Rhythm Tweezers 2

Rhythm Tweezers 2 (かえってきた リズム脱毛), simply called Rhythm Datsumo (リズム脱毛) in Rhythm Tengoku, is the second minigame that appears in Rhythm Tengoku. It returns as the 38th minigame in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, as the normal variant of Rhythm Tweezers.

The topic of this game is plucking the hairs off of vegetables, as well as dealing with the curly ones. In Rhythm Tengoku, the arrange variation, Rhythm Datsumo 2, is unlocked later on.

Gameplay
This minigame starts with an image of a vegetable. Several hairs, both straight and curly, appear in a rhythmic pattern. After the pattern ends, a pair of hair clippers will start to scroll around the vegetable, making the player repeat the rhythm it was given to pluck the hairs. Curly hairs also appear, which require the player to hold down the button for longer.

While the gameplay is identical in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, the background is now purple instead of white, and the turnips are replaced with potatoes.

Skill Star
When the player is dealing with the potato with one hair at the beginning and the end, and a bunch of hairs between them, pluck the last hair at the right moment to collect the skill star.

Rhythm Datsumo TempoUpExtra2.png (リズム脱毛 TempoUpExtra2.png) is a variation of this game and the second in the Extra stage in Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade). In this variant, the tempo is faster, there's a new arrangement of the song, and the vegetables are replaced with a pumpkin, a radish and a watermelon.

Rhythm Datsumo 2P
Rhythm Datsumo also appears in the 2P mode of the arcade version of Rhythm Tengoku, where it is referred to as Rhythm Datsumo 2P (リズム脱毛 2P). Each vegetable is done in turns, first by Player 1 and then by Player 2. As a result, the game is twice as long as the regular version.
