Figure Fighter 3

"The problem with being the champ is that everyone wants to take your title away from you. Defend it! (No practice.)"

- Figure Fighter 2 Description (Rhythm Heaven Fever) "This is it! The final bout for tiny, inflatable glory! Will you retire in triumph or disgrace? (No practice)"

- Figure Fighter 3 Description (Rhythm Heaven Megamix) Figure Fighter 3 (マッスル人形チャンピオン Massuru Ningyou Chanpion, "Muscle Doll Champion"), known in Rhythm Heaven Fever as Figure Fighter 2 (Japanese: マッスル人形2 Massuru Ningyou 2, Muscle Doll 2), is the 46th minigame in Rhythm Heaven Fever and the 78th minigame in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. It is the threequel to Figure Fighter 2. Finally, the Muscle Doll has become a worldwide champion, but he must defend himself during his championship battle. How much can the champ handle the distance?

Appearance/Gameplay Changes
The only changes to the game's appearance are recolored things. The Muscle Doll himself is now tan with red clothes, the punching bag is blue, and the background is mostly tan/yellow. The base gameplay is the same, as the original; the player needs to puff up the doll as he punches to hit the bag, following the announcer's cues. However, the first part of the game has several cues for the player to make, while the screen is still black and partially darkened. This requires the player to not get caught off guard, and hit the beats without visuals. The game's cues are mostly consecutive offbeat as well.

Button Mode

 * A: Press button

Timing Notes

 * Hit: The button pumps him up to be more muscular simultaneously with his jab.
 * Barely: The figure's pumping is delayed with a popping noise, depending on if you were early or late. A barely counts as a miss.
 * Miss: The figure hits the punching bag without pumped up arms.
