Fruit Basket

Fruit Basket (フルーツバスケット Fruit Basket) is the eighth minigame introduded in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. In this game, the player controls Courtney, the blue ground, who is bouncing fruits to get it into the basketball net outside in a happy looking field.

A sequel later appears in Machine Tower under the title Fruit Basket 2.

Gameplay
Courtney must bounce off fruits to the beat as they roll across him. Press A to bounce the fruit into the basketball net. There are two kinds of fruits. Apples, which have a normal beat, and lemons, which are on the offbeat. Please note that the melons do not appear in this variant.

Button Mode

 * A: Dunk the fruit

Simple Tap Mode

 * Tap: Dunk the fruit

Timing Notes

 * Hit: The fruit successfully gets bounced and shoots onto the basketball net.
 * Barely: The fruit bounces but misses the basket for being too late or too early. A barely counts as a miss.
 * Miss: The fruit is utterly missed and passes right by.

Skill Star

Trivia

 * Some of the things Courtney can think about are: a game of tic-tac-toe, his girlfriend, a dog, a hamburger and shake, himself as a skateboard, a little spider, and a panda.
 * In the American, European and Korean releases, the garage door from the Machine Remix was replaced with (presumably) Mr. Chicken from Charging Chicken with his car.
