{{Nihongo|Munchy Monk|しゅぎょう|Shugyō}} is the 1st [[Rhythm Game]] in the fourth stage (16th overall) in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and the 2nd of [[Comet Land]] (68th overall) in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.

The [[Munchy Monk (character)|Munchy Monk]] raises out his hand as off-screen people continuously give him dumplings to eat. He eats them by slapping his wrist precisely as the off-screen character says "Go!" to fling the dumplings in his mouth. There are three cues to follow:

*Training 1 [Eat one]: The monk receives a single white dumpling with a voice saying {{Nihongo|One! Go!|嘿呦！|hèi you}} to indicate the timing.

*Training 2 [Eat three]: The monk receives three green dumplings in a row with a voice saying {{Nihongo|Three! Go! Go! Go!|一，二，三，四！|yī, èr, sān, sì}} to indicate the timing.

*Training 3 [Eat two]: The monk receives two pink dumplings and must slap his wrist twice quickly to eat them. The voice says {{Nihongo|Two-two! Go! Go!|呦呦，咚咚|yòu yòu, dong dong}} to indicate the timing.

{{Controls|At=Slap wrist}}

==[[Timing Display]]==

|just=The dumpling flies into the monk's mouth and he successfully swallows it. If not interrupted, he blushes and smiles afterward while his mustache starts growing up.

|miss=The dumpling flies and hits the monk's nose, making it turn red as he frowns.

|through=The dumpling falls out of the Monk's hand (in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', this is also accompanied by a "doink" noise). If the player tries hitting the monk's hand just as the dumping is being placed on it, it hits him square in the face, with the monk looking confused.}}

==Trivia==

*This game is a parody on real ancient [[wikipedia:Monk|monks]], who (depending on the religion) starve themselves as part of their training, while here it's the opposite.

*In ''[[Rhythm Tengoku Gold]]'' and ''[[Rhythm World]]'', the announcer speaks in Chinese.

*Oddly, the player is able to flick in this game in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', despite this action not doing anything. This trait is shared with [[Shoot-'Em-Up (DS)|Shoot-'Em-Up]], [[Freeze Frame]] and [[Drummer Duel]]. All other games that don't use the flick don't allow the player to perform it.

**Excluding the ability to flick despite not needing to, this is one of the few games to keep the same controls from ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' to ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' in Simple Tap mode, alongside [[Shoot-'em-up 2]] and [[Freeze Frame]]. In addition, [[Fillbots 2|Fillbots]] and [[Lockstep]] keep the same controls completely.

*Since its inception, Munchy Monk has enjoyed perfect attendance in the series, re-appearing in both ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' (as an [[Munchy Monk (Wii)|Endless Game]]) and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''. It shares a similar status as the likes of [[Karate Man]], [[Samurai Slice]], and [[Built to Scale]].

*The game has the same rhythm as ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'''s [[Micro-Row 2 (Wii)|Micro-Row 2]].

*[[Employee #333-4-591032]] in [[Packing Pests]] bears a striking resemblance to the [[Munchy Monk (character)|Munchy Monk]]. Notably, both games involve characters using their hands, and both involve food in some way.

*This game appears in the "[[Wario...Where?]]" [[Challenge Train]] course, where the Monk is replaced by [[Master Mantis]]. [[Young Cricket]] can be seen riding a cloud in the background, similar to the [[Monkey]] in [[Final Remix]].

*This is the shortest game in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', lasting only 49 seconds.

**This also makes it the shortest long version game in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
