Catchy Tune

Catchy Tune

I like to hang out at the bottom of these stairs, because sometimes fruit bounces down them. Free fruit!

Rhythm Heaven Megamix

Catchy Tune (階段キャッチ^?, Kaidan Catch) is the 4th Rhythm Game in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. In this game, the player controls two characters, Praline & Araline, one with the letter "A" on their shirt, and one with a D-Pad "+" on their shirt, as they catch the pineapples and oranges that bounce off from the top of stairs in an alley in the city.

The normal variant later appears in Honeybee Tower under the name Catchy Tune 2.

Gameplay

The object of the game is to catch the fruit that drop from either the left or right sides of the screen. You use the D-Pad (+) for Praline to catch the ones on the left, and the A button for Araline to catch the ones on the right. The oranges are quick and bounce low (in three beats), but the pineapples are slower and bounce high (in three different beats).

Controls

• Ⓐ/Tap: Catch as Araline
• ✚/Tap: Catch as Praline

Timing Notes

• Perfect!/Ace!: The kid catches the fruit. If Praline and Arline catch fruit at the same time, they will face each other, smile, and share a word bubble with a heart in it.
• Early!/Late!: The kid's hands will cross over, and the fruit will fall behind the their head.
• Miss...: The fruit falls on the kid's head, causing them to flinch.
