"Memo from Assistant We have quite a germ outbreak on our hands. Help us! (No practice.)"

- Sick Beats Description Sick Beats (バイキンはかせ) is the tenth game in Rhythm Tengoku. In this rhythm game, you are a doctor protecting the yellow micro-organism by stabbing all the bacteria blobs with forks. Getting a perfect on this game earns a gift "Rhythm Diagnosis".

Gameplay


The player uses the D-Pad (+) to shoot at the viruses from one of four directions, depending on their placement on the map.

Controls

 * Left: Shoot Left
 * Right: Shoot Right
 * Up: Shoot up
 * Down: Shoot down

Timing Notes

 * Hit: The virus will be vanquished.
 * Barely: The virus will be vanquished, but barely touch the fork. A barely counts as a hit.
 * Miss: The virus will continue on its way. The player has multiple chances to vanquish the virus, however, when it makes it to the bottom right, it's done.

Rating Notes

 * Try Again: "They'll cut my funding..."
 * OK: "Unwanted results are a step towards success!"
 * Superb: "This medicine will save lives!!"

Sick Beats SP
Sick Beats SP (バイキンはかせSP) is the second endless game in Rhythm Tengoku. 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 viruses 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

 * When stabbing a virus followed by an off-beat virus, a star will appear next to Dr. Beat.
 * If a single virus gets to the end, it will result in a Just OK.
 * 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 the Rhythm Tengoku Arcade version and in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
