In this game, the player controls a [[Sick Beats Doctor|doctor]] protecting a yellow micro-organism by stabbing viruses with forks. They use ✚ to shoot the viruses from one of four directions, depending on their placement on the map. If even a single virus gets to the end, the organism will pop.

Normally it respawns, but it doesn't do so in the Trials and the [[Endless Game]] where the amount of organisms represent how many lives the player has before the game is over.

The following is commentary given on the STAFF'S VOICE section of the booklet included in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku Zen Kyoku-shu]]''.
|[[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).

{{Nihongo|'''Sick Beats SP'''|バイキンはかせSP|Baikin Hakase SP|Doctor Bacteria SP}}, known as {{Nihongo|'''Sick Beats'''|バイキンはかせ|Baikin Hakase|Doctor Bacteria}} in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' is the second [[Endless Games|endless game]] in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''. It can be unlocked by obtaining 10 [[Medals]] in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]] '' or beating all three challenges in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''. The game is an endless version of the original, ending once a single virus gets through to the end without being forked. The game gets faster as you continue, and new variations of viruses 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.
The player has the option to select which difficulty they want in the Megamix version of the game: Easy (Saffron), normal (Saltwater) or Hard (Paprika).
|[[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.
Saffron's Challenge: There are blue viruses and 3 Blobs. (Matching the Tengoku version)
|-
Saltwater's Challenge: The blue may skip 1 way & pink viruses are added, there are 2 Blobs.

Paprika's Challenge: The blue may skip 1-3 ways & pink may skip 1-2 ways & black viruses are added, there are 2 Blobs.

*This is one of the few games that doesn't feature a practice session.
*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.
