Animal Acrobat

"This is the big finale under the big top! This acrobat is not monkeying around!"

- Animal Acrobat Description

Animal Acrobat (Japanese: 空中ブランコリン "Midair Trapeze") is the 51st minigame that has been introduced in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. This game tells the story of a monkey who wants to become a circus star.

A sequel later appears in Left-Hand Tower titled Jungle Gymnast.

Gameplay
The player controls a monkey who must reach the gorilla at the end of the game. Press A button to grab and hold an elephant's trunk and then release it properly not to fall down. And when it's a giraffe, press and hold A button to grab its head in order to release it and aim for the fire ring.

Timing Notes

 * Perfect!/Ace!: The monkey catches or launches successfully from an animal and do a backflip.
 * Early!/Late!: The monkey catches or launches barely from an animal with a "tik" sound. Sometimes, the audience will laugh at the player.
 * Miss...: The monkey fails to catch an animal or to launch from one and falls to the bottom of the screen. He will return for the next animal to catch by jumping.

Skill Star
When you are at the double giraffe, hold the second giraffe and release it perfectly to collect the star.

Challenge Train

 * So Many Monkeys!

Trivia

 * If the game is paused multiple times in this minigame, the music will be out of sync with the audio. This is also the case with Jungle Gymnast.
