Rat Race

Rat Race (こっそりラット) is the 3rd Rhythm Game of Stage 2 (9th overall) in Rhythm Tengoku and the 1st Rhythm Game of Donut Tower (48th overall) in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.

Gameplay
The three Rats run across a very, very long kitchen table. During the Practice and Remixes (and in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, the first half of the game), the frontmost rat uses a stoplight to give signals. Ms. Whiskers repeatedly pops up to try to catch the rats, and when she appears, they need to stop behind a stack of plates. The music goes quiet for a few bit before it starts building up, and the rats prepare to run off.

Skill Star
The Skill Star appears on the second stop after the stoplight is thrown away.

Challenge Land
appears in the following Challenge Train courses:
 * Game Gamble: Intermediate
 * Rhythm Safari

Kossori Rat 2P
Kossori Rat 2P (こっそりラット 2P) is the 2nd Rhythm Game of Stage 2 (6th overall) in the 2P mode of Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade).

It plays the same as the 1P version, but there is a second set of rats, with both players controlling the white rats. Interestingly, while most 2P games show a How to Play video instead of a Practice, Kossori Rat 2P shows a How to Play video, and a Practice right after.

Trivia

 * When the Rats stop, the stoplight shows three red lights. In Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade), the lights stay off while the Rats are stopped. This is reverted back to showing red lights in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
 * The How to Play video for Kossori Rat 2P shows red lights, however.
 * The Rats make a cameo in Freeze Frame, where they sometimes appear in the photos.
 * Ms. Whiskers makes a cameo in Wake-Up Caller, sometimes appearing at the window.
 * Bunny Hop, Fan Club 2, Quiz Show, Big Rock Finish, and this game are the only games to receive remixed music in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
