- Rhythm Tweezers 2 Description (Rhythm Heaven Megamix)

Rhythm Tweezers 2 (かえってきた リズム脱毛), simply called Rhythm Tweezers (リズム脱毛) in Rhythm Tengoku, is the second minigame that appears in Rhythm Tengoku. It returns as the 38th minigame in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, as a sequel to Rhythm Tweezers.

The topic of this game is plucking the hairs off of onions and potatoes, as well as dealing with the curly ones. In Rhythm Tengoku, this game has a sequel, Rhythm Tweezers 2, which is unlocked later in the game.

While the game is called "Rhythm Tweezers 2" in Megamix, it is actually just "Rhythm Tweezers" from Tengoku. If you are looking for "Rhythm Tweezers 2" from Tengoku, see Rhythm Tweezers 2 (GBA).

Gameplay
This minigame starts with an image of a vegetable. Several hairs, both straight and curly, appear in a rhythmic pattern. In order to pluck the curly hairs, the player has to press and hold A button or the D-Pad until the hair is plucked. After the pattern ends, a pair of hair clippers will start to scroll around the vegetable, making the player repeat the rhythm it was given to pluck the hairs. Curly hairs also appear, which require the player to hold down the button for longer.

While the gameplay is identical in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, the background is purple instead of white.

Button Mode

 * A or D-Pad: Pluck regular hairs
 * Hold A or D-Pad: Pluck curly hairs

Simple Tap Mode

 * Tap: Pluck hairs
 * Hold Stylus: Pluck curly hairs

Timing Notes

 * Hit: The hair strand gets fully plucked out. If all of the hairs are plucked, The vegetable will smile at the end of the circle.
 * Barely: Part of the hair gets plucked out, but some is left. A laughing sound can be heard. The vegetable won't smile at the end of the circle either. A barely counts as a miss.
 * Miss: The hair is not plucked.

Skill Star
When the player is dealing with the potato with one hair at the beginning and the end, and a bunch of hairs between them, pluck the last hair at the right moment to collect the skill star.

Rhythm Tweezers 2P
Rhythm Tweezers also appears in the two-player mode of the arcade version of Rhythm Tengoku, where it is referred to as Rhythm Tweezers 2P (リズム脱毛 2P). Each vegetable is done in turns, first by player one and then by player two. As a result, the game is twice as long as the regular version.
