 Rhythm Heaven Megamix
|
Ringside (レスラー会見?, Wrestler Kaiken) is the 1st Rhythm Game of the fourth stage (16th overall) in Rhythm Heaven Fever and the 3rd of Songbird Tower (60th overall) in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
Gameplay
This game revolves around a Wrestler being interviewed by a Reporter after a match. There are three things the reporters may do:
- "Wubbadubbadubba, 'zat true?" (テケテケテケですか？?, Teketeketeke Desuka?)그게 정말 사실인가요? (Geuge Jeongmal Sasil-ingayo??). The Wrestler is expected to nod with an affirmative-sounding grunt on the beat.
- "Whoa, you go, big guy!" (すごいですネ！?, Sugoi Desune!)와!대단하네요! (Wa! Daedanhaneyo!?), the Wrestler is expected to flex and pose.
- "Pose for the fans!" (こっち見て～?, Kotchi mite~)여기보세요! (Yeogiboseyo!?), which is said by other photographers, asks the Wrestler to strike a pose. Sometimes this is followed by a newspaper showing the photo.

Trivia
- The basis of this game stemmed from the idea of cutting of a wedding cake, as while one would be trying to concentrate on the cutting of the cake, wedding guests would take pictures and request the person's attention. The developers thought that the idea of a cake-cutting rhythm game didn't seem too promising and came up with the interview scenario instead[1].
- The newspaper after some poses is "Nintendo Times", referencing the Rhythm Heaven series' developer and publisher company, Nintendo.
- In Minna no Rhythm Tengoku and Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+, the blue squares with stars have the word "YONE" below them; a reference to one of game's developers, Masami Yone. In all other versions, his name is ommited.
- In Rhythm Sesang Wii, the background in the Two Player version of Ringside has the same colors as the One Player version, rather than using the unique colors that all other versions use.
- In Rhythm Sesang Wii, the red and yellow stripes after a successful pose are replaced with orange and yellow stripes.
- In Rhythm Heaven Fever, the background in the OK epilogue has blue and orange stripes. In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, they are orange and yellow instead.
- This game appears in the "Wario...Where? 2: The Sequel" course. Here, the Wrestler is dressed up like Wario-Man, while the Reporter is dressed up like Mona. The real Mona can be seen standing outside the Rhythm Arena.
