Shoot-'em-up

Invasion alert! Invasion alert! Scramble fighters, STAT! Or...practice first, and then scramble. Whatever works for you.

— Shoot-'em-up Description

Shoot-'em-up (シューティング shutingu "shooting") is the 11th minigame and it's a variant of Shoot-'Em-Up from Rhythm Heaven that appears in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. The player controls a Blastronaut in a spaceship on an important mission to stop the aliens from invading Earth with little help of Shoot-'Em-Up Radio Lady.

A sequel later appears in Citrus Tower under the title Shoot-'em-up 2.

Gameplay

File:Story shoot em up gameplay.png

This game is played in first person view from the spaceship. A varying number of aliens will appear on the screen one by one in groups. All aliens have appeared when the music reaches the end of its chorus. The player must then repeat the number and time they appeared, relying on the rhythm of the music. If a beat is missed, that alien will escape and damage your spaceship. Pressing A or D-Pad will shoot and destroy an alien. Notice that there are only two waves of aliens coming in two verses in this game instead of three.
