In Hoop Trundling, which button makes the player character jump?

In Hoop Trundling, the A button makes the player character jump.

Hoop Trundling is designed around a deliberately simple control scheme. The player controls the character on the far left and presses A to send them through hoops in time with the rhythm. Success depends on timing the jump to the beat and the surrounding performance, not on steering through a complex platforming environment.

That approach reflects the central design of Rhythm Heaven. Its minigames usually assign one or a few actions to buttons, then make musical timing the real test. Visual cues help, but players are encouraged to listen to the song and learn its rhythmic pattern. A mistimed A-button press can therefore fail even when the character appears close to a hoop.

The control can be confused with the other face buttons listed as alternatives, but Y, X, and B are not the jump input identified for Hoop Trundling. Groove also includes 80 single-player rhythm games and more than 30 multiplayer games, so controls vary between activities; the A-button rule belongs specifically to this minigame.
