The Munchy Monk raises out his hand as off screen people continuously give him dumplings to eat. They will give the Munchy Monk either one, two, or three dumplings in a row. The monk eats the dumplings by slapping his wrist in order to pop the dumpling in his mouth. To do this correctly, the player must time it right by only tapping the touch screen right as the person says "Go!". The cues are:
The [[Munchy Monk (character)|Munchy Monk]] raises out his hand as off-screen people continuously give him dumplings to eat. He eats them by slapping his wrist precisely as the off-screen character says "Go!" to fling the dumplings in his mouth. There are three cues to follow:
*"One! Go!": The person gives the monk one white dumpling. These are always consecutive, and require tapping at a constant pace.
*Training 1 [Eat one]: The monk receives a single white dumpling with a voice saying "One! Go!" to indicate the timing.
*"Three! Go! Go! Go!": The person gives the monk three green dumplings in a row. These require faster tapping to eat them all.
*Training 2 [Eat three]: The monk receives three green dumplings in a row with a voice saying "Three! Go! Go! Go!" to indicate the timing.
*"Two-two! Go-go!": The person gives the monk two pink dumplings. After a slight pause, two quick taps must be made in rhythm.
*Training 3 [Eat two]: The monk receives two pink dumplings and must slap his wrist twice quickly to eat them. The voice says "Two-two! Go! Go!" to indicate the timing.
In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the monk is redesigned, looking closer to his design in [[Munchy Monk (Wii)|Munchy Monk]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', as well as carrying a baby on his back during the real game. The background is more detailed and animated.

|through=The dumpling falls out of the Monk's hand (in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', this is also accompanied by a "doink" noise). If the player tries hitting the monk's hand just as the dumping is being placed on it, it hits him square in the face, with the monk looking confused.}}
*Barely: The dumpling flies and hits the side of the Monk's nose. '''A barely counts as a miss.'''
==Results==
*Miss: If you tap way too early or way too late, the dumpling will hit the Monk squarely on the nose, causing him to shout in surprise. If you do not tap at all, the dumpling falls out of the Monk's hand.

==Trivia==
*In the Japanese versions, when you are given three dumplings, the voice counts "1 2 3" in Chinese.
**It is most likely because monks originated from China.
*The game is a parody on real ancient Monks, who (depending on the religion) starve themselves as part of their training, while here it's the opposite.
*The dumplings are referred to as a bread called Manju in the Japanese version.
*This is the shortest game in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]], ''lasting 54 seconds, though it isn't the shortest game in the franchise. [[Showtime]] beats it by 7 seconds and [[Rhythm Rally]] by 12 seconds.
*Since its inception, Munchy Monk has enjoyed perfect attendance in the series, re-appearing in both ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' (as an [[Munchy Monk (Wii)|Endless Game]]) and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''. It shares a similar status as the likes of [[Karate Man]], [[Samurai Slice]], and [[Built to Scale]].
*The game has the same rhythm as [[Micro-Row 2 (Wii)|Micro-Row 2]].
*The [[Employee 333-4-591032|employee]] in [[Packing Pests]] bears a striking resemblance to the Munchy Monk. Notably both games involve characters using their hands, and both involve food in some way.
*[[File:Muncy Monk Unused.png|thumb|right|The monk's face in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' including the off screen ears and eyebrows.]]This one of the few games in [[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]] to receive a major overhaul in it's visuals. The [[Munchy Monk (character)|Munchy Monk]] himself is redesigned to match his appearance in the [[Munchy Monk (Wii)|Endless Game of the same name]], mainly in the presence of sleeves, as well as visible ears and eyebrows. The background is more detailed and is now animated. Due to ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]''<nowiki/>'s screen resolution, when translating the game to ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', there was an abundance of empty space on both sides, so the baby was added as a way to fill in the blanks. This is hinted at during the practice and beginning of the game where it seems like everything's the same as the original, until the monk slides to the left, revealing the formerly hidden baby. The left side shows off the handler's full arm, revealing that he too wears a uniform like the monk.
*This is one of a few games to keep the same controls for tapping from ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' to ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' in Simple Tap Mode, the others being [[Fillbots]], [[Shoot-'em-up]], [[Freeze Frame]] and [[Lockstep]].
*There is a character in [https://www.mariowiki.com/WarioWare,_Inc.:_Mega_Party_Game$! WarioWare Inc.: Mega Party Games] who bears a resemblance to the [[Munchy Monk (character)|Munchy Monk]].[[File:58b828d3d1c30cdd69568593bae5ae0d.png|thumb|right]]
*This game appears in the "Wario...Where?" [[Challenge Train]], where the Monk is replaced by [[Master Mantis]]. [[Young Cricket]] can be seen riding a cloud in the background, similar to the [[Monkey]] in [[Final Remix]].
*The hands which gives you 3 dumplings are different between this & the sequel: In Munchy Monk, they look like paws. In Munchy Monk 2, they're normal hands.

==Commentary==
The following is commentary given on the STAFF'S VOICE section of the booklet included in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku Zen Kyoku-shu]]''.
|[[generasia:Tsunku|Tsunku♂]]: I know it's strange for me to say this, but this is my favorite song for the DS version. I made the song thinking that the game would be like a shooting game, but I'm not sure why I chose to use [[wikipedia:Manjū|manjū]]. (laughs) It feels really good when a manju goes into your mouth, though.
|[[niwanetwork:Masami Yone|Yone]]: At first, the title was "Oyatsu" (snack). So you were eating snacks, not manju, but before I knew it, it had become "Shugyo" (laughs). So eating manju is a kind of "shugyo" (training)...is that right?

==Trivia==
*This game is a parody on real ancient [[wikipedia:Monk|monks]], who (depending on the religion) starve themselves as part of their training, while here it's the opposite.
*In ''[[Rhythm Tengoku Gold]]'' and ''[[Rhythm World]]'', during an [Eat three] section, the voice counts {{Nihongo|一 二 三 四|Yī èr sān sì}} in Chinese.
*Since its inception, Munchy Monk has enjoyed perfect attendance in the series, re-appearing in both ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' (as an [[Munchy Monk (Wii)|Endless Game]]) and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''. It shares a similar status as the likes of [[Karate Man]], [[Samurai Slice]], and [[Built to Scale]].
*The game has the same rhythm as ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Micro-Row 2 (Wii)|Micro-Row 2]].
*[[Employee #333-4-591032]] in [[Packing Pests]] bears a striking resemblance to the [[Munchy Monk (character)|Munchy Monk]]. Notably, both games involve characters using their hands, and both involve food in some way.
*Oddly, the player is able to flick in this game in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', despite this action not doing anything. This trait is shared with [[Shoot-'Em-Up (DS)|Shoot-'Em-Up]], [[Freeze Frame]] and [[Drummer Duel]]. All other games that don't use the flick don't allow the player to perform it.
**Excluding the ability to flick despite not needing to, this is one of the few games to keep the same controls from ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' to ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' in Simple Tap mode, alongside [[Shoot-'em-up 2]] and [[Freeze Frame]]. In addition, [[Fillbots 2|Fillbots]] and [[Lockstep]] keep the same controls completely.
*This game appears in the "[[Wario...Where?]]" [[Challenge Train]] course, where the Monk is replaced by [[Master Mantis]]. [[Young Cricket]] can be seen riding a cloud in the background, similar to the [[Monkey]] in [[Final Remix]].
