Micro-Row 2 (Wii)

""Unbelievable! The microbe's behavior has changed! It's somewhat more... jaunty. We'll have to study them closely.""

- Micro-Row 2 Description (US version)

Micro-Row 2 (小さないきもの2 Chisana Ikimono 2 ?, "small living things 2") is the 47th minigame in Rhythm Heaven Fever. It is the sequel to Micro-Row. The behavior of microbes has changed, and they can U-turn to the beat. Keep an eye on them!

Appearance/Gameplay Differences
Other than the path the microbes take, there are no major visual differences.

The game is the same gameplay-wise as the original, requiring the your microbe to launch to the beat while listening for cues. However, the game does something unique by having a tutorial before the game starts. The tutorial teaches a new cue, two notes in quick succession. When this cue happens, the microbes will quickly launch forward twice (this is faster the the three-hit cue), requiring the player to do so as well. The song incorporates this cue while also having the other two cues as well.

Controls

 * A: Launch forward

Timing Notes

 * Hit: The microbe will dash forward along with the other two microbes around it.
 * Barely: The microbe slightly falls behind and lightly bumps into the microbe behind it if it goes too early. If it goes too late, it bumps into the microbe in front of it. A barely counts as a miss?
 * Miss: The microbe is pushed forward by the one behind by bumping into it.
