Launch Party

Launch Party (ロケットゼロ Roketo zero "Rocket Zero") is the 26th minigame in Rhythm Heaven Fever and the 65th minigame in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. This game is about launching miniature size rockets into outer space.

Gameplay
In the game, the player controls a square-shaped "launchpad" as it flies into space. As the launchpad flies, multiple kinds of rockets will pop up onto it. When a rocket appears on the launchpad, a countdown will appear on the launchpad's screen. The player needs to launch the rocket when the countdown reaches 0, launching it into space.

The are four different types of rockets, each with their own type of countdown.

-Red "Ship" Rocket: Counts down from 3, at the rate of one number per beat.

-Blue "Party Hat" Rocket: Counts down from 5, at a fast pace.

-Green "Bell" Rocket: Counts down from 7, at a very fast pace.

Grey "Bowling Pin" Rocket: Counts down from 1, at a very slow pace. Launches on the third beat.

The countdowns are used to help judge the time to launch, but are also to confuse; the timing for each rocket other than the red ones is roughly the same.

Button Mode

 * A: Launch Rocket

Simple Tap Mode

 * Tap: Launch Rocket

Timing Notes

 * Hit: The rocket is launched into space, accompanied by a sound.
 * Barely: The rocket flies up a little bit, but can't get far and falls quickly. A barely counts as a miss.
 * Miss: The rocket doesn't even get launched, and is bumped off by the next rocket.

Skill Star
When you are at the high speed part of the song after launching the green bell rocket, launch the red ship rocket perfectly to collect the star.

Two Player Mode
A version of the game can be unlocked in the two-player mode, requiring the completion of the original game and the previous two-player game, Flipper-Flop, to unlock.

The game has two launchers, with the first player's being blue, and the second's orange. Both launchers have rockets pop up on them to be launched. The rockets and timing for the players are the same, requiring them to launch at the same time. However, partway through the game, each player will end up moving far into the background; they still need to launch rockets, so they need to contend with both the other player and stars obscuring their view.
