— Cheese Heist Description

Template:Minigame infoboxStealth Rat (こっそりラット^?, Kossori Ratto; nicknamed Cheese Heist by fans) is the ninth game in 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.

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.

Appearances

• Remix 2
• Remix 6
• Remix 8

Trivia
