Gameplay

File:Fork Lifter 3DS.PNG

The player controls a person's hand holding a fork in the front of a wide blank table. On the other side of the table, a hand is shown through a zooming bubble. When the game starts, the hand will flick pieces of food (mostly pea-like objects with a mini-hamburger at one point) towards the fork. The player will have to get the right timing and spear the food on the fork as it zooms towards it. If food is successfully caught, it stays on the fork until three or four pieces are on it, in which the hand will lift and the person will eat the food. The speed the peas move at is always the same, but how many and the spacing between them varies.

Controls

• Ⓐ/Tap: Stab food

Timing Display

• Perfect!/Ace!: The fork will spear the food precisely on the center prong. If all the food on a forkful is gotten this way, the person will gulp down the food when it is eaten.
• Early!/Late!: The food will be caught in between two prongs, the two depending on if it was speared too early or late. If a piece of food is on a forkful this way, the person will cough when the food is eaten. A barely counts as a miss.
• Miss...: The food will zoom past the fork and an audience will groan.

Fork Lifter (くしざし^?, Kushizashi) is the 3rd Two-Player Rhythm Game in Rhythm Heaven Fever.

Similar to the original, but now there are two forks catching peas. P1 has a blue fork on the left and P2 has an orange fork on the right. The hand shooting peas is now in the center and shoots two peas at a time to both players. At some points, one of the forks will move off-screen, leaving only one player to catch peas.

Trivia

• The name "Fork Lifter" is an obvious pun to a forklift operator.
• This game was originally called "High-Speed Peas" as seen in preview versions of the game.
• According to debug notes found in the files of Rhythm Heaven Megamix, this game, among others, would have a short variant in that game but got cut for unknown reasons.
• This game has slightly been upgraded in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, in which there are outlines added in the table, while the original didn't have those at all.
  • This is likely to help the player judge distance better, especially due to the 3DS having a smaller screen.
• Unlike real-life forks (and more like a trident), the fork has 3 prongs instead of 4. This might be done to make the visual cues better.
