From Mark Brown on Cadence of Hyrule
What was said about Cadence of Hyrule
Cadence of Hyrule added a fixed beat mode for players who struggle with rhythm. The mode lets players move without following the beat of the song. It is an optional assist that targets one specific barrier in a rhythm game.
Because it is optional, it does not change the experience for hardcore players. Super Mario Maker 2 (a palette of help blocks and items) and Yoshi's Crafted World (Mellow mode with infinite flight) use the same approach. Mark Brown: "I personally really appreciated the game's fixed beat mode, which lets you move without conforming to the beat of the song."
