(Sorry, I fixed it and I realized there already is a story-mode version. It turns out the unused Micro-Row was actually supposed to be a "Micro-Row 3".) |

This game includes | This game includes 63 [[Rhythm Games]] from the previous three ''[[Rhythm Heaven (series)|Rhythm Heaven]]'' games (18 of which are unlocked through the [[Shop]]), 19 new ones, 12 shortened versions of previous games, 4 [[Endless Games]] (one from each previous title and one new), and 10 new [[Remix]]es, making for a total of 108 games in all. | ||
== | Notably, the North American version was only available as a digital download on the [[niwanetwork:Nintendo eShop|Nintendo eShop]] while other regions also received physical releases. As the [[niwanetwork:Nintendo eShop|Nintendo eShop]] closed on March 27, 2023, the North American version can no longer be purchased. | ||
{{Spoiler}} | ==[[Rhythm Games]]== | ||
{{Spoiler}}During the story of the game, the player helps a character named [[Tibby]] get back to [[Heaven World]] by completing various [[Rhythm Games]] and restoring the flow. On their way, they meet various characters who guide them through their various lands; as well as the [[Gatekeeper Trio]] who block their path. Throughout the game, [[Rupert]] pops in and out to inform the player of any events, such as something new being unlocked, or when a [[Perfect Campaign]] is going on. | |||
The majority of [[Rhythm Games]] appear over the course of the story, where they are grouped into stages of four; one from ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', one from ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', one from ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', and one new for ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''. All towers have a [[Remix]] at the end as well. | |||
The games in [[Honeybee Land]], [[Machine Land]], [[Citrus Land]] and [[Barbershop Land]] are short versions of the original games with new music and visuals. They take the original name and description of the games, while the long versions, being the actual original games, are given new names, which in English often coincide with the arrange versions in previous installments. | |||
===[[Earth World]]=== | |||
=== | At the beginning of the game, [[Tibby]] accidentally falls off [[Heaven World]]. A mysterious individual (the player) finds him, and agrees to help him return to [[Heaven World]]. The two see a [[Lush Tower|Green Tower]] in the distance, and decide to go to it. They pass through various lands, helping various people with their troubles by clearing [[Rhythm Games]] along the way in order to progress. | ||

Once [[Tibby]] and the player finally reach [[Lush Woods]], where the [[Lush Tower]] can be found, they meet [[Trey]]. He has been guarding the tower for a long time, and agrees to help [[Tibby]] reach [[Heaven World]] by having him and the player climb the tower, clearing [[Rhythm Games]] in order to restore the flow to the tower, and thus activate its power. | |||

After [[Tibby]] and the player clear [[Lush Tower]], [[Tibby]] tries to use its power to return to [[Heaven World]], but it is not enough. [[Trey]] informs him that they need a rainbow of power for that, after which the six towers appear. [[Tibby]] and the player are allowed to tackle them in any order they wish. The short versions from the lands return as "powered-up" [[Rhythm Games]], which are the original versions, but renamed to avoid confusion. Many of their names and descriptions now coincide with their arrange versions, however. | |||

After the six towers of [[Lush Woods]] are cleared, they focus their power into [[Lush Tower]] to create a rainbow, which allows [[Tibby]] to return to [[Heaven World]]. The story appears to be finished, however, [[Tibby]] sends a letter to the player saying there's trouble in [[Heaven World]], asking for their help. | |||
|[[ | ===[[Heaven World]]=== | ||
|[[ | The player, using the letter to climb up the rainbow, reaches [[Heaven World]]. [[Tibby]] explains that he doesn't know what's happened, but trusts that with the player's help, they can fix it. They pass through a few lands, helping [[Tibby]]'s friends by clearing [[Rhythm Games]] along the way in order to progress. During this, they learn of a strange sound that was heard coming from [[Tibby]]'s house, and dark clouds covered the sky. This lead to the inhabitants feeling depressed, not knowing who could've done this. | ||

After clearing all of the lands along the way, the duo finally reach [[Mamarin Palace]], which is also [[Tibby's Mom]]. Here they meet [[Colin]], who has been looking for [[Tibby]] to inform him that [[Tibby's Mom]] is in trouble. He asks the duo to climb up to the top of the palace to ask her face-to-face what's happened. To open the door however, they need to climb up the two towers next to the palace, clearing the [[Rhythm Games]] in them to restore the flow, and thus unlock the door to the palace proper. | |||

After clearing the [[Rhythm Games]] within [[Tibby's Mom]] and climbing to the top, [[Tibby]] tries talking to her. Although she doesn't respond, [[Tibby]] explains to her what has happened along his way back, meeting a lot of people, and learning that everyone else has troubles like him. He says he has decided to live as one who helps others, but still gets no response from his mother. She then exhales, revealing she was actually holding her breath to cure her hiccups the whole time, which is what caused the spooky voice and gloomy skies in [[Heaven World]]. | |||
===[[Shop]]=== | |||
[[Saffron]]'s [[Shop]] (available after [[The First Gate]]) allows the player to purchase [[Rhythm Item]]s, [[Play Music|Music]] and [[Rhythm Games]]. All games in the [[Shop]] are returning from previous games in the series, though they can only be played in the [[Museum]]. Versions of them can be played on the [[Challenge Train]] even before they are bought. | |||

In the | In the [[Café]], the player can access (from left to right) [[StreetPass Terrace]], the [[Stable]], talking to the [[Barista]] and other characters, the [[Shop]], [[Museum]], [[Badges]], [[Memories]], and [[Mascots]]. Each option is unlocked after certain points in the game. Notably, the [[Barista]] no longer helps the player skip games they are having trouble with; instead, [[Rupert]] shows up when it's time for that, and charges a fee to skip the game. | ||
==Endless Games== | |||
== | [[Endless Games]] return in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', including one game from each installment, and a new one of its own. They are unlocked by completing all three Trials set by the [[Gatekeeper Trio]] on that game's Gate, after which the endless game will be available in the [[Museum]]. | ||
==Challenge Land== | |||
[[Challenge Land]] is a new feature in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' which allows up to 4 players to ride the [[Challenge Train]] though various courses consisting of [[Rhythm Games]] with altered rules. The [[Perfect Campaign]] returns, appearing in this section. If the player misses during an attempt, the game ends with the message "You Missed..." rather than continuing like a normal game. After a [[Perfect]] is obtained, the player does not receive a [[Gift]]. Instead, each campaign awards one [[Flow Ball]], which can used to purchase [[Rhythm Games]] at the [[Shop]]. The [[Rhythm Item]]s and [[Play Music|Music]] also purchasable in the [[Shop]] serve the same purpose as the [[Gift]]s in previous games. | |||
=== | ==Missing Games== | ||
While most [[Rhythm Games|games]] returned in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', 24 didn't make the cut. The following are the games from past installments of ''[[Rhythm Heaven (series)|Rhythm Heaven]]'' that did not return for ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''. (Arrange versions whose long version is in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' are highlighted in {{Nihongo|this font}}. [[Remix]]es, [[Endless Games]], [[File:TempoUpExtra1.png|72px]] Games, and [[Two-Player Menu|Two-Player Games]] aren't listed.) Many of the Arrange versions have new patterns or new cues, which also exist in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', but are never used. It is debatable how many of these were actually intended to appear in the game or were simply leftover data from the porting process. | |||

Rhythm Heaven Fever
N/A
Rhythm Heaven Megamix (リズム天国 ザ・ベスト+?, Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+), also known as Rhythm Paradise Megamix in Europe, and Rhythm Sesang: The Best+ (리듬 세상 더 베스트+?, Rhythm World: The Best+) in Korea, is the fourth game in the Rhythm Heaven Series, released for the Nintendo 3DS on June 11th, 2015 in Japan, June 16th, 2016 in North America, October 21st, 2016 in Europe, October 22nd, 2016 in Australia, and December 1st, 2016 in South Korea.
This game includes 63 Rhythm Games from the previous three Rhythm Heaven games (18 of which are unlocked through the Shop), 19 new ones, 12 shortened versions of previous games, 4 Endless Games (one from each previous title and one new), and 10 new Remixes, making for a total of 108 games in all.
Notably, the North American version was only available as a digital download on the Nintendo eShop while other regions also received physical releases. As the Nintendo eShop closed on March 27, 2023, the North American version can no longer be purchased.
Rhythm Games
During the story of the game, the player helps a character named Tibby get back to Heaven World by completing various Rhythm Games and restoring the flow. On their way, they meet various characters who guide them through their various lands; as well as the Gatekeeper Trio who block their path. Throughout the game, Rupert pops in and out to inform the player of any events, such as something new being unlocked, or when a Perfect Campaign is going on.
The majority of Rhythm Games appear over the course of the story, where they are grouped into stages of four; one from Rhythm Tengoku, one from Rhythm Heaven, one from Rhythm Heaven Fever, and one new for Rhythm Heaven Megamix. All towers have a Remix at the end as well.
The games in Honeybee Land, Machine Land, Citrus Land and Barbershop Land are short versions of the original games with new music and visuals. They take the original name and description of the games, while the long versions, being the actual original games, are given new names, which in English often coincide with the arrange versions in previous installments.
Earth World
At the beginning of the game, Tibby accidentally falls off Heaven World. A mysterious individual (the player) finds him, and agrees to help him return to Heaven World. The two see a Green Tower in the distance, and decide to go to it. They pass through various lands, helping various people with their troubles by clearing Rhythm Games along the way in order to progress.
Honeybee Land
Machine Land
The First Gate
Citrus Land
Donut Land
The Second Gate
Barbershop Land
Songbird Land
The Third Gate
Lush Woods
Once Tibby and the player finally reach Lush Woods, where the Lush Tower can be found, they meet Trey. He has been guarding the tower for a long time, and agrees to help Tibby reach Heaven World by having him and the player climb the tower, clearing Rhythm Games in order to restore the flow to the tower, and thus activate its power.
Lush Tower
After Tibby and the player clear Lush Tower, Tibby tries to use its power to return to Heaven World, but it is not enough. Trey informs him that they need a rainbow of power for that, after which the six towers appear. Tibby and the player are allowed to tackle them in any order they wish. The short versions from the lands return as "powered-up" Rhythm Games, which are the original versions, but renamed to avoid confusion. Many of their names and descriptions now coincide with their arrange versions, however.
Honeybee Tower
Machine Tower
Citrus Tower
Donut Tower
Barbershop Tower
Songbird Tower
After the six towers of Lush Woods are cleared, they focus their power into Lush Tower to create a rainbow, which allows Tibby to return to Heaven World. The story appears to be finished, however, Tibby sends a letter to the player saying there's trouble in Heaven World, asking for their help.
Heaven World
The player, using the letter to climb up the rainbow, reaches Heaven World. Tibby explains that he doesn't know what's happened, but trusts that with the player's help, they can fix it. They pass through a few lands, helping Tibby's friends by clearing Rhythm Games along the way in order to progress. During this, they learn of a strange sound that was heard coming from Tibby's house, and dark clouds covered the sky. This lead to the inhabitants feeling depressed, not knowing who could've done this.
Star Land
Comet Land
Planet Land
The Fourth Gate
Mamarin Palace
After clearing all of the lands along the way, the duo finally reach Mamarin Palace, which is also Tibby's Mom. Here they meet Colin, who has been looking for Tibby to inform him that Tibby's Mom is in trouble. He asks the duo to climb up to the top of the palace to ask her face-to-face what's happened. To open the door however, they need to climb up the two towers next to the palace, clearing the Rhythm Games in them to restore the flow, and thus unlock the door to the palace proper.
The Rhythm Games in this section are the arrange versions. In some cases, these end up being the third version of some games, having a completely new name and description. Notably, Karate Man Senior is not an arrangement of any existing game, but is present here nonetheless.
Left-Hand Tower
Right-Hand Tower
Tibby's Mom
After clearing the Rhythm Games within Tibby's Mom and climbing to the top, Tibby tries talking to her. Although she doesn't respond, Tibby explains to her what has happened along his way back, meeting a lot of people, and learning that everyone else has troubles like him. He says he has decided to live as one who helps others, but still gets no response from his mother. She then exhales, revealing she was actually holding her breath to cure her hiccups the whole time, which is what caused the spooky voice and gloomy skies in Heaven World.
Shop
Saffron's Shop (available after The First Gate) allows the player to purchase Rhythm Items, Music and Rhythm Games. All games in the Shop are returning from previous games in the series, though they can only be played in the Museum. Versions of them can be played on the Challenge Train even before they are bought.
Shop No. 1
Shop No. 2
Shop No. 3
Shop No. 4
Shop No. 5
Shop No. 6
Café
In the Café, the player can access (from left to right) StreetPass Terrace, the Stable, talking to the Barista and other characters, the Shop, Museum, Badges, Memories, and Mascots. Each option is unlocked after certain points in the game. Notably, the Barista no longer helps the player skip games they are having trouble with; instead, Rupert shows up when it's time for that, and charges a fee to skip the game.
Endless Games
Endless Games return in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, including one game from each installment, and a new one of its own. They are unlocked by completing all three Trials set by the Gatekeeper Trio on that game's Gate, after which the endless game will be available in the Museum.
Challenge Land
Challenge Land is a new feature in Rhythm Heaven Megamix which allows up to 4 players to ride the Challenge Train though various courses consisting of Rhythm Games with altered rules. The Perfect Campaign returns, appearing in this section. If the player misses during an attempt, the game ends with the message "You Missed..." rather than continuing like a normal game. After a Perfect is obtained, the player does not receive a Gift. Instead, each campaign awards one Flow Ball, which can used to purchase Rhythm Games at the Shop. The Rhythm Items and Music also purchasable in the Shop serve the same purpose as the Gifts in previous games.
Missing Games
While most games returned in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, 24 didn't make the cut. The following are the games from past installments of Rhythm Heaven that did not return for Rhythm Heaven Megamix. (Arrange versions whose long version is in Rhythm Heaven Megamix are highlighted in this font. Remixes, Endless Games, Games, and Two-Player Games aren't listed.) Many of the Arrange versions have new patterns or new cues, which also exist in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, but are never used. It is debatable how many of these were actually intended to appear in the game or were simply leftover data from the porting process.
Several scrapped new games also exist.
