Fruit Basket

Fruit Basket (フルーツバスケット Fruit Basket) is the eighth minigame introduded in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. In this game, the player controls Courtney, the blue ground, who is bouncing fruits to get it into the basketball net outside in a happy looking field.

A sequel later appears in Machine Tower under the title Fruit Basket 2.

Gameplay
Courtney must bounce fruits to the beat as they roll across him. Pressing A will bounce the fruit off of his head and into the basketball net.

There are two kinds of fruits: apples, which have a normal beat, and lemons, which are on the offbeat. Note that the melons do not appear in this variant.

Button Mode

 * A: Dunk the fruit

Simple Tap Mode

 * Tap: Dunk the fruit

Timing Notes

 * Hit: The fruit successfully gets bounced and shoots onto the basketball net.
 * Barely: The fruit bounces but misses the basket for being too late or too early, and Courtney has a shocked/dazed look on his face. A barely counts as a miss.
 * Miss: The fruit is utterly missed and passes right by.

Try Again

OK

 * "Eh. Passable."

Superb

 * "Woohoo!" Fresh-squeezed goodness!"

Skill Star
The Skill Star can be collected when you bounce two lemons at the very end of the minigame.
