<< Mamarin Palace >>

Mamarin Palace (ママリン宮殿^?, Mamarin Kyūden) is the eleventh stage in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. It is the final stage in Heaven World.

Story

After Tibby and the player pass the Gatekeeper Trio's trials at The Fourth Gate, they finally reach Mamarin Palace, which is not only Tibby's house, but also his mother. As Tibby explains that the guardians of Heaven World are destined to grow up into palaces like her, Colin interrupts to inform him of what has happened to his mom. He suggests the player and Tibby climb up to the top of the palace to ask her what happened face-to-face. In order to open the door however, they need to restore the flow to the two towers next to the palace.

After clearing them, Tibby and the player are able to enter the palace proper. After clearing the Rhythm Games within and climbing to the top, Tibby tries talking to his mother. Although she doesn't respond, Tibby explains to her how much has happened along his way back, meeting a lot of people, and learning that everyone else has troubles like him. He says he has decided to live as one who helps others, but still gets no response from his mother. She then exhales, revealing she was actually holding her breath to cure her hiccups the whole time, which is what caused the spooky voice and gloomy skies in Heaven World. Clearing Mamarin Palace, and by extention Heaven World, is commemorated with a Badge.

Mamarin Palace is depicted in Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic 37テビリと天の国 (Tibby and Heaven World) where Tibby is seen riding on a horse. He loses his grip however, and falls down into Earth World. This comic acts as a prequel to the story of Rhythm Heaven Megamix as a whole.

Dialogue

Intro

	Tibby
We made it! This is my house!

	Tibby
OK, it's time I told you some things.

	Tibby
But where should I start?

Take a look. That's Mamarin Palace.

It's my house. But there's more...

The palace is also my mother.

	Tibby
...That wasn't a joke. Please don't laugh at me.

	Tibby
When I grow up, I'll become a palace, too.

	Tibby
I'll be just like Mom is now. Are you surprised?

	Tibby
I will stand here in Heaven World...

	Tibby
watching over my people and their lives.

	Tibby
So all this walking around freely like we've been doing...

	Tibby
I can only do it while I'm still a kid.

	Tibby
Given how often I fall and get lost, it's probably for the best.

	Tibby
But that's just the way it is for us guardians of Heaven World.

	Tibby
And we're proud of it!

	Colin
Ahem! AHEM!

	Tibby
Yes, Colin. You can be proud, too.

	Tibby
Oh, let me introduce my friend, Colin! He's another guardian.

	Colin
Nice to meet you! Sorry to interrupt or whatever.

	Tibby
He may seem a little spacey, or even a lot spacey.

	Tibby
But he's actually really dependable.

	Tibby
He's extra dependable if you need something heavy, like a doorstop.

	Colin
Oh, Tibby, I just remembered why I came to get you.

	Colin
Your mom is in trouble!

	Tibby
What? How?

	Colin
Come over here and take a look!

	Tibby
But...what happened to her face?

Scary, huh? That's how your mom looks these days.

It... It's been freaking me out.

Your mom used to have such a nice, friendly face...

But after the sky went all gloomy...

It changed into this scary face.

She's also got this spooky voice now!

I think she might be possessed or something.

	Tibby
...

	Tibby
Colin?

	Tibby
What do you think happened to my mom?

	Colin
You're askin' the wrong guy, Tibby. I don't have clue #1.

	Colin
But if it was me, I'd climb up to the top of the palace...

	Colin
and ask your mom what's up face-to-face.

	Tibby
Face to...that face?

	Colin
Hey, no worries, Tibby. You're her son!

	Colin
And once she sees how much you've, like, matured...

	Colin
I think your mom will be happy and go back to her old self.

	Tibby
All right--I'll try.

	Colin
Except...

	Tibby
Except?

	Colin
The entrance to the palace is all locked up.

	Colin
You can't get in there right now.

	Tibby
Oh no!

	Colin
Dude, chill.

	Colin
I know how to open the door!

	Tibby
You do? Really?

	Colin
Whoa! Candy craving! Will you buy me some sweets?

	Tibby
Er, excuse me?

	Colin
C-A-N-D-Y. Will you buy me some?

	Tibby
OK. But can it wait until AFTER we save my mother?

	Colin
Deal!

	Colin
Here, let me show you the way in.

There. Look up!

You see those two towers next to the palace?

There's a buncha bad flow coming out of those towers.

Pretty sure that's why the door won't open.

That means you clear both of those towers...

and you'll be chattin' with Mom in a jiff!

	Tibby
Brilliant! Colin, you're pretty smart!

	Colin
Me? Nah.

	Tibby
But this is a great plan! I've been underestimating you!

	Colin
Heh. Really? You think so?

	Tibby
Totally! "Colin the Brain" is what I'm going to call you!

	Colin
Well, actually...it was Bertram who came up with it.

	Tibby
Ah. Figures.

	Colin
Hey, who cares about details?

	Colin
Are you ready for this? You'd better be!

	Colin
There might be, like, powerful enemies waiting for you up there!

	Tibby
Nah. Pretty sure it'll be more rhythm games!

	Colin
That's the spirit! All right, go climb some towers!

	Colin
You can do it, Tibby!

The story continues in Left-Hand Tower and Right-Hand Tower in any order, then after they are cleared, the palace proper is open.

Open

	Colin
Whoa! That was INTENSE!

	Colin
You cleared both of those towers, eh?

	Colin
Now you can finally enter the palace.

	Colin
Go on, Tibby! Go see your mom!

	Colin
This is really it! The final challenge! Don't you give up!

	Tibby
You're right! I can't stall.

	Tibby
Mom! I'm coming home!

The story continues in Tibby's Mom, and after it's cleared.

End

	Tibby's Mom
...

	Tibby
Mom? It's me! It's Tibby!

	Tibby's Mom
...

	Tibby
Why won't you answer? Hey! Mom!

	Tibby's Mom
...

	Tibby
All right. You don't want to talk. Even to me.

	Tibby
But, Mom, if you won't talk, you'll just have to listen.

	Tibby
A lot of stuff happened on my way back home.

	Tibby
I met a lot of people...

	Tibby
and spent a lot of time talking with them.

	Tibby
And you know what I found out? Everyone has troubles.

	Tibby's Mom
...

	Tibby
Now, like everyone, I've always had troubles.

	Tibby
And I'd get depressed and cry, or stay in bed all day...

	Tibby
When I'd see people who weren't in bed and weren't crying...

	Tibby
I just assumed that they didn't have any troubles of their own.

	Tibby's Mom
...

	Tibby
But now I know... They're all just like me.

	Tibby
We all have troubles--all different kinds, of course.

	Tibby
And everyone faces them and keeps living their lives.

	Tibby
And some of them help each other with the worst troubles.

	Tibby
That's how I decided...

	Tibby
I'm going to live as one of the ones who helps others.

	Tibby's Mom
...

	Tibby
Mom, are you listening?

	Tibby
I'm proud of what I've done-- of what I've become.

	Tibby
Mom...

	Tibby
Can you just look at me?

	Tibby
Can you give me a smile?

	Tibby
Maybe tell me "You did good"?

	Tibby
Please?

	Tibby's Mom
...

	Tibby's Mom
...?

	Tibby's Mom
Pwaaaaah!

	Tibby
WHAT DID THAT MEAN?!

	Tibby's Mom
Oh, hello, Tibby, dear!

	Tibby's Mom
What are you doing here?

	Tibby
Wh-wha...?

	Tibby
I was worried about you! What happened to you, Mom?

	Tibby's Mom
Me? Nothing.

	Tibby's Mom
Oh! I get it. I'm sorry to worry you, dear...

	Tibby's Mom
I was just holding my breath to get rid of the hiccups.

	Tibby
HICCUPS?!

	Tibby's Mom
I held it for a long time. It wasn't easy.

	Tibby's Mom
The good news is the hiccups are gone. I'm fine now.

	Tibby's Mom
What a relief!

	Tibby
Wait a minute! That's it?

	Tibby
This is why the skies of Heaven World were all gloomy?

	Tibby
And the spooky voice people heard...was your hiccups?

	Tibby
What have I been doing?

	Tibby's Mom
You know what? I don't think I've ever had hiccups before...

	Tibby's Mom
How have I gone this long? Ahahaha!

	Tibby
...Mom?

	Tibby's Mom
Hm? Oh, yes, dear?

	Tibby's Mom
What? What's that face for?

	Tibby's Mom
Did I miss something?

	Tibby
...

	Tibby
I guess not.

	Tibby
Doesn't matter now!

	Tibby's Mom
Oh, Tibby, is that a new friend of yours?

	Tibby
Yes! A friend who has helped me every step of the way!

	Tibby's Mom
Is that so? Well then, thank you for helping my son.

	Tibby's Mom
I hope you and he will be friends...

	Tibby's Mom
for a long, long time.

...And that's how Heaven World got its prince back.

The End

Bye! Thanks for everything!

Narration (Gameplay Counts)

A fine ending, don't you think?

Sort of a light story, as it turned out, hm?

At any rate...

thank you for playing all the way to the end.

In case you're wondering, this really is the actual end.

I sincerely hope your flow and sense of rhythm have improved.

I also hope that, as you've played, you've been smiling.

One last thing...

Shall we give a final look at all the rhythm games?

Take care!
