Hole in One

"You know what will really improve your gold game? Timing your swings to music!"

- Hole in One Description

Hole in One (ホールインワン Horu in wan "hole in one")  is the first rhythm game played in Rhythm Heaven Fever. Practice mode starts with the character monkey introducing the main concept of the rhythm games and explaining how rhythm tempos may change while playing the games. In Hole in One, he teaches the golfer (the character played in the game) how to golf. The sequel Hole in One 2 is unlocked later on. Getting a perfect on this game earns "Golfing Lessons".

Gameplay
Monkey throws golf balls toward the player, who must hit them into the golf hole. The rhythm tempo changes when Mandrill takes over and throws the ball much more aggressively.

Controls

 * A: Swing golf club

Hit or Miss

 * Hit: The player will hit the golf balls over to the island. Depending on how precise you hit it, the zoom bubble will show it either fall right in the hole and clink on the sides, roll around the hole's edge and then fall in, or land right next to the hole and zoom into it.
 * Barely: The player will hit the golf balls, but they will be either knocked to the left or right (depending on how early or late it it hit), landing in water. A barely counts as a miss.
 * Miss: For small golf balls, they will roll past the player, with Monkey frowning. For Mandrill's throws, they will fly into the golfer's leg.

Rating Notes

 * Superb: Championship title, here we come!
 * OK: That was a great swing!


 * Try Again: This is even more painful than it looks...
