    • The Monkeys (おさるさん?, Osaru-san) are a recurring species in the Rhythm Heaven Series.

    Showtime

    Showtime Monkey.png

    The first monkey to appear is in Showtime, where it hits a switch to launch a ball for penguins to catch mid-air.

    The penguins used to have conflicts with the monkey at one point, not liking how the monkey is the one bossing them around. While one of those penguins was going to the bathroom one night, they heard a banging sound, which turned out to be the monkey training for the show. The next day, the penguins turned their heated emotions into an act[1].

    Tap Trial

    In Tap Trial, there are 2 Monkeys (おさるさん?, Osaru-san) (known as Tap Partners in Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise) who instruct the Girl on when to tap.

    Monkeys Special.gif

    The monkeys are friends with the Giraffe, however, they find it annoying how it stands next to them as they stoically tap dance. After a while, the monkeys seem to have secretly changed their practice location without telling the giraffe[2].

    Songbird Monkey.png

    Under the influence of the girl, the monkeys change their appearance multiple times along with her. The monkeys bring their A game in Tap Trial 2, changing their appearance once again. During one segment in Remix 7, the monkeys get replaced with Buta-san (ブタさん?, Mr. Pig)[3]. The monkeys return in Songbird Remix, wearing bird-themed hats. The sprites of the monkeys appear significantly taller than their artwork. In Tap Trial 2P and Tap Trial 2 2P in Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade), only a single monkey appears, as a second girl appears on the far left instead.

    Two Dancing Monkeys (タップモンキーズ?, Tap Monkeys) make a cameo appearance in the prologue to Young Cricket's stage, Enter Young Cricket, standing next to Mona and her friends at their dumpling stand. Their appearance matches that of Remix 7 and Remix 8 in Rhythm Tengoku, though one is recolored brown like the regular monkeys. Toy versions of the monkeys, alongside another kind of monkey, can be seen in the prologue to 9-Volt's stage, The Multiplayer Test, sitting on the shelf at Toy Express.

    Hole in One

    Artwork Wii Hole in One A.png

    In Hole in One, Monkey (おさるさん?, Osaru-san) is seen with his friend, Mandrill, working as a professional golf coach for the Golfer. Since it's the first Rhythm Game in Rhythm Heaven Fever, he introduces the player to the concept of rhythm.

    He returns in Remix 1, where his fur is white and he wears a top hat. In Lush Remix he wears an explorer's hat. In Hole in One 2 and Remix 9, his fur changes to pink and red respectively, and is now coaching a lady golfer.

    Tambourine

    Game Wii 2-2.png
    Game Wii P2-2.png

    Monkey (おさるさん?, Osaru-san) is the leader in Tambourine. He plays the tambourine and the player must repeat him. He is stated to love music more than bananas[5]. He mainly speaks in ooks but can also speak English[6]. In Remix 2, a Monkey like those from Tap Trial 2 appears in his stead, and in Remix 9, Monkey returns with all white fur. In the Two Player version of Tambourine, a blue monkey appears for Player 1, and an orange one for Player 2.

    In Police Call, inputting the code word BIRDS brings up audio of the monkey attempting to play Tambourine with a Huebird. The Huebird keeps ending every pattern with the squawk call from its own Rhythm Game, so the monkey eventually finishes a pattern with the same squawk call so that the Huebird can correctly follow before the call ends. A Rhythm Monkey Hat, based on the monkey from Tambourine, appeared as one of the unlockable outfits in StreetPass Mii Plaza.

    Board Meeting

    In Remix 2's version of Board Meeting, there is a small monkey wearing glasses and a small pink dress replacing the Assistant. Instead of saying "One, two, three!" the monkey says "Oo-ookii!". She can be seen again holding onto Mandrill's hair in the Remix 9 version of Hole in One 2, where her pink parts turn red.

    Monkey Watch

    Artwork 3DS Monkey Watch.png

    In Monkey Watch, there are many Small Monkeys (おさるさん?, Osaru-san), also known as Watch Monkeys in Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise.

    They keep the time on the Monkey Watch products. The player, who is one of the monkeys, rides the watch's clock hand and "high fives" the other monkeys as they pass by them. There are also ones which high five on the off-beat, who look like purple versions of the monkeys from Tap Trial 2. A single Small Monkey also rides in a hot air balloon at one point. In Remix 2, the Small Monkeys are high-fiving on a giant, Big Ben-esque clock, suggesting these are the size of a normal monkey.

    The purpose of the Monkey Watch as a product is to make the user happy while looking at it, as the ads claim it to be "medically impossible" to frown after doing so, citing "We asked some science guys about it!" as proof. Using Monkey Watch continuously may make the monkeys tired, so it is suggested users to give them rest and the occasional banana for more accurate timekeeping. It is never claimed to be useful for time management however, and can cause people to forget about time and stare at the cute monkeys[7], which can lead to them being late[8]. When the watch itself gets worn out, it is fixed by replacing the monkeys themselves[9]. Mr. Upbeat also seems to use the Monkey Watch as a therapist[10].

    Animal Acrobat

    Artwork 3DS Animal Acrobat.png
    Artwork 3DS Jungle Gymnast.png

    In Animal Acrobat, the monkey (おサル?, Osaru) swings on elephants and Giraffes to earn his stripes as an official Animal Acrobat at the circus. He later appears in Donut Remix with blue fur and a cowlick, where he is shown to love donuts. In Final Remix, he shows up riding a cloud through Munchy Monk and Ninja Bodyguard, before hopping off to swing on elephants and a giraffe in Animal Acrobat.

    He learned all his tricks in the jungle from his sister. In Jungle Gymnast, she chases her dream of atavistic aerialism by swinging on not only elephants and giraffes, but also white monkeys (白い おサルさん?, Shiroi Osaru-san), who lend many helping hands (and feet). She received her bow from her brother when she joined the circus, and wears it for every show and rehearsal[11].

    At the end of Animal Acrobat, the monkey lands on a gorilla's head as the audience cheers. At the end of Donut Remix, he lands on a mountain of donuts as the audience cheers. In Jungle Gymnast, his sister lands on a balloon piloted by a yellow monkey, who soon takes off.
