"You know who doesn't get enough support? People studying at the library. Let's cheer these dedicated students on!"

- Cheer Readers Description (Rhythm Heaven Fever)

Cheer Readers (図書ガールズ) is the 33rd minigame in Rhythm Heaven Fever and the 73rd minigame in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. This game is about School Library Pep Squad knows as "Cheer Readers" where the girls are cheering up people who study at the library. The sequel, Cheer Readers 2, is unlocked later on.

Gameplay
The player controls the twelfth (oldest) girl (bottom row, the farthest right). Throughout the song, there are many vocal cues in the form of "cheers" that indicate different patterns. To get a hit, the player must flip/spin their book at the right time. The cheers include:


 * "One! Two! Three!": Starting from the top, each row of girls flips their Cheer_Readers_3DS_gameplay.PNG on a word. The player needs to flip on the "Three!".
 * "It's up to you!" (Japanese: "Hey you can do!"): Starting from the left, each column of girls flips their book on a word. The player need to flip on the "you!".
 * "Let's go read a buncha books!" (Japanese: "Let's everybody go, yeah!"): Starting from the top left corner, the girls quickly flip their books as a "wave" in a diagonal pattern. The player needs to flip on the "books!".
 * "Rah-rah sis boom bah-BOOM!" (Japanese: "Ne-ver gi-ve up eh!"): Starting from the top left corner, the girls will do the motion in "Let's go read a buncha books!", but at a slower pace. The player needs to flip on the "BOOM!"
 * "OK, it's on!" (Japanese: "Okay, don't mind!"): This cue acts in a different way. Instead of flipping, the girls will instead spin their books and then open them to form a design (see the "Trivia" section for all the designs that appear). The player must start spinning on the "it's" and stop on the "on!".

Throughout the song, the player will have to perform a variety of these cheers. Each one always stays at the same speed, but the distance between cheers can vary.

Timing Notes

 * Hit: The Cheer Readers' routine will continue.
 * Barely: The player's Cheer Reader's book is slightly tilted. A barely counts as a hit. On the "Ok, it's on" the book will either show a different page than the rest of the group or be off-position. A barely counts as a miss, However it may result as an OK.
 * Miss: The player's Cheer Reader's book is only halfway flipped. When flipping the book open, the image on the Player's Cheer Reader's book won't match the other Cheer Readers' books and fails to complete the image. The other Cheer Readers will cast worried looks at the player's Cheer Reader. The player's Cheer Reader will also blush from embarrassment.
