"This is the big finale under the big top! This acrobat is not monkeying about!"

- Animal Acrobat Description Animal Acrobat ( known as Midair Trapeze in Japan: 空中ブランコリン "air trapeze") is the 51st minigame that has been introduced in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. This game tells about a monkey who wants to be a star in his circus debut.

A sequel later appears in Left-Hand Tower under the title Jungle Gymnast.

Gameplay
The player controls a monkey who must reach to the gorilla at the end of the game. Press A button to grab and hold an elephant's trunk and then release it properly not to fall down. And when it's a giraffe, press and hold A button to grab its head in order to release it and aim for the fire ring.

Button Mode

 * Press and hold A: Grab trunk or giraffe's head
 * Release A: Reach to another animal or to the fire ring

Simple Tap Mode

 * Press and hold Stylus: Grab trunk or giraffe's head
 * Release Stylus: Reach to another animal or to the fire ring

Timing Notes

 * Hit: The monkey catches or launches successfully from an animal and do a backflip.


 * Barely: The monkey catches or launches barely from an animal with a "tik" sound. Sometimes, the audience will laugh at the player. A barely counts as a miss.


 * Miss: The monkey fails to catch an animal or to launch from one and falls to the bottom of the screen. He will return for the next animal to catch by jumping.

Rating Notes

 * Try Again: "Wait! I can do better! Come back!"
 * OK: "Flying high!"
 * Superb: "Let's start that circus we've always dreamed of!"
