{{Nihongo|'''Tanooki & Monkey'''|たぬき＆モンキー|Tanuki & monkī}} is an unused minigame found within [[Rhythm Tengoku]]. Here, you play as a monkey-like drummer, Moné, who has to copy a [[Monkey|monkey]] & raccoon named Salu & Ponta, respectively.
==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
You’re the drummer on the far right. You have to copy the drumming patterns of Ponta & Salu. When Salu plays the snare with his left hand, it is expected that A will be pressed to play the snare drum with your right hand. When he plays with his left hand, it is expected that D-Pad Right is used to drum it with your right hand. However, the full drum controls are available; therefore, the player doesn't have to use the respective hand to drum. When Ponta plays his tom-tom, use D-Pad Down to copy him. You get three tries for each pattern. At the end of the game, you’ll get a numbered high score, like in Tengoku’s [[Rhythm Test]] & [[Rhythm Heaven Megamix|Megamix]]. However, when you get a game over, the game will abruptly end, thus giving you a zero.

When Saru plays the snare with his left hand, it is expected that Ⓐ will be pressed to play the snare drum with the player's left hand. When he plays with his left hand, it is expected that Right on ✚ is used to drum with the player's right hand. When Ponta plays his tom-tom, Down on ✚ is used to copy him. However, the full controls from [[Drum Lesson]] are available; therefore, the player doesn't have to use the respective hand to drum.
The player gets three tries for each pattern. At the end of the game, a numbered score is received, like in [[Rhythm-kan Check]]. However, losing the pattern three times results in a game over, and 0 points.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* As mentioned in the [https://www.1101.com/nintendo/rythm_heaven2/07.html Hobonichi interview], this minigame was one of the over 20 original rhythm games.
*This [[Rhythm Game]] has no known name inside of ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' itself; however, the name "Tanuki & Monkey" is mentioned in a list of names belonging to many games that were [[List of Scrapped Rhythm Games#Rhythm Tengoku|cut]] from ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]''<ref name="Hobo"/>. It is reasonable to assume it is referring to this game; however, it must be noted it is conjecture.
*The drummer featured in this game also appears in an unused intro sequence, where they take lessons from [[Samurai Drummer]] directly. One lesson has the drummer hit the beat as soon as the music starts.
**The first song from this sequence was repurposed as the High Score jingle in [[Mr. Upbeat]], the second was expanded into the second song used in [[Rap Machine]], while the third goes unused completely.
**The second sequence begins with [[Samurai Drummer]] playing a relatively simple pattern, then goes crazy on the drums, and asks the drummer to copy it. As soon as the player gets to the crazy drumming, [[Samurai Drummer]] stops them and says he was just kidding with that part. The player receives a numbered score after completing these sequences like in Tanuki & Monkey.
*In the final game, the role of the monkey-like drummer was essentially taken by [[Anata]].

Let's table this for now...
The following content comes from pre-release material, was changed in other regions, or is unused in the game.
He's big and tough! And his name is Wrestler!
An official name for the page has not been found, so it has been given a conjectural title by the editors. If an official name is found, it is requested that the page should be moved to the correct name.
Fun is the universal language.
While the title of this page is official, it comes from a non-English source. If an official name from an English source is found, the page should be moved to its appropriate title.
We'll need more research. And maybe a dance party.
The player controls the drummer on the far right. Their task is to copy the patters that Monkey and Ponta play.
When Saru plays the snare with his left hand, it is expected that Ⓐ will be pressed to play the snare drum with the player's left hand. When he plays with his left hand, it is expected that Right on ✚ is used to drum with the player's right hand. When Ponta plays his tom-tom, Down on ✚ is used to copy him. However, the full controls from Drum Lesson are available; therefore, the player doesn't have to use the respective hand to drum.
The player gets three tries for each pattern. At the end of the game, a numbered score is received, like in Rhythm-kan Check. However, losing the pattern three times results in a game over, and 0 points.

This Rhythm Game has no known name inside of Rhythm Tengoku itself; however, the name "Tanuki & Monkey" is mentioned in a list of names belonging to many games that were cut from Rhythm Tengoku[1]. It is reasonable to assume it is referring to this game; however, it must be noted it is conjecture.
The drummer featured in this game also appears in an unused intro sequence, where they take lessons from Samurai Drummer directly. One lesson has the drummer hit the beat as soon as the music starts.
The first song from this sequence was repurposed as the High Score jingle in Mr. Upbeat, the second was expanded into the second song used in Rap Machine, while the third goes unused completely.
The second sequence begins with Samurai Drummer playing a relatively simple pattern, then goes crazy on the drums, and asks the drummer to copy it. As soon as the player gets to the crazy drumming, Samurai Drummer stops them and says he was just kidding with that part. The player receives a numbered score after completing these sequences like in Tanuki & Monkey.
In the final game, the role of the monkey-like drummer was essentially taken by Anata.
Development History
How important are these widget things, anyway?
The following should be done: Make a page for the unused content of this game, as ironic as that is. It would likely have to be titled "Opening/Development" as the same scene is used for the opening and aforementioned intoduction-like sequences You can help Rhythm Heaven Wiki by doing it.
