This page is about the game named Mr. Upbeat. "I suppose" you may be looking for the character of the same name?
|
Mr. Upbeat (ウラおとこ?, Ura Otoko), also written as Mr Upbeat in Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise, is the 1st Endless Game in Rhythm Tengoku, unlocked with 1 Medal, and the 1st in international releases of Rhythm Heaven Fever, unlocked with 3 Medals.
Gameplay
The player controls a mysterious little guy named Mr. Upbeat, who must step over a metronome needle to the offbeat of the song. As the game starts, a voice counts off a rhythm for eight beats. After this, the needle begins to swing at Mr. Upbeat. To dodge it, the player needs to hop over the needle, which happens on the offbeats. To assist the player, the light on Mr. Upbeat's head flashes on the offbeat. After 16 steps, the needle stops. The player recieves a point, the tempo increases, and the game repeats.
In Rhythm Heaven Fever, each step gives a point instead of one point for every 16 steps. In addition, the tempo change happens every 32 steps rather than every 16.
Controls
- Ⓐ: Step
Timing Display
- Perfect!/Ace!?: Mr. Upbeat hops over the needle.
- Early!/Late!?: N/A
- Miss...?: Mr. Upbeat trips on the needle, and the game is over. Depending on which side he trips from, he either falls on his bottom or spreads his legs. Usually Mr. Upbeat slumps in defeat, but if the player got a High Score, he pumps his fists at the achievement instead.
Appearances
Trivia
- In Rhythm Tengoku, Mr. Upbeat has the word ウラ (Ura?) written above him. This is removed in Rhythm Heaven Fever.
- The High Score jingle in Rhythm Tengoku was repurposed from an unused Drum Lesson-esque sequence[1][better source needed]. Interestingly, this is the only Endless Game in Rhythm Tengoku to acknowledge when the player achieves a High Score.
- Mr. Upbeat does not appear in Minna no Rhythm Tengoku. The game Manzai was substituted with Mr. Upbeat due to the Japanese-dialogue focused nature of the game[2].
- Manzai was the 4th game in Minna no Rhythm Tengoku, while Mr. Upbeat is the 1st in other regions. This change caused the rest of the Endless Games to be moved around in other regions, and their Medal requirements to be adjusted.
- The game also takes Manzai's place in Endless Remix.
- Inputting the code word POSITIVE in Police Call gives the player a tip about there being a code word in this game (the word is MATCH: every 130 steps Mr. Upbeat's antenna grows larger and displays the word one letter at a time, then returns to normal). The code word can be put into Police Call for an easter egg.
- The UK English spelling of Mr Upbeat in Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise makes this game and the Remixes the only games whose names differ across the two English versions.
