Osu! Fun Facts

Osu! was originally created as a practice tool for the Nintendo DS game Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan before it evolved into the massive online rhythm game community it is today.
Osu! includes a hidden taiko mode, inspired by the popular Japanese arcade game Taiko no Tatsujin, where players drum to the beat instead of clicking circles.
