Bouncy Road (ホッピングロード) is the 19th game in Rhythm Tengoku and the 91st in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. In this game, two Sphere Dudes need your help to bounce off the balls that bounce down the road. Don't let them roll off. A sequel appears later on in Rhythm Tengoku called Bouncy Road 2.

Gameplay
The game features a long, curving stretch of circular platforms. From the furthest platform, a ball spawns and begins to bounce along each of the platforms getting closer and closer to the screen. At the center and closest part of the screen is a yellow pole alongside a red pole. As the ball approaches, it will bounce along the other platforms in rhythm, until finally approaching the yellow and red ones, where the player must simultaneously use the A button and D-Pad respectfully to carry the ball across the end of the curve.

Button Mode

 * D-Pad: Bounce Red Pole
 * A: Bounce Yellow Pole

Simple Tap Mode

Timing Notes

 * Hit: The ball bounces off the platform and continues its journey.
 * Barely: The ball will bounce off the platform, but make a faltering noise and fall. A barely counts as a miss.
 * Miss: The balls hits the platform and just rolls off.

Trivia

 * Strangely, the epilogues for this game in Rhythm Heaven Megamix have the Sphere Dudes smiling no matter what, while in Rhythm Tengoku, they have different expressions.
