The player controls the tsukkomi (which is a [[Comedian Birds|crow]]), and has to press A twice when the boke (who is a [[Comedian Birds|vulture]]) stops talking. Sometimes the vulture ends up thrashing its head back, in which case you have to press the A and B buttons to slap it. You get one point for every successful action, but one mistake and it's game over!
The game revolves around two comedian birds who form the group {{Nihongo|Ottorizu|おっとりーず|Ottorizu}}.
The player controls the tsukkomi crow {{Nihongo|Kasuke|カースケ|Kasuke}}, who responds to the boke vulture {{Nihongo|Kosuke|コースケ|Kosuke}} who says puns. Sometimes Kosuke ends up thrashing its head back before finishing the pun, in which case the Kasuke slaps him. Uniquely, the game's score is kept track of as the number of laughs, denoted with the symbol {{Nihongo|笑|Emi|Laugh}}, rather than simple points.
Every so often, the duo leap back and the doors in the background open up to reveal the words "SPEED UP!", and appropriately enough, the game speeds up.

* '''Early!/Late!''': If the player is a little late, the crowd will look at the birds with an annoyed look. '''A barely counts as a miss in this game, so one barely ends the game. '''
|just=The player correctly responds to the pun with {{Nihongo|"Hai. Hai."|はい。はい。|Yeah. Yeah.}}, and the crowd cheers. When Kosuke rears his head back, Kasuke slaps him while saying {{Nihongo|"Donaiyanen!"|どないやねん！|What the heck's with you?!}}, and the crowd laughs. One point is added.
* '''Miss...''': If nothing is pressed, or you're off-beat, the crowd will lose interest, and the birds will fall through the floor. '''One miss ends the game.'''
|miss=The player correctly responds to the pun out of sync. When Kosuke rears his head back, Kasuke slaps him, but mistimes it. The crowd looks annoyed.
|through=The player doesn't respond to the pun or Kosuke rearing back, the crowd loses interest, and the birds fall through the floor and the game is over. If the player tries doing any actions when they're not supposed to, Kasuke says "Hai!" or attempts to slap Kosuke (missing him in the process), causing the audience to look annoyed. This does not cause a Game Over, however.}}

==Dialogue==
All of the puns are based off of the object that they are talking about, whether it be sound or same readings of two words, such as "ame" being "rain" and "candy. " The jokes where the vulture is slapped is just a previous joke but he instead winds up. The crow speaks in the kansai (関西) dialect. Some jokes are repeated once or twice. After the last joke, he will repeat one randomly.

The jokes where Kosuke is slapped is a previous joke that isn't finished. Kasuke speaks in the kansai (関西) dialect. At around 47 points, some jokes are repeated in full, and after 60 points, the game is completely randomized.

* Manzai is a Japanese comedy routine that involves two comedians. It involves a tsukkomi, or straight man (in this case the crow), who reacts to the bokke, or funny man (the vulture)'s jokes and gags, often with slapstick.
*[[wikipedia:Manzai|Manzai]] is a Japanese comedy routine which involves two comedians. It involves a tsukkomi, or straight man (in this case Kasuke), who reacts to the boke, or funny man (Kosuke)'s jokes and gags, often with slapstick.
* Many of the voices that appear in this game are recorded in-house.<ref name="us">[https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wii/rhythmheavenfever/0/3], Iwata Asks - Rhythm Heaven Fever, 3. Wedding Cake and "Ringside".</ref>
**The idea of a manzai routine was used before in [[Rhythm Shiryo Shitsu#リズム漫才 (Rhythm Manzai)|Rhythm Manzai]] in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]''.
* This game was apparently intended to be a [[Rhythm Game]] instead of/as well as an [[Endless Game]]. It's name can be found grouped together with other Rhythm Games in the message files (listed below). The other entry of the name is grouped with the Endless Games, and is replaced accordingly with [[Mr. Upbeat]].
*Many of the voices in the game were recorded in-house<ref name="us"/>.
**In addition, there is a file for prologue textures for this game (named "layout_prologue_manzai_ver0.szs", the file itself is empty), which supports this idea as in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', only Rhythm Games have a prologue.
**Interestingly, there is a Voice Version of the song in ''[[Minna no Rhythm Tengoku Zen Kyoku-shu]]'' which uses different takes for the voice clips, while also lacking the sound effects. The order of the puns is also different from the 29th one onward.
*Most of the assets for the game were removed from the international version of ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''. The only remnants are the unused prologue file, the music and the unused names (the actual dialogue was blanked out in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', and each line was replaced with "Comedy Routine" in ''Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise'').
*Inputting the code word {{Nihongo|まさにべつもの}} in [[Police Call]] gives the player a tip about there being a code word in this game (the word is {{Nihongo|しあいみせて}}: after a few speed ups, the sliding doors show the code word instead). The code word can be put into [[Police Call]] for an easter egg.
**Inputting the code word {{Nihongo|ねたばらし}}, found in [[Wake-Up Caller]], in [[Police Call]] will play a version of Manzai with voice clips, though it is different to the Voice Version mentioned above.
*As the game was replaced with [[Mr. Upbeat]] overseas, which in turn was made to be the 1st [[Endless Game]] rather than the 4th, the rest of the games between them were moved up, and their medal requirements were adjusted. It also inherited the code words for [[Police Call]] originally associated with Manzai.
**For the same reason, the [[Reading Material]] "[[A Musical Term|おっとりーず]]" ''(Ottorizu)'', received as the [[Gift]] in [[Karate Man 2 (Wii)|Karate Man 2]], which originally contained a more traditional manzai routine between the two birds, was replaced with one related to [[Mr. Upbeat (character)|Mr. Upbeat]] himself. The code word that provided the lyrical version of Manzai, now replaced with {{Nihongo|BOUTS}}, plays a version of [[Rhythm Fighter]] instead.

The game revolves around two comedian birds who form the group Ottorizu (おっとりーず?, Ottorizu).
The player controls the tsukkomi crow Kasuke (カースケ?, Kasuke), who responds to the boke vulture Kosuke (コースケ?, Kosuke) who says puns. Sometimes Kosuke ends up thrashing its head back before finishing the pun, in which case the Kasuke slaps him. Uniquely, the game's score is kept track of as the number of laughs, denoted with the symbol 笑 (Emi?, Laugh), rather than simple points.
Every so often, the duo leap back and the doors in the background open up to reveal the words "SPEED UP!", and appropriately enough, the game speeds up.
Perfect!/Ace!?: The player correctly responds to the pun with "Hai. Hai." (はい。はい。?, Yeah. Yeah.), and the crowd cheers. When Kosuke rears his head back, Kasuke slaps him while saying "Donaiyanen!" (どないやねん！?, What the heck's with you?!), and the crowd laughs. One point is added.
Early!/Late!?: The player correctly responds to the pun out of sync. When Kosuke rears his head back, Kasuke slaps him, but mistimes it. The crowd looks annoyed.
Miss...?: The player doesn't respond to the pun or Kosuke rearing back, the crowd loses interest, and the birds fall through the floor and the game is over. If the player tries doing any actions when they're not supposed to, Kasuke says "Hai!" or attempts to slap Kosuke (missing him in the process), causing the audience to look annoyed. This does not cause a Game Over, however.

All of the puns are based off of the object that they are talking about, whether it be sound or same readings of two words, such as "ame" being "rain" and "candy". The jokes where Kosuke is slapped is a previous joke that isn't finished. Kasuke speaks in the kansai (関西) dialect.

Kosuke's Lines

ミカンがみっかんない (mikan ga mikkan'nai?, There are no oranges)
お金はおっかねぇ～ (okane wa okka nē~?, I don't have money~)
