==Gameplay==
==Description==
[[File:Screenshot Wii Wake-Up Caller.png|thumb]]
Before each round, the bird will tell the player what time it would like to wake up. A beat will be counted off, and the clock will start ticking. After roughly four beats, the clock will disappear, so the player must keep counting. When the clock reaches the specified time, the player must press A to stop it. On occasion, the bird will ask to be woken up off the hour, which requires the player to pause in between the two hour marks.
The player plays as an alarm clock who must wake up the mechanical pidgeon in an old man's cuckoo clock at the right time. Each night, the pidgeon requests a specific time for the player to wake up. A beat is then counted off, and the clock starts ticking from 1 o'clock. After roughly four beats, the screen fades out, requiring the player to count on their own. When the needed time is reached, the player must stop the clock. The pidgeon then wakes up and checks the time.
This gets mixed up in various ways as the game progresses: sometimes the pidgeon requests a time off the hour, and later on the music may cut out entirely. Sometimes, the music is played in swing rhythm, as well.

==Timing Notes==
==[[Timing Display]]==
*Hit: The bird will pop out of the cuckoo clock and toss a seed into a flower pot. The seed will grow into a petaled flower.
{{Timing
*Barely: If the player is off by roughly 15 minutes, the clock will blush and turn forward or back to the proper time. The bird will pop out and toss a seed like normal, but the resulting flower will not have petals. '''A barely counts as a hit.'''
|just=The time shown is the exact time the pidgeon requested. The pidgeon then pops out of the cuckoo clock and toss a bean into a flower pot, which blooms into a petaled flower, and a point is counted. The old man smiles, and the game continues to the next night. Occassionally, the beans are rainbow colored, which bloom into flowers with rainbow petals. Sometimes, the flowers bloom into [[Hair Vegetables]] instead, shocking the old man.
*Miss: The bird will jump out of bed in shock while the clock goes flying. '''One miss ends the game.'''
|miss=The time shown is slightly off, causing the clock to adjust to the exact time, with an embarassed expression. The pidgeon pops out and tosses a bean like normal, but the resulting flower has no petals, though a point is still counted. The old man looks unamused, and the game continues to the next night.
|through=The time shown is completely off. The pidgeon is shocked from waking up too early or oversleeping. If the player does nothing, time flies and eventually night falls, with the pidgeon missing a day. Either way, the game is over.}}
*Once the player reaches 5 points (and every so often after that), the seeds will become rainbow colored over the next few levels, display a series of letters, and then go back to normal. The letters that pop up spell BOUTS, which can be inserted into the [[Police Call]] [[Rhythm Toys|Rhythm Toy]].
*Inputting the code word {{Nihongo|CLOCKWORK}} in [[Police Call]] gives the player a tip about there being a code word in this game (the word is {{Nihongo|BOUTS}}: every so often the flowers bloom with a letter on them, spelling it out). The code word can be put into [[Police Call]] for an easter egg.
*[[Rhythm Tengoku|''Rhythm Tengoku'']] characters make cameos during the levels 10-13 The moon will turn into a [[Viruses|virus]] from [[Sick Beats]]. The [[Ms. Whiskers|black cat]] from [[Rat Race]] will be standing on the window. A [[Small Alien|small green alien]] from [[Spaceball]] will be seen in the sky.
*A few characters from ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' make occasional cameos during the nightfall scene, these being:
**[[Space Umpire]] from [[Spaceball]] in the sky.
**[[Ms. Whiskers]] from [[Rat Race]] holding onto the windowsill.
**A [[Mahō Tsukai and Ojō-chan|monster]] from [[Mahō Tsukai]]<ref>"alarm_03_magic_moon" ~ Animation filename for the face on the moon in [[Wake-Up Caller]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''</ref> taking place of the moon, though it can be easily mistaken to be the face of a [[Virus]] from [[Sick Beats]] instead.
*While none of the characters are named in-game, internal comments refer to the pidgeon as {{Nihongo|Hato-kun|ハト君|Pidgeon-kun}}<ref>"ハト君がーん" (Hato-kun shocked) ~ Comment found in internal files for [[Wake-Up Caller]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''</ref>, the clock as {{Nihongo|Mezamashi-kun|めざまし君|Alarm Clock-kun}}<ref>"めざまし君がーん" (Mezamashi-kun shocked) ~ Comment found in internal files for [[Wake-Up Caller]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''</ref>, and the beans as {{Nihongo|Omame-chan|おまめちゃん|Bean-chan}}<ref>"おまめちゃん" (Omame-chan) ~ Comment found in internal files for [[Wake-Up Caller]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''</ref>.
