Rhythm Tweezers 2

Rhythm Tweezers 2 (かえってきた リズム脱毛), known in Rhythm Tengoku as Rhythm Tweezers (リズム脱毛), not to be confused with the sequel in Rhythm Tengoku, is the 2nd minigame in Rhythm Tengoku and the 38th minigame in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. In this game, the player is plucking hairs off of onions and potatoes, as well as dealing with curly ones. In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, the background is now purple and it acts as a sequel to Rhythm Tweezers.

Gameplay
As the image scrolls to a vegetable, several hairs, both straight and curly, appear in a rhythmic pattern. To pluck the curly hairs, press and hold A button until it's plucked. You can use D-Pad to do so, too. After the pattern ends, a pair of hair clippers will start to scroll around the vegetable. The player must repeat the rhythm they were given to pluck the hairs. Curly hairs sometimes also appear, which require the player to hold down the button.

Button Mode

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

Simple Tap Mode

 * Tap: Pluck hairs
 * Hold Stylus: Pull 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.

Header

 * "ムダ毛　チェック" (Useless Hairs Check)

Try Again

 * "しっかり　ぬいてください. " (Please pluck them properly.)
 * "ながい毛が　処理できてません. " (The long hairs weren't taken care of.)

 * "とりあえず．．．" (Anyway...)
 * "よしと　します. " (You did your best.)

OK

 * "Eh. Passable."

Superb

 * "Precisely plucked!"
 * "Good work on the curly ones."

Skill Star
When you are at the potato with one hair at the beginning and end with a bunch in the middle pluck the last one at the right moment to collect the star.

Rhythm Tweezers 2P
Rhythm Tweezers also appears in the 2P mode of Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade) where it is referred to as Rhythm Tweezers 2P (リズム脱毛 2P). Each vegetable is done in turns, first by P1 and then by P2. As a result, the game is twice as long as the 1P version.
