Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise

Rhythm Fighter (リズムファイターVS^?, Rizumu Faitā VS) is the 4th Rhythm Toy in Rhythm Heaven Fever. It is unlocked with 21 Medals.

Gameplay

This toy features the Rhythm Fighters (リズムファイターVS^?, Rizumu Faitā VS) (also known as Rhythm Fighter in Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise), two combative robots, made of soft vinyl, who are extremely proud but have a glass jaw and low threshold of pain. The two fight each other in an arena, with Two Players controlling each. P1 controls the fighter on the left with an orange color scheme, while P2 is the one on the right with a blue color scheme. On the top of the screen, there's a green HP gauge for both players.

The game starts with a skippable "Practice" section, which is used to explain the rules, although the players are not given the opportunity to practice before the game starts. It is divided into rounds. During each round, a rhythm of beats flashes on the screen. One player, the attacker, creates an attack rhythm of punches and kicks using the beats. The other player, the defender, must then repeat the same rhythm to dodge the attacks. If the defender dodges at the wrong time, they will be briefly stunned and any attacks during this time will automatically succeed. Successful attacks deplete the defender's HP and when a player is hit 13 times, they are KO'd and lose the game. The two players alternate between attacker and defender, with each round changing the rhythm and tempo.

Trivia

This Rhythm Toy, along with Octopus Machine, is set up like a Rhythm Game.
- The repetitive nature of the game, fail condition, and lack of a proper end make it similar to an Endless Game, although there is no score to be kept.
The music from Rhythm Fighter is used when calling the code word BOUTS in Police Call, used as a background theme for a fight between two randomly selected characters.
The music from Rhythm Fighter is reused (albeit with a new, shorter intro) for Figure Fighter VS in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
