Sneaky Spirits 2 (かえってきた しろいおばけ^?, Kaettekita Shiroi Obake), known in Rhythm Tengoku and Rhythm Heaven Fever as Sneaky Spirits (しろいおばけ^?, Shiroi Obake), not to be confused with the sequel in Rhythm Tengoku, is the 7th minigame in Rhythm Tengoku, the 2nd Extra game in Rhythm Heaven Fever, unlocked with 38 Medals, and the 53rd minigame and sequel to Sneaky Spirits in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. It's a rainy day and it looks like the ghosts are trying to escape. Your job is to not let them get by you.

Gameplay

The player controls a bow and arrow that is being used just outside in front of the house, aimed at the door. Ghosts will start to peek above the left wall and slowly creep towards the other wall. The player must time each arrow shot on the eighth beat of each ghost's rhythm before they zoom to the other wall. The ghost's pace will increase and decrease throughout the game. Successfully shooting the ghost will result in the door opening and the ghost being thrown back into the house.

Controls

Button Mode

• A: Shoot arrow

Simple Tap Mode

• Tap: Shoot arrow

Timing Notes

• Hit: Depending on how perfectly the player hits the beat, the arrow will hit the ghost squarely in the nose, on the cheek, in the stomach or in the tail. The ghost is then flung through the door of the house.
• Barely: The ghost manages to zip past the arrow, and shudders before escaping. A barely counts as a miss.
• Miss: The ghost zips through and giggles.

— Sneaky Spirits 2P Description

Sneaky Spirits also appears in the 2P mode of Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade) where it is referred to as Sneaky Spirits 2P (しろいおばけ 2P^?, Shiroi Obake 2P). It plays the same as the 1P version, but much like Rhythm Tweezers 2P, both players take turns on every two ghosts. This effectively doubles the length of the game.

Trivia

• Just like Air Rally 2, this game does not have a new practice in Megamix, despite having a new cue (the ghosts hiding & silencing the music).
• There is practice music for this game in the files of Rhythm Heaven Megamix, but it went unused.
