In [[Final Remix]], he shows up riding a cloud through the [[Munchy Monk]] and [[Ninja Bodyguard]] sections, before hopping off to swing on elephants and a giraffe in the [[Animal Acrobat]] section.
 
He learned all his tricks in the jungle from his sister (named '''Emma''' in the French version of [[Rhythm Heaven Megamix|Rhythm Paradise Megamix]]<ref>"Retour aux sources pour Emma, avec une séquence là où tout a commencé pour elle : au beau milieu de la jungle !" (Back to basics for Emma, with a sequence where it all began for her: in the middle of the jungle!) ~ [[Jungle Gymnast|La jungle des acrobates]] description, ''Rhythm Paradise Megamix''</ref>). In [[Jungle Gymnast]], she chases her dream of atavistic aerialism by swinging on not only elephants and giraffes, but also {{Nihongo|white monkeys|白い おサルさん|Shiroi Osaru-san}}, who lend many helping hands (and feet). She received her bow from her brother when she joined the circus, and wears it for every show and rehearsal<ref>"My brother gave me this red ribbon when I joined the circus. I wear it for every show and rehearsal. It's nice to have him looking out for me (or at least for my head)." ~ Rhythm Item description for [[Jungle Gymnast]], ''Rhythm Heaven Megamix''</ref>.
 
At the end of [[Animal Acrobat]] and [[Donut Remix]], the monkey lands on a gorilla's head as the audience cheers. In [[Jungle Gymnast]], his sister lands on a balloon piloted by a yellow monkey, who soon takes off.

The Monkeys (おさるさん?, Osaru-san) are a recurring species in the Rhythm Heaven series, particularly Rhythm Heaven Fever.

Showtime

The first monkey to appear is in Showtime, where it hits a switch to launch a ball for penguins to catch mid-air.

Showtime Monkey.png

The penguins used to have conflicts with the monkey at one point, not liking how the monkey is the one bossing them around. While one of those penguins was going to the bathroom one night, they heard a banging sound, which turned out to be the monkey training for the show. The next day, the penguins turned their heated emotions into an act.[1]

Language Name Meaning
Flag of Japan.svg Japanese さる Monkey

Tap Trial

In Tap Trial, there are 2 Monkeys (おさるさん?, Osaru-san) who instruct the Girl on when to tap.

Monkeys Special.gif

The monkeys are friends with the Giraffe, but they find it annoying how he stoically stands aside instead of tap dancing. After a while, the monkeys seem to have secretly changed their practice location without telling the giraffe.[2]

Under the influence of the girl, the monkeys change their appearence multiple times along with her.

The monkeys bring their A game in Tap Trial 2, changing their apperence once again.

Songbird Monkey.png

During one segment in Remix 7, the monkeys get replaced with Buta-san (ブタさん?, Mr. Pig)[3].

The monkeys return in Songbird Remix wearing bird themed hats.

File:Rhythm Monkey.png

In Hole in One, Monkey (おさるさん?, Osaru-san) is seen with his friend, Mandrill, working as a professional golf coach for the Golfer. Since it's the first Rhythm Game in Rhythm Heaven Fever, it introduces the player to the concept of rhythm.

It returns in Remix 1 (Wii), where it's fur is white and it wears a top hat. In Lush Remix it wears an explorer's hat. In Hole in One 2 and Remix 9, its fur changes to pink and red respectively, and it is now training the Female Golfer.

Board Meeting

In Remix 2's version of Board Meeting, there is a small monkey wearing glasses and a small pink dress replacing the Assistant. Instead of saying "One, two, three!" the monkey says "Oo-ookii!". She can be seen again holding onto Mandrill's hair in the Remix 9 version of Hole in One 2, where her pink parts turn red.

Monkey Watch

File:Small Monkey.png
File:Offbeat Monkey.png

In Monkey Watch, there are many Small Monkeys (おさるさん?, Osaru-san), also known as Watch Monkeys in Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise.

They keep the time on the Monkey Watch products. The player, who is one of the monkeys, rides the watch's clock hand and "high fives" the other monkeys as they pass by them. There are also ones which high five on the off-beat, who look like purple versions of the monkeys from Tap Trial 2. A single Small Monkey also rides in a hot air balloon at one point. In Remix 2, the Small Monkeys are high fiving on a giant, Big Ben-esque clock, suggesting these are the size of a normal monkey.

The purpose of Monkey Watch as a product is to make the user happy while looking at it, as the ads claim it to be "medically impossible" to frown after doing so, citing "We asked some science guys about it!" as proof. Using Monkey Watch continuously may make the monkeys tired, so it is suggested users to give them rest and the occasional banana for more accurate timekeeping.

Clap Trap

A yellow Small Monkey makes a small appearance in Clap Trap, holding on to the branch that comes down at times from behind the Clap Trap Doll.

Animal Acrobat

File:Female monkey acrobat.png

In Animal Acrobat, the monkey (おサル?, Osaru) (named José in the French version of Rhythm Paradise Megamix[4]) swings on elephants and Giraffes to earn his stripes as an official Animal Acrobat at the circus. He later appears in Donut Remix with blue fur and a cowlick. He seems to love donuts. In Final Remix, he shows up riding a cloud through the Munchy Monk and Ninja Bodyguard sections, before hopping off to swing on elephants and a giraffe in the Animal Acrobat section.

He learned all his tricks in the jungle from his sister (named Emma in the French version of Rhythm Paradise Megamix[5]). In Jungle Gymnast, she chases her dream of atavistic aerialism by swinging on not only elephants and giraffes, but also white monkeys (白い おサルさん?, Shiroi Osaru-san), who lend many helping hands (and feet). She received her bow from her brother when she joined the circus, and wears it for every show and rehearsal[6].

At the end of Animal Acrobat and Donut Remix, the monkey lands on a gorilla's head as the audience cheers. In Jungle Gymnast, his sister lands on a balloon piloted by a yellow monkey, who soon takes off.
