Frog Hop

"These frogs really tear up the stage, but what really sells it are the backup dancers! Dance away, and set that stage on fire!"

- Frog Hop Description (Rhythm Heaven)

Frog Hop (ケロケロダンス Kero kero dansu "ribbit dance") is a the 24th minigame in Rhythm Heaven and the 59th minigame in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. In this game, you are playing as a backup dancer, (a green frogette on the right), who must dance and shake his hip with the other dancers during the stage. The song in this game is "Young Love Rock'n'Roll". A sequel is unlocked later known as Frog Hop 2.

Gameplay
The player controls a backup dancer on the right of the stage. As the blue frog sings, the player must tap the screen in time to swing the frog's hips. In addition, the female frog will occasionally chant ou a move for the player to repeat:
 * "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!": The player must tap three times very quickly.
 * "Yahoo!" / "Come On!": The player must tap twice in a "swinging 8ths" pattern.
 * "Spin it, boys!": The player must spin and pick up the beat again by holding the Stylus and flick it.

Timing Notes

Trivia

 * The lead singer is also the frog who speaks at the beginning of Rhythm Heaven and after Remix 6.
 * In the Japanese DS version, there is a "Yahoo!" cue during the "Don't you know that that is just so square?", but in American and European versions, this cue was removed and replaced with standard hip shaking for unknown reasons. However, it is present in Megamix.
 * The "tink" sound effect when the backup dancer goes offbeat was replaced with a different sound effect that can be heard in Working Dough and Cheer Readers in Megamix.
 * When going for a perfect in Rhythm Heaven, the game doesn't care about whether or not you got a barely, considering this game is very hard. This also applies to Lockstep, Lockstep 2, Frog Hop 2, Shoot-'Em-Up, and Shoot-'Em-Up 2.
 * This was changed in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
