— Quiz Show Description (Rhythm Heaven Megamix)

Template:Game-Nav Template:Game-Nav Template:Minigame infobox Quiz Show (クイズ^?, Quiz) is the 19th game in Rhythm Tengoku and the 93rd game in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. This game is about the Quiz Player who's participating in a quiz show where he must hit the buttons the same amount of times as the Quiz Host.

Gameplay

The host will hit the button a certain amount of times (first 18, then 28, then 43, with 0, 1, or 2 hits added to the end.) You then must match the amount of button presses under a time limit. However, you do not have to follow the host's rhythm. You may do the pattern any way you wish, as long as you get the correct number under the time limit. This is the only game in the franchise to do something like this. If you get the amount of hits wrong, the game ends.

Controls

Button Mode

• A: Hit the circle button
• D-Pad: Hit the + shaped button

Simple Tap

• Tap: Hit one of the buttons

Timing Notes

Because the game is based on ending with the same number as the host, and not on the timing of individual presses, the timing notes are based on if the total at the end is right or wrong

• Hit: The host's podium reveals the same number as the player's, both of them smile, and a victory jingle plays.
• Barely: You can't get a barely in Quiz Show.
• Miss: The host's podium reveals a different number than the player's, both of them frown, a loss jingle is played, and the player is kicked out of the game to an OK or Try Again rating screen.

Trivia

• This game is very unique. It is the only minigame in the franchise to not have music playing throughout most of the minigame, only game where you do not need to follow the rhythm, possibly the only one to show the generic embodiment of a demon, and one of only two games that can end before it's supposed to, (The other being Night Walk).
• If you hit the buttons over 100 times, the counter will malfunction and break, following a series of destructive mishap with the set's equipment. (First it destroys your box, then the host's box, then the Quiz sign.)
• The game will even end if you get an answer in the practice wrong.
• This is the only rhythm game not to have a Skill Star for getting perfect timing on a specific input.

• The Try Again screen is a reference to Dribble and Spitz's intro in WarioWare, Inc. Mega Microgame$!.
• You can perfect this game by failing in the practice in the Megamix version, as seen in this video.
• In North American, European and Korean versions, the Quiz sign has the host's face and two melody notes on it instead of the words.
• The Quiz Show sprite sheet in Rhythm Heaven Megamix contains assets used only in Quiz Show Special, which isn't present in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
• The fanfare when a correct answer is given is reused in Charging Chicken.
