Fillbots 2 (DS)

Fillbots 2 (ロボット第2工場 The Second Robot Factory) is the 37th minigame in Rhythm Heaven. It is the sequel to the original Fillbots. However, unlike the original, there is a new robot you need to fill up, and it is the smallest out of all the robots, requiring only one beat.

Gameplay
The Gameplay is exactly like the original Fillbots, in which you tap and hold the stylus to fill it up, and release to stop filling. Filling them too much or too little will not let it work, at which the robots emit an "error" noise. The length of the game is also extended longer than Fillbots. Lights will flicker out at a point during the game and only the fuel nozzle, the fuel, and the robots' eyes will be lit in the room. However, gameplay remains the same.

Controls

 * Tap & hold: Fill
 * Release: Quit Filling.

Timing Notes

 * Hit: The robot will be filled up, resuming down the conveyor belt or fly away.
 * Barely: The robot will appear dazed and tilts its head from side to side if underfueled. If it is overfueled, it will grab its head as if it were about to explode, with its eyes growing large and small. A barely counts as a miss.
 * Miss: If the arm fails to reach the robot, it will continue down the conveyor belt and tilt its head. When filled only a little, the robot will stand still, with X eyes. If filled way too much, the robot explodes.

Trivia

 * This holds the record of the longest minigame at 2:52 (except remixes) in the Rhythm Heaven franchise right behind Karate Man 2 (Wii) at 2:25 and Karate Man (Wii) at 2:14 and tied with Fan Club 2 at 2:14 and Frog Hop 2 at 2:12.
 * The level is also rather infamous for its many offbeat robots and darkness sections. Combined with the sheer amount of robots and the length of the game itself, Fillbots 2 has become a notorious game among fans.
 * The OK rating screen text "Nothing like a job well done!" will be used for Built to Scale as a superb rate text in Rhythm Heaven Fever.
 * According to debug notes found in the files of Rhythm Heaven Megamix, this game was supposed to come back and named as"Fillbots 3", but got cut for unknown reasons.
 * This is one of the four sequels in Rhythm Heaven to have a new cue and practice section. The other being Fan Club 2, Rhythm Rally 2, and Rockers 2.
