Bouncy Road

"The bouncing balls need your help. They're good to us, so don't drop them!"

- Bouncy Road Description (Rhythm Tengoku)

"See that ball bouncing down the road? You wouldn't want to let it fall...would you?"

- Bouncy Road Description (Rhythm Heaven Megamix

Bouncy Road (ホッピングロード) is the 19th game in Rhythm Tengoku and the 91st in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. In this game, two Sphere Dudes need your help to bounce off the balls that bounce down the road. Don't let them roll off. A sequel appears later on in Rhythm Tengoku called Bouncy Road 2.

Gameplay
The game features a long, curving stretch of circular platforms. From the furthest platform, a ball spawns and begins to bounce along each of the platforms getting closer and closer to the screen. At the center and closest part of the screen is a yellow pole alongside a red pole. As the ball approaches, it will bounce along the other platforms in a rhythmic rhythm, until finally approaching the yellow and red ones, where the player must simultaneously use the  A button   and  D-Pad   respectfully to carry the ball across the end of the curve. The minigame lasts for just about a minute, with the balls varying in both speed and numbers throughout!
