This minigame starts with an image of a vegetable. Several hairs, both straight and curly, appear in a rhythmic pattern.

Curly hairs also appear, which require the player to hold down the button for longer.
In this game, the player is plucking hairs off of [[Hair Vegetables]]. As the vegetables appear, several hairs grow in a rhythmic pattern. After the pattern ends, a pair of tweezers appear scrolling around the vegtable. The player needs to repeat the rhythm they were given to pluck the hairs. Some of the hairs are curly, requiring the player to hold the button or tap long enough to pull it out.
While the gameplay is identical in ''Rhythm Heaven Megamix'', the background is now purple instead of white, and the turnips are replaced with potatoes.
In ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', the background is white, with yellow onions and pink turnips. In ''[[Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)]]'', the pink turnips are brown. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the background is purple, with more detailed onions and potatoes replacing the turnips.

|[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10236295/ Oguro]: This "Rhythm Tweezers" song was created by Mr. Yone of Nintendo, and when I listened to the song, it sounded Arabic, so I wondered why is it about pulling out hairs? (laughs).
|[[generasia:Tsunku|Tsunku♂]]: I didn't expect a game about removing hairs (laughs). But it feels really good, doesn't it? When you pull out a long hair, you press and hold the button for a long time, and when you release it, you can pull it out with a pop. It's a great feeling to pull it out, and it seems to have a lot of fans among girls.
*In [[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]], plucking a curly hair will always indicate perfect timing on the release.
*''[[mariowiki:WarioWare Gold|WarioWare Gold]]'' includes an abridged version of [[mariowiki:Rhythm Tweezers|Rhythm Tweezers]] in the Mash League, as a microgame in 5-Volts stage. The player can’t use the D-Pad to pull the hair, and the hairs are always in the same rhythm for a vegetable.

|[[niwanetwork:Masami Yone|Yone]]: In the early stages, the leading role was played by an old man. The hairs on his smooth head were designed to be plucked out (laughs). It hurts when the hair is pulled out, but it feels good when it is pulled out cleanly, so we wanted to express that kind of complex psychology, so we decided on a weird Arabic-style song. However, when it came to the final stages of development, we decided that even in a game, it would be a bad idea to pull out the hairs on the head, so the onion became the main character.
