Sumo Brothers

Sumology (ごっつぁん兄弟 gottsuan kyoudai "thank you brothers") is a new Rhythm Game that appears in Rhythm Heaven: The Best +. In this game, the player controls a Sumo wrestler, who is in an intense (though evenly matched) Sumo Wrestling match with his opponent.

Gameplay

File:Sumology.png The player must follow rhythm cues from the dog in the center as follows:

• A don don don don (four drum beats) indicates slapping; after the fourth don, the player must press A every beat.
• A kon, kon (two woodblock beats) indicates stomping; after the second kon, the player must press A every other beat.
• A piiiiii~ (one long whistle) indicates posing; the beat after the end of the whistle trill, the player must press B to pose.

Controls

• A: Beat
• B: Pose

Hit or Miss

Hit: With the normal slap, the player's hand collides with the other Sumo's hands and creates a slapping sound. With the stomps, the player stomps in time with the other sumo and creates a strong stomping sound. With the pose, the player will pose along side the other sumo, before returning to slapping.

Barely: Slapping: N/A, With the stomping, the strong stomp sound is replaced with a quiet ticking sound and the player's eyes open wide. Pose: N/A

Miss: With the slapping, the player will lean backwards as a 'doink' sound replaces the slapping sound. With the stomping, the player will fall backwards, but quickly get back up. With posing, they will fail to make a good pose and will be replaced with an idiotic pose by the two.
