{{Nihongo|Ringside|レスラー<ruby>会<rt>かい</rt>見<rt>けん</rt></ruby>|Wrestler Kaiken}} is the 1st [[Rhythm Game]] of Stage 4 (16th overall) in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' and the 3rd of [[Songbird Tower]] (60th overall) in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
In this game, you play as a [[Reporter & Wrestler|wrestler being interviewed by a reporter]] after a match. When asked "Wubbadubbadubba, is that true?" ('''Japanese''': ペケペケペケですか？ ''pekepekepeke desuka?'','' '''''Korean''': 그게 정말 사실인가요? ''geuge jeongmal sasil-ingayo?''), the player must simply nod "yeah". When complimented with a "Woah, you go, big guy!" ('''Japanese''': へえ～すごいですネ！ ''Hee sugoi desu ne!'', '''Korean''': 와!대단하네요! ''wa!daedanhaneyo!'' ), the player must flex their bicep. Finally, when the photographers call out "Pose for the fans!" ('''Japanese''': こっち見て！ ''Kotchi mite!,'' '''Korean''': 여기보세요! ''yeogiboseyo!''), the player must strike a pose.

This game revolves around a [[Reporter & Wrestler|Wrestler being interviewed by a Reporter]] after a match. There are three things the reporters may do:
Near the end of the game, the "pose for the fans" may be followed by a newspaper of the event with a photo taken from the event.
*{{Nihongo|"Wubbadubbadubba, 'zat true?"|テケテケテケですか？|Teketeketeke Desuka?}} {{Nihongo|그게 정말 사실인가요?|Geuge Jeongmal Sasil-ingayo?}}. The Wrestler is expected to nod with an affirmative-sounding grunt on the beat.
*{{Nihongo|"Whoa, you go, big guy!"|すごいですネ！|Sugoi Desune!}} {{Nihongo|와!대단하네요!|Wa! Daedanhaneyo!}}, the Wrestler is expected to flex and pose.
*{{Nihongo|"Pose for the fans!"|こっち見て～|Kotchi mite~}} {{Nihongo|여기보세요!|Yeogiboseyo!}}, which is said by other photographers, asks the Wrestler to strike a pose. Sometimes this is followed by a newspaper showing the photo.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Parodies of Ringside has appeared all over the Internet, particularly YouTube, showcasing a character and an odd phrase or personality trait of said character. This is documented on [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/x-interviews its page on Know Your Meme].
*The newspaper after some poses is "Nintendo Times", referencing the ''[[Rhythm Heaven (series)|Rhythm Heaven Series]]''' developer and publisher company, [[niwanetwork:Nintendo|Nintendo]].
*The newspaper that can pop up after a successful "Pose for the fans!" command says "Nintendo Times" on it, referencing the Rhythm Heaven series' developer and publisher company, [[wikipedia:Nintendo|Nintendo]].
*This game appears in the "[[Wario...Where? 2: The Sequel]]" [[Challenge Train]] course. Here, the [[Wrestler]] is dressed up like [[Wario-Man]], while the [[Reporter]] is dressed up like [[Mona]]. The real [[Mona]] can be seen standing outside the Rhythm Arena.
*The "Wubbadubbadubba" commands that are stated as "questions" appear to suggest that the wrestler is not actually listening to the reporter, and is just responding with the same thing each time. This is supported by the game's reading material, which has the wrestler saying "Eh" to all the questions, despite them being actual questions.
==Development History==
*In the Japanese version, while reading the practice, the reporter will say 「〜〜〜ですか？」 ("〜〜〜desuka?"). The 〜 probably means the words that he isn't listening to
{{Main|Ringside/Development}}
*In the Japanese version, the blue squares with stars say "YONE"; a reference to one of game's developers, Masami Yone, whose notebook sketches resulted in the concept of Ringside. In the American, European and Korean versions of the game, his name is omitted.
**In Nintendo's Iwata Asks, Masami Yone stated that the basis of the idea stemmed from the cutting of a wedding cake. He mentions that while one would be trying to concentrate on the cutting of the cake, wedding guests would take pictures and request the person's attention. He thought that the idea of a cake-cutting rhythm game didn't seem too promising and came up with the interview scenario instead.<ref>[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wii/rhythmheavenfever/0/2 Iwata Asks - Rhythm Heaven Fever, 3. ''Wedding Cake and "Ringside".'']</ref>
*Ringside is included in the [[Rhythm Heaven Megamix Demo]], but only its practice session is playable. Once practice is completed, the demo ends. This makes Ringside the only rhythm game included in the demo unavailable for play.
*In ''Rhythm Heaven Fever'', the background in the OK rate has blue and orange stripes in it, but in ''Megamix'', it was fixed to have orange and yellow stripes instead, just like in the game when the Wrestler is doing poses. This happens in the Korean version of Fever, as well.
*This game appears in the "Wario...Where? 2: The Sequel" [[Challenge Train]]. In this version, you play as [[Wrestler]], dressed like [[Wario-Man|Wario-Man.]] who is getting interviewed by [[Reporter]], dressed like [[Mona]]. Mona herself can be seen outside the Rhythm Arena at the very beginning and at the end of the game.
*In the Japanese version of this game, there are 2 variants for "Wubbadubbadubba, is that true?" and 2 variants for "Woah, you go big guy!". However, in the US version of this game, there are 3 variants for the 2 commands listed earlier.

Ringside
Live from ringside! We hear the champ's innermost thoughts and feelings after the match!
"Wubbadubbadubba, 'zat true?" (テケテケテケですか？?, Teketeketeke Desuka?) 그게 정말 사실인가요? (Geuge Jeongmal Sasil-ingayo??). The Wrestler is expected to nod with an affirmative-sounding grunt on the beat.
"Whoa, you go, big guy!" (すごいですネ！?, Sugoi Desune!) 와!대단하네요! (Wa! Daedanhaneyo!?), the Wrestler is expected to flex and pose.
"Pose for the fans!" (こっち見て～?, Kotchi mite~) 여기보세요! (Yeogiboseyo!?), which is said by other photographers, asks the Wrestler to strike a pose. Sometimes this is followed by a newspaper showing the photo.
Perfect!/Ace!?: The player answers or flexes on the beat. A camera flash is seen. When posing for the fans, several pictures are taken and a radial background is shown. Sometimes, this background is replaced by a newspaper with the photo.
Early!/Late!?: The wrestler coughs while answering. While flexing, the player flexes off the beat, as the Reporter makes an unamused face. While posing, the player poses off the beat, causing only one picture to be taken, and the screen turns gray and scratchy.

Trying to answer when the player is not supposed to causes the Wrestler to look to the side while answering, causing the Reporter to look nervous. Posing when the player is not supposed to makes the Reporter flinch in shock. Missing a pose causes only one picture to be taken, and the screen turns gray and scratchy.
