Rat Race

Stealth Rat (こっそりラット) is the ninth game in Rhythm Tengoku.

Rhythm Tengoku
It's about three mice trying to find cheese while running and hiding from a cat.

Gameplay
The three mice will be running across a very, very long kitchen table. In practice, they will give you signals when you stop behind a stack of plates, but in the real game, there are no signals. It's appearances in remixes though, have signals in them. There is a cat trying to catch you, and when the cat pops up, you hold A to stop behind a plate. The music will go quiet for a few seconds, and you will hear the music building up, and the mice are in a position that they're about to run. You let go of A at the right time to get a clean getaway.

Controls

 * A: Stop or go

Hit or Miss

 * Hit: Nothing goes wrong and you get away from the cat.
 * Barely: You jump a little when you hide, and when you run, there is a "boing"ing sound.
 * Miss: You bump into one of the other two mice. When hiding the mouse you hit moves out of position, and when running, the mouse you hit does not run momentarily, but catches up fast.

Rating Notes

 * Try Again: "The important thing is that we're together."
 * OK: "I love you... and this cheese!"
 * Superb: "Want to hear about Daddy's big heist?"

Appearances

 * Remix 2
 * Remix 6
 * Remix 8

Trivia

 * The stealth rats make a cameo in Rhythm Heaven's Freeze Frame while sometimes appearing in the pictures the player takes.
