— Hole in One Description

Template:Minigame infobox Hole in One (ホールインワン Horu in wan) is the first rhythm game played in Rhythm Heaven Fever. Practice mode starts with the character monkey introducing the main concept of the rhythm games and explaining how rhythm tempos may change while playing the games. In the game, he teaches the golfer (the character played in the game) how to golf. The sequel Hole in One 2 is unlocked later on. Getting a perfect on this game earns the gift "Golfing Lessons".

Gameplay

Monkey throws golf balls toward the player, who must hit them at the right time to launch them across a lake into the golf hole. The rhythm tempo will occasionally change when Mandrill throws the ball much more aggressively.

Controls

• A: Swing golf club

Hit or Miss

• Hit: The player will hit the golf balls over to the island. Depending on how precise you hit it, the zoom bubble will show it either fall right in the hole and clink on the sides, roll around the hole's edge and then fall in, or land right next to the hole and zoom into it.
• Barely: The player will hit the golf balls, but they will be either knocked to the left or right (depending on how early or late it it hit), landing in water. A barely counts as a miss.
• Miss: For small golf balls, they will roll past the player, with Monkey frowning. For Mandrill's throws, they will fly into the golfer's leg, causing him to wince in pain.

Trivia

• This is one of the many games in the Rhythm Heaven franchise to feature monkeys. Examples from other games include Tap Dance and Fan Club
  • Monkey's design in the game appears to be based off the monkeys from Tap Dance. This design is also the influence for the monkeys in Tambourine, Monkey Watch, and Exhibition Match.
