{{Nihongo|'''Ringside'''|レスラー会見|Wrestler Kaiken}} is the 16th minigame in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' and the 60th minigame in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''. The game is about a wrestler who is having a post-game interview with a [[Reporter|reporter]] after a match in Rhythm Arena.
The game has you, playing as a wrestler, getting interviewed after a match. The reporter, the young girl, will give you several cues you need to respond to:
[[File:Screenshot 3DS Ringside.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:
*"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 has to respond after the phrase is done in three beats. To respond, press the A button.
*{{Nihongo|"Wubbadubbadubba, 'zat true?"|テケテケテケですか？|Teketeketeke Desuka?}} {{Nihongo|그게 정말 사실인가요?|Geuge Jeongmal Sasil-ingayo?}}. The Wrestler is expected to nod with an affirmative-sounding grunt on the beat.
*"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 needs to show off after the phrase is finished. To show off your muscles, press A twice at the same time.
*{{Nihongo|"Whoa, you go, big guy!"|すごいですネ！|Sugoi Desune!}} {{Nihongo|와!대단하네요!|Wa! Daedanhaneyo!}}, the Wrestler is expected to flex and pose.
*"Pose for the fans!" ('''Japanese''': こっち見て！ ''Kotchi mite!,'' '''Korean''': 여기보세요! ''yeogiboseyo!'') This phrase is accompanied by the screen zooming out. After it is finished, the player needs to strike a pose. To pose for the fans, press both A and B together. In ''Megamix'', just press the B button.
*{{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.
The commands will come in many different patterns, with varying distances between them.

*'''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.

*'''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).

==Two-Player Mode==
Two Wrestlers are being interviewed, with P1 controlling a cyan Wrestler with a "1" on his mask, and P2 controlling an orange Wrestler with a "2" on his mask. The background also has different colors.<gallery>Screenshot Wii Ringside Two Player.png</gallery>{{clear}}
A version of the game can be unlocked in the two-player mode. It requires you to beat the original game and the previous two-player game, [[Tambourine]].
The game has the first player playing a wrestler with blue clothing, and the second playing a wrestler with orange clothing, each marker with the number of their player. The reporter will give the commands, and the player will respond. The reporter will always ask the same thing to them, so the players just need to do the same thing.

==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 newspaper after some poses is "Nintendo Times", referencing the ''[[Rhythm Heaven (series)|Rhythm Heaven Series]]''' developer and publisher company, [[niwanetwork:Nintendo|Nintendo]].
*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]].
*This game appears in the "[[Wario...Where? 2: The Sequel]]" [[Challenge Train]] 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.
*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.
==Development History==
*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
{{Main|Ringside/Development}}
*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 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>
*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.
*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.

"Wubbadubbadubba, 'zat true?" (テケテケテケですか？?, Teketeketeke Desuka?) 그게 정말 사실인가요? (Geuge Jeongmal Sasil-ingayo??). The Wrestler is expected to nod with an affirmative-sounding grunt on the beat.
"Whoa, you go, big guy!" (すごいですネ！?, Sugoi Desune!) 와!대단하네요! (Wa! Daedanhaneyo!?), the Wrestler is expected to flex and pose.
"Pose for the fans!" (こっち見て～?, Kotchi mite~) 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.
