Chicken Race (チキンレース chikin resu) is a new minigame that appeared in ''[[Rhythm Heaven: The Best +]]''.The player controls as a chicken racer who is in the car. All you have to do is to fuel his car up to 8-16 beats pressing A or D-Pad and release it until he will reach another land, but be sure to fuel it in time, the road platforms will fall apart after reaching another one, and when you'll out of fuel, you will fall into the sea and lose a life or get a game over screen. This minigame appears in Gate 3, and can be unlocked as an Endless Game after beating all three levels of it.

{{Nihongo|Charging Chicken|チキンレース|Chicken Race}} is the 27th [[Rhythm Game]] seen at [[The Third Gate]] and can be unlocked as an [[Endless Game]] by beating the [[Gatekeeper Trio]]'s trials in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
The player must charge up [[Mr. Chicken]]'s electric car so he can make it across a bridge to the next location. The player must charge the car for 4-16 beats, with each beat fueling the car for another yard. Later on, the counter is not shown, requiring the player to count on their own. After releasing the pump, the electric car zooms off across a stone bridge, which begins to fall. The objective is to charge the car such that it stops on the piece of land on the other side, where the cycle continues. The tempo and music change later on to throw off the player. The player is given a set amount of lives depending on the difficulty, which cannot be recovered.
Several islands are described as one of many real world locations, but the island themselves are indistinguishable. As the game continues, the scenery changes from day and night, and even change to space (giving Mr. Chicken a helmet) or even another dimension.
===Trials===
The player has the option to select which difficulty they want:
*[[Saffron]] Trial: The player has 4 lives and must fuel for 4-16 yards. The last round won't count the beats.

==Trivia==
*This game is similar to [[Toy Car]] from ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''.
*The jingle used when a goal is reached is reused from [[Quiz Show]].
*The electric car's design is used in the background of [[Fruit Basket 2]] in [[Machine Remix]]. In international versions of ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the garage door also has a stylized drawing of [[Mr. Chicken]] on it.
*This is the only [[Endless Game]] to not appear in [[Final Remix]].
*The [[Space Umpire]], the rice ball from [[Spaceball]], [[Martian]] from [[Second Contact]], and what appears to be one of the Family Model [[Rhythm Rockets]] from [[Launch Party]] make cameos during the space portion of the game.

Saffron Trial
Charge up Mr. Chicken's electric car just enough to get to the goal without falling!
The player must charge up Mr. Chicken's electric car so he can make it across a bridge to the next location. The player must charge the car for 4-16 beats, with each beat fueling the car for another yard. Later on, the counter is not shown, requiring the player to count on their own. After releasing the pump, the electric car zooms off across a stone bridge, which begins to fall. The objective is to charge the car such that it stops on the piece of land on the other side, where the cycle continues. The tempo and music change later on to throw off the player. The player is given a set amount of lives depending on the difficulty, which cannot be recovered.
Several islands are described as one of many real world locations, but the island themselves are indistinguishable. As the game continues, the scenery changes from day and night, and even change to space (giving Mr. Chicken a helmet) or even another dimension.

The player has the option to select which difficulty they want:
Saffron Trial: The player has 4 lives and must fuel for 4-16 yards. The last round won't count the beats.

I've been driving for almost three years now. I get pulled over all the time, and I keep expecting a police officer to comment on my license picture--I look so good!
