 Rhythm Heaven Megamix
|
Monkey Watch (さる時計?, Saru Tokei) is the 4th Rhythm Game of Stage 2 (9th overall) in Rhythm Heaven Fever and the 2nd of Shop No. 6 (107th overall), costing 10 Flow Balls, in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
Gameplay
In order to operate the monkey watch itself, the player controls a Small Monkey holding onto the watch's hand. As the hand is ticks around the clock, other monkeys come out to greet the main monkey with a high-five to represent the time change on the wrist watch. On occasion, two consecutive pink monkeys appear instead of yellow ones, cued by an "Oookii oook-ook!" sound. These act as offbeats.
In the middle of the game, the screen zooms out to show the whole watch on a man's arm (also showing a monkey face in the middle), making it much harder to see the monkeys. After this, a monkey in a balloon appears, flying around waving at the screen.
Controls
- Ⓐ/Tap: Swing hand (hi-five monkeys)
Timing Display
- Perfect!/Ace!?: The player high-fives the monkeys, who proceed to cheer.
- Early!/Late!?: The player mistimes their high-five with a "tick" sound, making the other monkeys upset.
- Miss...?: The player fails to high-five the monkeys, making them hang their heads in shame. High-fiving when the player is not supposed to causes the man's arm to shake during the zoomed out. The monkey face on the clock also makes a hurt expression.

My parents bought me a monkey watch when I started high school. The monkeys are so cute that I forget about time and just stare at them. Kind of useless as a watch, isn't it? |

Trivia
- The Monkey Watch gets referenced in "A Musical Term", where Mr. Upbeat is talking to one about his problems[1].
- Monkey Watch is also mentioned in Bossa Nova at one point in Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise[2].
- The song for this game appears in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U on the Miiverse stage and in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where it plays on stages in the "Other" category, as well as Summit and Duck Hunt.
- The version of the song present in Super Smash Bros. has been edited to loop and it features the sound effects of the high-fives of the Small Monkeys integrated into the actual track.
- In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, the particles that come out when the monkeys high-five are stars instead of smack symbols. Due to this, the purple monkey's particles no longer fall off-screen.
- The girl that appears on the Try Again epilogue to this game has the same hairstyle as the Pop Singer in Rhythm Heaven's version of Fan Club.
