Tunnel (トンネル^?, Tonneru) is the 3rd Endless Game in Rhythm Heaven, unlocked with 12 Medals.

Gameplay

In this game, the player must hit the cowbell with the stick in time to the beat of the music, and keep it consistent for as long as they can. The game begins with a count as help (1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2). The driver occasionally drives through tunnels which muffle or completely silence the music to throw the player off the beat. The frequency of these tunnels increases as the player gets farther.

As the player progresses, the woman drives through the following environments in this order: an ocean, a flowery field, a field with the Stomp Farmer, an area with Moais and the Moai Kids, a desert, a city, and a starry sky. It then loops back to the ocean. In the second loop only, the ocean background is replaced with the flowery field background with signs that read (555) PECK-YES (2♪21♪98^?). This number can be entered into the Phone. After four loops, the order of the backgrounds is randomized.

-'''Tunnel''' is an [[Endless Game]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]''. 12 [[medal]]s are required to unlock it. The player plays as a character holding a tin and stick in their hand as woman is driving a car along the road. The player must hit the tin with the stick in time to the beat of the music (count 1, 2, 1, 2), and keep it consistent through the whole game. The driver will occasionally drive through tunnels which will silence the music to throw off the player. If hitting the tin becomes off beat too long, the woman will become irritated and stop the car, thus ending the game. The longer she drives will determine the player's score.
