In this game, you play as a [[Reporter & Wrestler|wrestler being interviewed by a reporter]] after a match. When asked "Wubbadubbadubba, is that true?" ('''Japanese''': ペケペケペケですか? ''pekepekepeke desuka?'','' '''''Korean''': 그게 정말 사실인가요? ''geuge jeongmal sasil-ingayo?''), the player must simply nod "yeah". When complimented with a "Woah, you go, big guy!" ('''Japanese''': へえ~すごいですネ! ''Hee sugoi desu ne!'', '''Korean''': 와!대단하네요! ''wa!daedanhaneyo!'' ), the player must flex their bicep. Finally, when the photographers call out "Pose for the fans!" ('''Japanese''': こっち見て! ''Kotchi mite!,'' '''Korean''': 여기보세요! ''yeogiboseyo!''), the player must strike a pose.
[[File:Ringside_3DS_gameplay.png|thumb]]
 
This game revolves around a [[Reporter & Wrestler|Wrestler being interviewed by a Reporter]] after a match. There are three things the reporters may do:
Near the end of the game, the "pose for the fans" may be followed by a newspaper of the event with a photo taken from the event.
*{{Nihongo|'''"Wubbadubbadubba, 'zat true?"'''|ペケペケペケですか?|Pekepekepeke Desuka?}}{{Nihongo|그게 정말 사실인가요?|Geuge Jeongmal Sasil-ingayo?}}. The Wrestler is expected to nod with an affirmative-sounding grunt on the beat.
 
*{{Nihongo|'''"Whoa, you go, big guy!"'''|へえ~すごいですネ!|Hee Sugoi desu ne!}}{{Nihongo|와!대단하네요!|Wa! Daedanhaneyo!}}, the Wrestler is expected to flex and pose.
*{{Nihongo|'''"Pose for the fans!"'''|こっち見て!|Kotchi mite!}}{{Nihongo|여기보세요!|Yeogiboseyo!}}, which is said by other photographers, asks the Wrestler to strike a pose. Sometimes this is followed by a newspaper showing the photo.

{{Timing
*'''Early!/Late!''': Messing up on a "Wubbadubbadubba, is that true?" will cause the wrestler to cough when answering. Messing up on a "Woah, you go, big guy!" will cause only one part of the showing off to be done. Messing up on the "Pose for the fans!" will make only one person take a photo, which will be grayed and scratchy.
|Ace!=The player answers or flexes on the beat. A camera flash is seen. When posing for the fans, several pictures are taken and a radial background is shown. Sometimes, this background is replaced by a newspaper with the photo.
*'''Miss...''': Missing any command will cause the reporter to frown and give you a look. Using a command when not told to will make the wrestler look sideways while using the respond command, and either make the reporter nervous (respond command) or make her flinch back in shock (pose command).
|Early!/Late!=The wrestler coughs while answering. While flexing, the player flexes off the beat, as the Reporter makes an unamused face. While posing, the player poses off the beat, causing only one picture to be taken, and the screen turns grey and scratchy.
 
|Miss...=Missing any command makes the Reporter give an unamused face. Trying to answer when the player is not supposed to causes the Wrestler to look to the side while answering, causing the Reporter to look nervous. Posing when the player is not supposed to makes the Reporter flinch in shock. Missing a pose causes only one picture to be taken, and the screen turns grey and scratchy. Newspaper shots show the Wrestler in an embarrasing pose.}}

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Parodies of Ringside has appeared all over the Internet, particularly YouTube, showcasing a character and an odd phrase or personality trait of said character. This is documented on [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/x-interviews its page on Know Your Meme].
*The basis of this game stemmed from the idea of cutting of a wedding cake, as while one would be trying to concentrate on the cutting of the cake, wedding guests would take pictures and request the person's attention. The developers thought that the idea of a cake-cutting rhythm game didn't seem too promising and came up with the interview scenario instead<ref>[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wii/rhythmheavenfever/0/2 Iwata Asks - Rhythm Heaven Fever, 3. Wedding Cake and "Ringside".]</ref>.
*The newspaper that can pop up after a successful "Pose for the fans!" command says "Nintendo Times" on it, referencing the Rhythm Heaven series' developer and publisher company, [[wikipedia:Nintendo|Nintendo]].
*The newspaper after some poses is "Nintendo Times", referencing the Rhythm Heaven series' developer and publisher company, [[wikipedia:Nintendo|Nintendo]].
*The "Wubbadubbadubba" commands that are stated as "questions" appear to suggest that the wrestler is not actually listening to the reporter, and is just responding with the same thing each time. This is supported by the game's reading material, which has the wrestler saying "Eh" to all the questions, despite them being actual questions.
*In ''[[Minna no Rhythm Tengoku]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+]]'', the blue squares with stars have the word "YONE" below them; a reference to one of game's developers, [https://nintendo.fandom.com/wiki/Masami_Yone Masami Yone]. In all other versions, his name is ommited.
*In the Japanese version, while reading the practice, the reporter will say 「〜〜〜ですか?」 ("〜〜〜desuka?"). The 〜 probably means the words that he isn't listening to
**In ''[[Rhythm World Wii]]'', the background in the [[Two-Player Menu|Two Player]] version of Ringside has the same colors as the One Player version, rather than using the unique colors that all other versions use.
*In the Japanese version, the blue squares with stars say "YONE"; a reference to one of game's developers, Masami Yone, whose notebook sketches resulted in the concept of Ringside. In the American, European and Korean versions of the game, his name is omitted.
*In ''[[Rhythm World Wii]]'', the red and yellow stripes after a successful pose are replaced with orange and yellow stripes.
**In Nintendo's Iwata Asks, Masami Yone stated that the basis of the idea stemmed from the cutting of a wedding cake. He mentions that while one would be trying to concentrate on the cutting of the cake, wedding guests would take pictures and request the person's attention. He thought that the idea of a cake-cutting rhythm game didn't seem too promising and came up with the interview scenario instead.<ref>[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wii/rhythmheavenfever/0/2 Iwata Asks - Rhythm Heaven Fever, 3. ''Wedding Cake and "Ringside".'']</ref>
**In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', the background in the [[OK]] epilogue has blue and orange stripes. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', they are orange and yellow instead.
*Ringside is included in the [[Rhythm Heaven Megamix Demo]], but only its practice session is playable. Once practice is completed, the demo ends. This makes Ringside the only rhythm game included in the demo unavailable for play.
*This game appears in the "[[Wario...Where? 2: The Sequel]]" course. Here, the [[Wrestler]] is dressed up like [[Wario-Man]], while the [[Reporter]] is dressed up like [[Mona]]. The real [[Mona]] can be seen standing outside the Rhythm Arena.
*In ''Rhythm Heaven Fever'', the background in the OK rate has blue and orange stripes in it, but in ''Megamix'', it was fixed to have orange and yellow stripes instead, just like in the game when the Wrestler is doing poses. This happens in the Korean version of Fever, as well.
*This game appears in the "Wario...Where? 2: The Sequel" [[Challenge Train]]. In this version, you play as [[Wrestler]], dressed like [[Wario-Man|Wario-Man.]] who is getting interviewed by [[Reporter]], dressed like [[Mona]]. Mona herself can be seen outside the Rhythm Arena at the very beginning and at the end of the game.
*In the Japanese version of this game, there are 2 variants for "Wubbadubbadubba, is that true?" and 2 variants for "Woah, you go big guy!". However, in the US version of this game, there are 3 variants for the 2 commands listed earlier.

Trivia

  • The basis of this game stemmed from the idea of cutting of a wedding cake, as while one would be trying to concentrate on the cutting of the cake, wedding guests would take pictures and request the person's attention.
