Tanuki & Monkey

Template:Minigame infobox Tanooki & Monkey (たぬき＆モンキー^?, Tanuki & monkī) is an unused minigame found within Rhythm Tengoku’s game files. Here, you play as a cat-like drummer who has to copy a monkey & raccoon named Salu & Ponta, respectively.

Gameplay

You’re the drummer on the far right. You have to copy the drumming patterns of Ponta & Salu. When Salu drums with his left hand, press A to play the middle drum with your right hand. When he plays with his left hand, use the Right arrow to drum it with your right hand. When Ponta plays his drum, use down to copy him. You get 3 tries for each pattern. At the end of the game, you’ll get a numbered high score, like in Tengoku’s Rhythm Test & Megamix.

Controls

• A: Hit the middle drum with your right hand
• Down: Hit the left drum
• Right: Hit the middle drum with your left hand

Timing Notes

• Hit: You play the drum correctly, & the game will move on to the next pattern.
• Barely: N/A
• Miss: Salu points out that you did the pattern wrong & gives you another shot. When you mess up the third time, it’s game over!

Trivia

• Judging from the dialogue, it seems to be either an Endless Game, a Rhythm Toy like Octopus Machine, or one of the Drum Lessons
• It also seems to be a beta intro for Tengoku, judging from this video.
