Endless Game
The game is an endless version of the original, ending once a single virus gets through to the end with being forked. The game gets faster as you continue, and new variations of blobs are introduced. Pink ones will take two hits, and will continue to a different direction, meaning a player couldn't use the same side of the D-pad twice when vanquishing a pink one. A black one has three hits, and follows the same properties as the pink.

Trivia

 * This game appeared as an endless game.
 * If you press them quick enough together, you can shoot two blobs at once.
 * This is one of the few games that doesn't feature a tutorial in the Rhythm Heaven Series.
 * This was changed in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
