{{Nihongo|'''Love Lab '''|恋の実験室|Koi no Jikken-Shitsu|"Laboratory of Love"}} is the 19th minigame of ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]''. The playable character is a scientist student who has a crush on her senior lab partner, and she, her senior partner and another student are conducting an experiment about the science of love. When getting a [[perfect]], the [[gift]] "Lab Journal" will be available to read in the [[Café]]

{{Nihongo|Fork Lifter|くしざし|Kushizashi}} is the 1st [[Rhythm Game]] of Stage 2 (6th overall) in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' and the 1st of [[Shop No. 4]] (100th overall), costing 10 [[Flow Ball]]s, in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
The male scientist student gets a flask tossed to him. He will shake the flask a number of times and toss it to the female student (the character played in the game). The flask must then be shaken the same number of times he shook it by relying on the tone of rhythm in the game. The player then must toss the flask to the other student in the lab. If the flask was shaken correctly and in time, all of the hearts made by both students will be combined and fall into the white bag.
[[File:Screenshot 3DS Fork Lifter.png|thumb]]
The player controls a human hand holding a fork. Very far away on the other side of the table, another hand is shown through a zooming bubble. When the game starts, the hand flicks beans towards the player, who must drop the fork to catch it at the right time. If food is successfully caught, it stays on the fork until the hand is lifted away and the person eats the food offscreen. While the speed the beans move at is always the same, their number and the spacing between them varies. At one point, the beans are replaced with pieces of a hamburger. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the previously blank, white background now has lines.

==Timing Notes==
|just=The fork skewers the food precisely on the center prong. If all the food on a forkful is skewered this way, the person gulps it down.
*Hit: The flask is successfully grabbed, shaken and then tossed to another scientist. The hearts will combine and fall into the white bag.
|miss=The food is caught in between two prongs, on the left if too early and on the right if late. If a piece of food is on a forkful this way, the person coughs.
*Barely: Grabbing the flask too early or too late will result in a heart either not coming out or floating away. If throwing the flask too early or late, it will cause the hearts to float away even if shaken correctly. '''A barely counts as a miss'''.
|through=The food zooms past the fork and an audience groans.}}
*Miss: The flask is not grabbed nor tossed, instead falling onto the counter and breaking into pieces. If the player holds the flask and does nothing, or shakes off beat, their hearts will not combine with the senior lab partner's hearts and float away instead. The senior's hearts, if left uncombined, will dissipate into skull shaped vapors.

* The hearts that come out of the flasks also tell you wether you were early or late. If it's a bit over the heart produced by your partner on the left, you grabbed/shook the flask early. If lower, you were too late. If it's right where the heart/hearts are before, you hit it just right.

* Breaking a single flask will cost you a Superb.

*There is a different opening banner in the Japanese version featuring an AIAIgasa (相合傘),which is the act of sharing an umbrella that can be considered romantic in Japanese culture. Whereas, the international versions had pink and blue abstract text spelling "Love Lab", along with a pink flask moving to the center in a choppy way.

The two players are tasked with catching speeding beans each with a fork. P1 has a blue fork on the left and P2 has an orange fork on the right. The hand shooting beans is now in the center and shoots two beans at a time to both players. At some points, one of the forks moves off-screen, leaving only one player to catch beans.
