There are hundreds of them.
Here's one.
Level 1-- learn the bass notes for Heart and Soul
Level 2-- now learn the bass notes in broken thirds
Level 3-- play those bass notes in left hand and root position triads an octave above in right hand
Level 4-- learn to play the melody in the right hand
Level 5-- (big power up needed to continue!) play both l.h. bass notes and r.h. melody
Level 6 Final Boss-- l.h. broken thirds and melody together
Now you go through 2nd Quest and play duets with people. It gets fun when you realize it's the same as the A section to I Got Rhythm so jazzers can jump in and noodle around atop your bass patterns.
You can even hear a few of these levels literally in the ending credits to a Tom Hanks movie:

Good luck and remember to save your game or you'll have to start back at the beginning each time.
Edit: the link is to a neat rendition-- you get a simulation of the game of learning the bass pattern as the musician slowly gains speed; New Orleans style Heart and Soul; and then a modest stride style Heart and Soul with chord substitutions. It even ends with a circle-of-fifths game that rises up to the Neapolitan before collapsing into one of those jazz ending-chords (sharp 11th?).
