Big Rock Finish

"These ghosts are rocking out at a late-night show. Bedtime's coming, though, so they have to keep the songs on the short side."

- Big Rock Finish Description

Big Rock Finish (ショートライブ Shōto Raibu "short live") is the 22nd minigame in Rhythm Heaven and the 95th minigame in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. This game is all about three Tiny Ghosts who are rocking out at a late-night show on a table.

Gameplay
The player portrays one of the tiny ghosts: Ecto (the white ghost), who is in the front towards the right next to Boo-boo, a green one. The play is supposed to strum and jump in sync with the other tiny ghost in front. The drummer, Spooky, in the back, will count to 3 (although he sometimes goes 1, 2, 1, 2, 3), giving you the cue to start strumming. The signal is usually near the climatic ending of the background song. The first and fourth strums are worth two beats, while the second and third are worth one. There are a total of four strums.

Trivia

 * The orders of B to G music are usually played random whenever you play it, but beginning and final music are always played in right order.
 * The music in Remix 7 (DS) is an extended version of the first song played.
 * Unlike in Rhythm Heaven, the "Yeah! Yeah, yeah! Yeah!" cue presents its English dub in German, Spanish, French and Italian version in Megamix, but Spooky's voice was kept in European version.
 * The Japanese version has a different opening banner. Instead of ghosts on the letters, It is a spotlight on an empty table.
 * The title screen used for Megamix is the same as the Japanese one from the DS version.
