Munchy Monk

"Your training takes place deep in the mountains. We call it monk training, but it's really just eating dumplings all day. Enjoy!"

- Munchy Monk Description

Munchy Monk is the name of the sixteenth game in Rhythm Heaven for the DS. It features a monk training in the art of eating dumplings. A sequel is unlocked later called Munchy Monk 2.

Gameplay
The Munchy Monk raises out his hand as a person continuously gives him dumplings to eat. He will give the Munchy Monk either one, two, or three dumplings in a row. The monk eats the dumplings by slapping his wrist in order to pop the dumpling in his mouth. To do this correctly, the player must time it right by only tapping the touch screen right after the person says "Go!".

The rhythm tempo will increase depending on the number of dumplings he gives him at a time. The three different tempos are:


 * "One, go!": The person gives the monk one white dumpling. These are always consecutive, and require tapping at a constant pace.
 * "Three, go, go, go!": The person gives the monk three green dumplings in a row. These require faster tapping to eat them all.

Controls

 * Tap: Slap wrist

Hit or Miss

 * Hit: The dumpling flies into the mouth of the Monk and he successfully swallows it.
 * Barely: The dumpling flies and hits the Monk's nose in which he exclaims in surprise. A barely counts as a miss.
 * Miss: The dumpling falls out off the Monk's hand.

Rating Notes

 * Try Again: "You are in grave danger!"
 * OK: "You have achieved total fullness!"
 * Superb: "Now YOU are the master!"

Trivia

 * Munchy Monk makes an appearance in Rhythm Heaven Fever. In the game Packing Pests, he can be seen as the employee that is packing the candy. The credits call him by a different name, though.
 * Munchy Monk gets its own Endless Game spinoff in Rhythm Heaven Fever, although it has only some resemblance to the original game, mostly being entirely new. Munchy Monk himself also appears in this game, but he looks somewhat different than he did in Packing Pests.
