Blue Birds
The captain might seem a little intense. He'll get mad if you mess up, but just let it roll off you like water off a duck's back.
In this game, the player controls a member of The Blue Birds, following orders from Captain Blue Bird. The objective of this game is to remain in sync with the other two birds. The captain has two commands:
Peck your beak! (つっつき?, tsuttsuki) calls for the birds to peck three times in quick succession.
Stretch out your neck! (ふんぞり?, funzori) asks them to peck into the ground for a bit before stretching out both their necks and their wings.
Perfect!/Ace!?: The player pecks or stretches in sync with the others. While pecking, a hit spark with stars appears. After a stretch, the captain blushes while stretching out his own wings.
Early!/Late!?: The player pecks out of sync, causing less impressive hit sparks to fly out, a "doink" sound to be heard, and a sweat drop to form. While stretching, the player's neck gets a cramp. The captain gets angry and huffs. In the international version of Rhythm Heaven, the animation for mistiming a stretch instead has the bird pose awkwardly.
Miss...?: The player either does nothing, or pecks when they're not supposed to, causing less impressive hit sparks to fly out, a "doink" sound to be heard, and a sweat drop to form. While stretching, they either do nothing or stretch when they're not supposed to. The captain gets angry and huffs.
