Pajama Party

"Let's be honest, everything, including pajama partys, is better with monkeys. ESPECIALLY pajama partys."

- Pajama Party Description Pajama Party (Japanese: パジャマズ Pajamas) is the 66th minigame introduced in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. In this game, the player controls a girl in pajamas (Mako in Japan), who is having a pajama party with a group of monkeys.

Gameplay


The player will have to pose at the same time as the monkeys in the row or column that most move, similar to Cheer Readers. This may involve jumping by pressing A button, or going to bed also pressing A at the right moment. Also, the scenery will take you into the dreamland after throwing up the pillow which is done by holding and releasing B button. In dreamland, you are a princess, while the monkeys are gentlemen when you must keep doing jumping and throwing the pillow in order to wake up.

Dreamland Transformation
If the player does not throw the pillow the first time it is cued, the princess dreamland transformation will not take place.

Dreamland Background
Ocean sunfish, tuna or galleons can be seen flying in the sky in dreamland. The fish/ship that can be seen is selected at random for each playthrough.

Button Mode

 * A: Jump or go to sleep
 * Hold B: Prepare to throw
 * Release B: Throw the pillow

Simple Tap Mode

 * Tap: Jump or go to sleep
 * Hold Stylus: Prepare to throw
 * Release Stylus: Throw the pillow

Timing Notes

 * Hit: When jumping, the girl will jump at the same height as the other monkeys. When throwing her pillow, the girl will throw it and grab it at the same time as the monkeys. When the going to sleep, the girl will go to sleep at the same time as the monkeys.


 * Barely: The girl will jump, but at a considerably low height depending on if the player was late or early. When throwing her pillow, the girl throws the pillow, but it will barely leave her hands. When trying to sleep, the girl lands her head too early or late on the pillow and does not sleep. In all three cases, the girl will have an embarrassed expression after each action. A barely counts as a miss?


 * Miss: If the player does nothing when the monkeys jump, the girl will stumble over with a look of surprise on her face; this also happens if the player does nothing when throwing the pillow. If the player throws the pillow when they are not supposed to, the girl will toss her arms up, but the pillow falls to the ground. When trying to sleep, if the player sleeps off beat, the girl will crash onto the pillow in an odd pose accompanied with a cymbal sound. If the player does nothing when trying to sleep, the girl falls asleep sitting up with a frown on her face.

Rating Notes

 * Try Again: "Wait for me, bus!"
 * OK: "Mmrmphrmph..."
 * Superb: "Rise and shine!"

Skill Star
After throwing the pillow the first time throw it perfectly the second time to collect the star.
