}}'''Munchy Monk''' is the name of the sixteenth game in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' for the DS. It features a monk training in the art of eating dumplings. A sequel is unlocked later called [[Munchy Monk 2]].
|stage={{Stage|DSstage4}}{{Stage|3DSland8}}}}
{{Nihongo|Munchy Monk|しゅぎょう|Shugyō}} is the 1st [[Rhythm Game]] in the fourth stage (16th overall) in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and the 2nd of [[Comet Land]] (68th overall) in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
The arrange version, [[Munchy Monk 2]], appears in the tenth stage of ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]''.
==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
The Munchy Monk raises out his hand as a person continuously gives him dumplings to eat. He 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 after the person says "Go!".
[[File:Screenshot DS Munchy Monk.png|thumb]]
[[File:Screenshot 3DS Munchy Monk.png|thumb]]
The rhythm tempo will increase depending on the number of dumplings he gives him at a time. The three different tempos 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:
*Training 1 [Eat one]: The monk receives a single white dumpling with a voice saying "One! Go!" to indicate the timing.
*"One, go!": The person gives the monk one white dumpling. These are always consecutive, and require tapping at a constant pace.
*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.
*"Three, go, go, go!": The person gives the monk three green dumplings in a row. These require faster tapping to eat them all.
*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.

*Barely: The dumpling flies and hits the Monk's nose in which he exclaims in surprise. A barely counts as a miss.
|miss=The dumpling flies and hits the monk's nose, making it turn red as he frowns.
*Miss: The dumpling falls out off the Monk's hand.
|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.}}

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==
==Trivia==
*Munchy Monk makes an appearance in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''. In the game [[Packing Pests]], he can be seen as the employee that is packing the candy. The credits call him by a different name, though.
*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.
*Munchy Monk gets [[Munchy Monk (Endless Game)|its own]] [[Endless Game]] spinoff in ''Rhythm Heaven Fever'', although it has only some resemblance to the original game, mostly being entirely new. Munchy Monk himself also appears in this game, but he looks somewhat different than he did in Packing Pests.
*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]].

Eh. Passable.
You have mastered the basics. Your double bites were transcendent. Your triple bites were as lightning!
There was a time I thought that, but this one is perfect for today's modern monk on the go. It's adjustable, easy to put on, and doesn't put pressure on my belly.
