Rhythm Heaven Megamix

Rhythm Heaven Megamix (リズム天国ザ・ベスト+ Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus) also known as Rhythm Paradise Megamix in Europe, is the fourth game in the Rhythm Heaven Series. It was released on June 11th, 2015 in Japan, June 16, 2016 during the E3 announcement and is set to be released on October 21, 2016 in Europe, and the dates to be released in Australia and South Korea are currently unknown.

This game includes 70 minigames from the previous three Rhythm Tengoku games, 20 new minigames and 10 updated versions of older games.

Story Mode
In the single player Story mode of the game, the player helps a character named Tibby get back to Heaven World 天の国 (Ten no Kuni, a pun on 天国 tengoku) by completing various rhythm games. On his way, he meets various characters, such as Boondog and Dieter, who guide him through their various lands; as well as the Gatekeeper Trio, which consists of Saffron, Saltwater, and Paprika.

Challenge Land
Challenge Land is a new feature in Megamix. Here, the player may board the Challenge Train, where the player must beat a series of minigames, usually with modified rules and tempo. Additionally, if the Perfect Campaign is up, it can be challenged here. Challenge Land becomes playable once the player clears the Lush Tower.

List of Rhythm Games
Majority of the games appear in Story Mode, where they are grouped into places of four: one Rhythm Tengoku game, one Rhythm Heaven game, one Rhythm Heaven Fever game, and one new game.

NOTE: If the game is marked with (Story), this means that this is a variant of the original minigame, with a new song and considerably easier challenge. Games that are titled with "Returns" are the original variants of the song. Is it marked like this to avoid confusion, as some minigames, like the entirety of Donut Land, are their original variants.

Lush Tower
After the Lush Tower is cleared, the credits roll and Tibby makes it back to Heaven World... Well, almost. But, new minigames get unlocked.

Songbird Tower
After the six rainbow towers are cleared, the credits roll and Tibby makes it back to Heaven World. Plus, new minigames get unlocked.

Cafe

Extra Games
Extra Games can be bought from the Museum shop with Flow Balls found by playing Challenge Land's Perfect Campaign and Challenge Train. All extra games are returning minigames from the previous games in the series.
