{{Nihongo|'''Sick Beats'''|バイキンはかせ|Baikin Hakase}} is the 10th game in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]''. In this game, the player controls a [[Sick Beats Doctor|doctor]] protecting a yellow micro-organism by stabbing viruses with forks.
{{Nihongo|Baikin Hakase|バイキンはかせ|Dr. Virus}} is the 4th [[Rhythm Game]] of Stage 2 (10th overall) in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]''.
The player uses the D-Pad to shoot the viruses from one of four directions, depending on their placement on the map. If even one virus gets to the end, the organism will pop.
This game is uniquely set up like a tower defense game. The player controls a [[Sick Beats Doctor|doctor]] protecting a yellow micro-organism by stabbing viruses with forks. They use ✚ to shoot the viruses from one of four directions, depending on their placement on the map.

The player has multiple chances to vanquish the virus; however, when it reaches the organism, the latter makes a worried noise, then pops, causing the doctor to turn blue in shock. Normally it respawns, but it doesn't do so in the Trials and the [[Endless Game]] where the amount of organisms represent how many lives the player has before the game is over.}}
{{Timing

In the Trials and the [[Endless Game]], losing all organisms causes the game to be over, otherwise they respawn.

|[[generasia:Tsunku|Tsunku♂]]: The game that I enjoyed the most on the GBA version is this one...the feeling I get when I beat three viruses almost simultaneously, or rather, in succession... it gives me goosebumps. This is a basic rhythm game, but the adrenaline rush I get when I beat the three viruses in rapid succession is the best for me. But I have no idea why they let the viruses run through the capsule (laughs).
|[[niwanetwork:Masami Yone|Yone]]: The story is that a certain researcher discovered bacteria that get into the flow when they listen to music. The researcher is in the groove, partly due to the effects of the bacteria, but bad bacteria appear and try to interfere with the research, so the purpose of this game is for the researcher to look through the microscope and try to get rid of them.
