The game is an endless version of the original, ending once a single virus gets through to the end with being forked. The game gets faster as you continue, and new variations of blobs are introduced. Pink ones will take two hits, and will continue to a different direction, meaning a player couldn't use the same side of the D-pad twice when vanquishing a pink one. A black one has three hits, and follows the same properties as the pink.
|[[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.

*If you press them quick enough together, you can shoot two blobs at once.
*The music used in the [[Endless Game]] in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' is a slightly remixed version of the normal music. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the music is an arrangement in the same style as the original, except for the addition of an ending note in the [[Gatekeeper Trio]]'s Trials.
*This is one of the few games that doesn't feature a tutorial in the [[Rhythm Heaven series|''Rhythm Heaven Series'']].
*This is the only [[Endless Game]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' whose Trial goal isn't to reach a certain score, but rather to reach the end.
