Disney Violetta: Rhythm & Music is a rhythm and trivia game inspired by the Argentine telenovela that aired from 2012 to 2015. The story follows Violetta, a teenager with musical talent, as she returns to her hometown Buenos Aires with her father Germán after living in Europe. Violetta enrolls in Studio 21 to pursue her dreams of becoming a star, and the game explores Latin and pop music throughout.
Players can engage in three types of rhythm games within the game's career mode or quick play sessions. One type involves moving a microphone icon to catch notes, stars, and full hearts while avoiding broken hearts. On the Wii version, full-motion video from the show runs in the background, while on the Nintendo 3DS, 3D animated scenes are used.
In another game, notes fall from the sky, and players must catch them along with butterflies before they reach the bottom of the screen. The third game is a trivia challenge where players must guess song titles or lyrics based on excerpts within a timer.
