine, Helena, Arianna:
Let's go team!
Heroine:
All right, now let's make up and go for the gold!
Arianna:
I'm really sorry for the way I acted.
After losing ballet, I really want to win this, and I
guess I let those feelings get in the way.
Helena:
It's okay, Arianna. I shouldn't have provoked you
either.
But hey, water under the bridge, right? We've got
events to win!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2.B] Chapter 11: Just Relax!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story:
Shannon:
Since the stress from the competitions seems to
be getting to everyone, I have a surprise for you
all...
Put on your swimsuits, girls. We're going to
practice at the beach!
Heroine:
THE BEACH?! Hooray!
(The team goes to the beach.)
Kristin:
Hey, [Heroine]!
Heroine:
You're here too? This day just keeps getting
better!
Kristin:
Sure! I'm here to cheer you guys on, and how
could I pass up another day at the beach?
Heroine:
You can help set up and meet the rest of the
team. Come on!
(The beach venue is decorated with pleasant cafes and exotic statues.
The warm sun hovers above the horizon, while several sailboats float
over the calm waters. The volcano in the distance is actually erupting,
with streams of lava slowly but visibly flowing down its sides, lol.)
Team Cheer:
"We love the beach!"
Goals: Beachside Fun (Floor, Beam, Uneven Bars, Rhythmic)
Bronze: Receive 4 stars.
Silver: Receive 4 1/2 stars.
Gold : Receive 5 stars.
Bonus : Swimsuit Fun: Put on swimsuits for your day at the beach!
General Hints:
The eleventh Chapter's Bonus Goal requires all available heroines to each
wear a Leotard that doesn't cover any of the limbs upon completing an Event.
Use Leotard Shape 2 or Leotard Shape 5 for every heroine.
Rewards:
Floor: Floral 1, Floral 2.
Beam: Floral 3, Floral 4.
Uneven Bars: Floral 5.
Rhythmic: Star Legwarmers, Star Barrettes.

Championship Finals.
Don't worry-- you're all amazing gymnasts and I'm
sure you'll do fine.
To help get you excited for the games
tomorrow, [Heroine] is going to do a special cheer.
Heroine:
All right team, we're going to compete tomorrow,
and it's going to be hard.
Arianna, Tess, Beatrix:
Aww!
Heroine:
...But we're going to win!
Arianna, Tess, Beatrix:
Hooray!
Heroine:
...Then it'll all be over.
Arianna, Tess, Beatrix:
Aww!
Heroine:
...Because we'll have won everything!
Arianna, Tess, Beatrix:
Hooray!
Heroine:
...Except as many medals as Shannon Miller.
Arianna, Tess, Beatrix:
Aww!
Heroine:
...But we can win twice as many!
Arianna, Tess, Beatrix:
Hooray!
Shannon:
Well girls, if you want to break my records, this
competition is a great place to start.
Let's go out there and win tomorrow!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2.C] Chapter 12: Final Competition
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story:
Reporter:
I'm here at the World Championship Gymnastics
Finals with the team that legendary gymnast
Shannon Miller has been coaching.
Girls, what can you tell us about your team?
Beatrix:
We're the best, and we're going to win.
Reporter:
Well there you have it-- Shannon Miller's team,
which has been sweeping its way through the
competition.
Let's see if they have what it takes to win the
gold.
Shannon:
Okay girls, it's game time, so this is it.
The judges at this level are tough, so shoot for
the highest score you can.
Heroine:
Look at their scores! The Gym Rockets are just
as tough as you guys said.
Shannon:
I know you girls can beat them, and don't let
anyone tell you differently.
Good luck, and know that I'm proud of you either
way.
Let's get out there and show them we're
champions!
(The hotel venue is a richly adorned lobby, complete with
magnificent chandeliers. This hotel has been seen earlier,
when Shannon has been talking about going to the beach.)
Team Cheer:
"Go for the gold!"
Goals: Gala Hotel: Final Showdown (Vault, Beam, Uneven Bars, Rhythmic)
Bronze: Receive 18/20 points.
Silver: Receive 19/20 points.
Gold : Receive 20/20 points.
Bonus : Something Special: Try wearing one of the special items.
General Hints:
The twelfth Chapter's Bonus Goal requires all available heroines to each
wear at least one Accessory that has been obtained from other Bonus Goals
upon completing an Event. Use an Accessory like the Striped Hairband,
the Tiger Hairband, the Tiara, or the Cool Sunglasses for every heroine.
The Gold Goal requires the gaining of enough Energy and the performance of
enough appropriate combos. For the Beam Event, gaining the maximum amount
of Energy and then spending most of it on Technique Moves and Power Moves
(preferably with two twists for the latter) in all three parts is essential.
Rewards:
Vault: Formal 2.
Beam: Formal 1, Formal 3.
Uneven Bars: Formal 4, Formal 5.
Rhythmic: Spotted Legwarmers.
Bonus: Butterfly Wings.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2.D] Epilogue
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story:
Heroine:
We did it! We won!
Shannon:
I'm so proud of all of you!
Mom:
I can't believe my daughter is a world champion
gymnast!
Heroine:
Mom! You're back!
Mom:
Just in time to see you win the gold, too. You did
wonderful!
I'm really sorry I've been gone so long.
Heroine:
It's okay, mom. Not your fault. And besides...
...I had friends, a coach and a team there for me
this whole time.
Shannon:
And speaking of support-- I've heard from several
colleges interested in giving you girls scholarships.
Tess:
We're getting scholarships? That's so cool!
Helena:
Hear that, Newbie? We'll go to college and I can
call you Roomie instead!
You're not much of a newbie anymore anyway.
Tess:
It was great working together, everyone. We
made a great team.
Arianna:
You say that like it's over! There's always the
Olympics...
Heroine:
Yeah, and you know what that means...
Tess, Arianna, Heroine:
Let's go team!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[5.2] Really Small Details That Make Little Girls Remain Close Together
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Heroine's Adaptability
The story implies that Helena is the best at Vault Events,
Tess at Balance Beam Events, Beatrix at Uneven Bars Events,
and Arianna at Rhythmic Events. So, is the heroine supposed
to be the best at Floor Events?
Helena's Boldness
In the Vault Events, if no stroke is made, the heroines will perform
an unlisted 0-point leaping move similar to what happens in Gym Rockets,
except the automatic landing here will be a stumbling one. For some reason,
the crowds will still clap lightly. We guess that any encouragement is
better than none, lol.
Tess' Control
In the Balance Beam Events, at the Harmony Gymnastics Academy, the crowds
are actually standing outside the building. The interior's layout and
the camerawork there may necessitate such a weird arrangement, but,
hey, it beats having everyone crammed into that upper booth in the
Uneven Bars Events. It also beats the fountain's water (seen at the
Main Menu) not being animated. What is wrong with this entire place?
Beatrix's Skill
In the Uneven Bars Events, the heroines gain Energy by immediately
pulling off multiple large swings. We aren't sure if that is how
gymnasts begin their sets of moves on the bars in real life.
Arianna's Grace
In the Rhythmic Events, when the heroines are gaining Energy, the flourish
they perform is the Swan from Gym Rockets. The ribbon has a color that
matches those of the chosen Template's background imagery, too. (In the
Intro Movie, Arianna is the only character who has a glint on her feet
instead of her hands or wrists. Does that represent her ballet background?)
Shannon's Awesomeness
Several of the game's later Accessories include things like the
Fancy Necklace and the Dangle Earrings, which one would expect
to swing all around and get in the wearer's way. No sensible gymnast
would hinder herself with them, unless she is a videogame heroine.
Tammy's Command
Don't like the crowds generating noise at the beginning of an Event?
Pausing will silence the crowd cheering.
Beverly's Recovery
Unlike in Gym Rockets, making invalid strokes in Gymnast won't ruin the
combos. Simply tapping the Touch Screen instead of drawing full strokes
during an Event results in a valid confirmation sound, even if there
are no other apparent effects.
Lauren's Vanity
The back of the game's case states that there are Accessories that
can improve the heroines' performance. Whoops. Like in Gym Rockets,
the Accessories in Gymnast have a purely cosmetic function.
Melissa's Sweetness
Using some Leotard Prints will add a greater sheen to the heroines' skin.
We guess that those Prints make the heroines more excited and cause them
to sweat more or something. XD
Krezzy Comparisons
Just for fun, let's compare the Gym Rockets with the Harmony Gymnasts.
Name Rockets Harmony
Consist of five girls x
Consist of only two girls, lol x
Belong to a strictly all-female cast of characters x
Are carried by just one member :O x
Perform at beautiful venues x x
Perform in front of loudly cheering crowds x
Perform in eerily quiet studios x
Are coached by a former Olympian athlete x x
Are coached by a former Olympian athlete who's real x
Have Minigames and partially customizable music x
Have a Team Cheer and crappy rhythmic music x
Have to actually earn Tokens to go buy their stuff x
Love being together in bodysuits and leotards x x
Winner Tie
