Rats

The rats (ねずみ) are three little mice who appeared in the minigame Rat Race in Rhythm Tengoku and Rhythm Heaven Megamix. Together, they sneak across a kitchen table to hide from a cat named Ms. Whiskers.

Physical Appearance
The Sneaky Rats consist of three mice; two are brown, and one, the player, is white. Despite being colored differently, the three mice have exactly the same body structure and appearances. They have short arms and legs and long, thin tails. They have oval shaped eyes and big round ears.

The white mouse is found in the middle of the line, between the two brown mice.

Backstory
The rats are sneaky, but they also bravely venture out to the "Ultra Dangerous Zone" where Ms. Whiskers usually is. They're risking life and limb to find food for their family. The stoplight they use is an antique, used to train young rats for many generations.

Trivia
During gameplay, if the player stops in such a way that a rat isn't covered up by dishes, those rats will cower in fear, and sweat profusely. Even if the player gets up to move behind cover, Ms. Whiskers will never attack. Additionally, the Epilogues show different outcomes regarding how much cheese the rats managed to take back. During gameplay, the rats always reach the cheese no matter how poorly the player performed. It is possible the player's performance determines how well the rats are able to bring the cheese back to their families.
