Toss Boys

Toss Boys is the 27th game in Rhythm Tengoku.

Gameplay

Setup

This game takes place in a place with a background of a plain color. The scene shows the Toss Boys -- two boys and a girl. Each one looks different, as each has a different color and either A, B, or + on their shirt; the three characters are: Aka-chan, the red girl with an A on her shirt, Ao-kun, a blue boy with a B on his shirt, and Kii-kun, a yellow boy who looks stronger than Ao-kun (whose voice is rather meek in comparison with his fellow Toss Boys) with a + on his shirt. Each one is standing on an unlabeled button that matches the button name on their shirt.

The three toss a beach ball that comes out of a square shape modeled similarly to the big buttons on the ground, in a game that vaguely resembles volleyball. There is no net, and they pass the ball to each other by pushing it up with both hands (rather than spiking or bumping it). The rally ends when Kii-kun, the yellow boy, pops the ball by clapping on it with his big hands.

Mechanics

Basics

Normally, the characters toss the ball for two beats while calling the target character's name in rhythm.

Example: (rhythm reads "1 2 3 4" or "1 2 3-3 4" or even "1-1 2-2 3-3 44-4", you get my idea?)

A-ka chan! Ao kun!

A-ka chan! Kii kun!

A-ka chan! Ao kun!

Kii kun! Ao kun!...

Special Moves

Each character has a special technique that changes up the rhythm for a bit.

AB Tosstoss

Though this could be considered Aka-chan's move, she does it with the help of Ao-kun. The two quickly toss the ball back and forth for some time:

Ao-kun! Aka-chan! Ao-kun! Aka-chan!

Ao-kun! Aka-chan! Ao-kun! Aka-chan!...

B Self-Serve

Ao-kun's move. He tosses it in the air, bounces it a few times, and tosses it really high... soon, it falls where another character resumes gameplay.

Ao-kun! Ao kun!

Ii ii ii Aka-chan!

~ ~ Ao kun!...

+ Quick Toss

Finally, Kii-kun's move. He simply makes two quick tosses to the next character.

Kii kun! Aka-chan, hut!...
