Similar to the [[Phone]] from ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', this toy is a cellular phone to that plays touch-tone sounds when the numbered buttons are pressed. 7 of the buttons contain three letters in alphabetical order, which are displayed on the phone's screen when pressed and can be cycled through. There is also a backspace button, a green "send" button, and an orange back button.

Throughout the game, the player may come across code words, which can be inputted into the phone and sent to begin a call. These phone calls are nothing more than easter eggs, reusing the sound effects from other [[Rhythm Games]]. The section below details the process the player is intended to go through to discover these code words, but they are not required to follow the steps to be able to input the codes.

Obtaining a [[Perfect]] on [[Remix 2 (Wii)|Remix 2]] gives the player the [[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven Fever)#Investigation Notes|Investigation Notes]] as a [[gift]], these notes providing the tip "It's July through November". The tip applies to the [[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven Fever)#Assembly-Line Slogans|Assembly-Line Slogans]] (obtainable as the [[Gift]] on [[Built to Scale 2 (Wii)|Built to Scale 2]]), where the player may notice each slogan has one word highlighted in red. These words can be inputted to receive a tip about a hidden code word in a specified [[Endless Game|game]]. The player may then go to that game and play far enough in to find the code word, then input that to receive a call. After the call ends, the man questions whether the call was relevant to the investigation, and returns to the keypad prompt.

Entering {{Nihongo|BOUTS|ねたばらし}} provides a call, which differs across regions. In ''[[Minna no Rhythm Tengoku]]'', a lyrical version of the [[Manzai]] theme is played. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', ''[[Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise]]'', and ''[[Rhythm Sesang Wii]]'', as [[Manzai]] was replaced, the call instead plays the [[Rhythm Fighter]] theme and depicts a "fight" between two randomly selected characters, each of whom have one attack (using sound effects from their respective games), who may randomly hit or miss the opponent. When one of the fighters is KOed, the call ends. The fighters include [[Forthington]], [[The Shrimp Scamperers]], the paddle used to build [[Widget]]s, the [[Dough Dudes]], the [[Small Monkeys]], and [[Karate Joe]].

In ''[[Minna no Rhythm Tengoku]]'', the code word is found in [[Manzai]], where it replaces the "SPEEDUP!" text after a certain amount of points. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', ''[[Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise]]'', and ''[[Rhythm Sesang Wii]]'', [[Manzai]] was replaced with [[Mr. Upbeat]], in which the titular character's green light expands and spells out the code word each 130 steps.

Playing through [[Pirate Crew]], the bridges which connect the ship to the island after a few voyadges begin to spell out the code word, two characters at a time.

Entering {{Nihongo|GOLFHERO|さむらいごるふ}} provides a call, In which [[Mandrill]] is heard throwing a ball, [[The Wandering Samurai]] seemingly hitting it with a bat, the ball dramatically flying through the air, and eventually going into the hole, prompting applause. Occasionally, the samurai misses the ball. Eventually, the samurai hits the ball, it flies off in another direction, and shatters glass. The samurai is distraught as the call ends.

Entering {{Nihongo|BIRDS|とりのたんばりん}} provides a call, in which a [[Monkey#Tambourine|Monkey]] is playing with a [[The Huebirds of Happiness|Huebird]]. The monkey plays a pattern, and the bird attempts to copy it; however, it ends up doing the squawking pattern at the end, ruining the routine. Eventually, the monkey plays the squawking at the end, allowing the bird to do the pattern correctly. The call then ends.

This code word is not hinted at within the game itself. Rather, hints are given out across ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'''s trailers on [https://www.youtube.com YouTube], in which various letters are highlighted.

Combining the highlighted letters gives the message "{{Color|red|TXT MSG "STAFF" ...IN A 7 MEDAL TOY!"}}, revealling the code word.

Entering {{Nihongo|STAFF|すたつふ}} provides a call, in which a picture of the game's staff (drawn in the game's artstyle) is presented.

*This [[Rhythm Toy]] may be a reference to the game [[wikipedia:Famicom Detective Club|Famicom Detective Club]], as they share a similar aesthetic, the theme of a detective agency receiving tips for their investigations, and similar music.
