The Yellow Belt stage will be available soon as an in application purchase.

To add even more fun you will be applauded went you get things right, sprinkled with confetti when your succeed, honored with fireworks when you win, visited by impersonated characters when you take too long, win stars when you achieved, and last but not least be GRADUATED by Recorder Man and his impersonations of famous characters.

There is also a deluxe version of this application that includes a super slow scrolling version of every song. See ‘Black Belt Recorder Deluxe’.
