Sick Beats

Sick Beats (バイキンはかせ) is the 4th Rhythm Game of Stage 2 (10th overall) in Rhythm Tengoku.

Gameplay
In this game, the player controls a doctor protecting a yellow micro-organism by stabbing viruses with forks. They use ✚ to shoot the viruses from one of four directions, depending on their placement on the map. If even a single virus gets to the end, the organism will pop.

Trivia

 * This is the first game to not use Ⓐ in Rhythm Tengoku.
 * This game is uniquely set up like a tower defense game.
 * While stabbing a virus, followed by an off-beat virus, a star appears next to the doctor as he blushes.
 * Although only blue viruses appear in the normal version of the game, a black virus appears in Remix 7.
 * The music used in the Endless Game in Rhythm Tengoku is a slightly remixed version of the normal music. In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, the music is the same as the original, except for the addition of an ending note in the Gatekeeper Trio's Trials.
 * This is the only Endless Game in Rhythm Heaven Megamix whose Trial goal isn't to reach a certain score, but rather to reach the end. The trials last two loops of the game's music, just as long as the Rhythm Game from Rhythm Tengoku. However, the arrangement of the viruses doesn't match it in any of the trials.
 * This is one of the few games that doesn't feature a Practice in Rhythm Tengoku.
 * This was changed in the arcade version and in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
 * This is the only Rhythm Game in Rhythm Heaven Megamix to return as its Endless Game instead of the normal Rhythm Game. Quiz Show, Shoot'-Em-Up and Bossa Nova also have Endless Games, none of which were in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
 * In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, all of the Endless Games have an unused description intended to be seen at the Museum. Normally they are the same as that of the Saffron Trial, but for Sick Beats, it matches that of the Paprika Trial in the Japanese and Korean versions, and is unique in every other language.
