- Sneaky Spirits 2 Description (Rhythm Heaven Megamix)

Sneaky Spirits 2 (かえってきた しろいおばけ), known in Rhythm Tengoku and Rhythm Heaven Fever as Sneaky Spirits  (しろいおばけ), not to be confused with the sequel in Rhythm Tengoku, is the 7th minigame in Rhythm Tengoku, the 2nd Extra game in Rhythm Heaven Fever unlockable with 38 Medals, and the 53rd miningame and sequel to Sneaky Spirits in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. It's a rainy day and it looks like the ghosts are trying to escape. Your job is to not let them get pass by you or else they will make a big mess.

Gameplay
The player controls a bow and arrow that is being used just outside in front of the house, always aimed at the door. Ghosts will start to peak above the wall and slowly creep towards the other wall. The player must time each arrow shot, on the eighth beat, to the ghost's rhythm before they zoom to the other wall. The ghost's pace will increase and decrease during the game. Successfully shooting the ghost will result in the door opening and the ghost being thrown back into the house.

Button Mode

 * A: Shoot arrow

Simple Tap Mode

 * Tap: Shoot arrow

Timing Notes

 * Hit: Depending how perfectly the player hits the beat. The arrow hits the ghost squarely in the nose, on the cheek, in the stomach or in the tail. The ghost is then flung through the door of the house.
 * Barely: The ghost manages to zip past the arrow, and shudders before escaping. A barely counts as a miss.
 * Miss: The ghost zips through and giggles.

- Sneaky Spirits 2P Description

Sneaky Spirits also appears in the 2P mode of Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade) where it is referred to as Sneaky Spirits 2P (しろいおばけ 2P). It plays the same as the 1P version, but much like Rhythm Tweezers 2P, both players take turns on every two ghosts. This effectively doubles the length of the game.

Trivia

 * There is a practice music for this game found in the files of Rhythm Heaven Megamix, but it goes unused.
