}}'''Monkey Watch''' is the ninth game in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''. The game is about a new type of wrist watch called the monkey watch that is being worn on someone's wrist during the game. Getting a [[perfect]] on Monkey Watch earns the [[gift ]]'Ad Copy'. This is far easier said than done. In fact most players use Bartisa to skip it.

{{Nihongo|Monkey Watch|さる時<ruby>計<rt>どけい</rt></ruby>|Saru Dokei}} is the 4th [[Rhythm Game]] of Stage 2 (9th overall) in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' and the 2nd of [[Shop No. 6]] (107th overall), costing 10 [[Flow Ball]]s, in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
A monkey (the character played in this game) is holding onto the watch's clock hand. As the hand is ticking around the clock, other monkeys will come out to greet the main monkey with a high-five to represent the time change on the wrist watch. The monkey hanging onto the clock hand must high-five back. On occasion, two consecutive pink monkeys will appear instead of yellow ones, cued by an "Oookii oook-ook!" sound. These act as offbeats, making the player tap A twice to high-five both monkeys before going back to the regular beat.

The clock hand makes two-and-a-half rotations around the watch in the duration of the song. As it progresses, the games obscures the visuals; quarter-way through the second rotation and at the end of the song, the screen zooms out to show the wholewatch on a man's arm (also showing a monkey face in the middle of it), making it much harder to see the monkeys. After the first zoom-out, a monkey in a balloon will start flying around waving at the screen; this can completely cover up the monkeys as you try to high-five them.
In order to operate the monkey watch itself, the player controls a [[Small Monkeys|Small Monkey]] holding onto the watch's hand. As the hand is ticks around the clock, other monkeys come out to greet the main monkey with a high-five to represent the time change on the wrist watch. On occasion, two consecutive pink monkeys appear instead of yellow ones, cued by an "Oookii oook-ook!" sound. These act as offbeats.


In the middle of the game, the screen zooms out to show the whole watch on a man's arm (also showing a monkey face in the middle), making it much harder to see the monkeys. After this, a monkey in a balloon appears, flying around waving at the screen.

*Monkey Watch gets referenced in the Read Something "A Musical Term" (gotten by perfecting [[Karate Man 2]]), where [[Mr. Upbeat]] is talking to one (as evidenced by an "Oookii oook-ook!" sound) about his problems.
*The furigana on the prologue in ''[[Minna no Rhythm Tengoku]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+]]'' is placed only above the second kanji rather than the whole word for stylistic reasons. If corrected, it would be written as {{Nihongo|さる<ruby>時計<rt>とけい</rt></ruby>}}.
*The pink monkeys that serve as off-beats have the apperance the monkeys in [[Tap Dance]]'s sequel, Super Tap, in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]''.
*The girl that appears on the [[Try Again]] epilogue to this game has the same hairstyle as [[Pop Singer]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'''s version of [[Fan Club]].

*The Monkey Watch gets referenced in [[A Musical Term]], where [[Mr. Upbeat (character)|Mr. Upbeat]] is talking to one about his problems<ref>"Do you ever have problems like this? Do people just look at you and assume that you're into, I dunno, copying what people do?" "Oookii oook-ook!" "Right, right. My therapy is about me and my problems, not you." ~ [[A Musical Term]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''.</ref>.

**Monkey Watch is also mentioned in [[Bossa Nova#Endless Game|Bossa Nova]] at one point in ''[[Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise]]''<ref>"Nova went out shopping after lunch. Recently, her Monkey Watch had worn out so she went to get the monkeys changed." ~ [[Bossa Nova#Endless Game|Bossa Nova]], ''[[Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise]]''</ref>.

*In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the particles that come out when the monkeys high-five are stars instead of smack symbols. Due to this, the purple monkey's particles no longer fall off-screen.
*The song for this game appears in ''[[ssbwiki:Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' on the [[ssbwiki:Miiverse|Miiverse]] stage and in ''[[ssbwiki:Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', where it can play on the stages in the "[[ssbwiki:List of SSBU Music (Other series)|Other]]" category, as well as [[ssbwiki:Battlefield (SSBU)|Battlefield]], [[ssbwiki:Small Battlefield|Small Battlefield]], [[ssbwiki:Big Battlefield (SSBU)|Big Battlefield]] and [[ssbwiki:Final Destination (SSBU)|Final Destination]] since the [[ssbwiki:List of updates (SSBU)#8.1.0 |8.1.0 update]]. This version has been edited to loop and it features the sound effects of the high-fives of the [[Small Monkeys]] integrated into the actual track.
*The Monkey Watch doesn't run in seconds, as the tempo of the song is 160 BPM. It would run in seconds at 120 BPM.
