Orders for robots are through the roof! I hope you don't mind pulling some overtime... (No practice.)

— Fiilbots 2 Description (Rhythm Heaven Megamix)

Fillbots 2 (かえってきた ロボット工場・オイル Kaettekita robotto koujou ・oiru" Return of robot factory: oil"), known in Rhythm Heaven as Fillbots (Japanese: ロボット工場 robotto koujou Robot Factory), not to be confused with the sequel in Rhythm Heaven, is the 3rd minigame in Rhythm Heaven and the 34th minigame in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. This game is about the fillbot factory where robots are made, and it's your duty to fuel them up with strawberry robo juice. Don't fuel 'em up too much. The sequel, Fillbots 2, is unlocked later on. It's also a sequel to Fillbots in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.

Gameplay

The object of the game is to tap and hold the stylus down against the screen at the right time to fuel up robots in order to make them functional, as well as releasing at the right time to prevent overfilling it. Filling them up too little or too much can cause them to not function at all. There are two kinds of robots you need to fill; a thin one (4 beats) and a fat one (8 beats).

Controls

Button Mode

• Press & Hold A button: Fill
• Release: Stop

Simple Tap Mode

• Tap & Hold: Fill
• Release: Stop

Timing Notes

• Hit: The robot will fly off if fueled exactly on time or do a little dance if it's not exact but still good enough for a hit.
• Barely: The robot will appear dazed and tilts its head from side to side if underfueled. If it is overfueled, it will grab its head as if it were about to explode, with its eyes growing large and small. A barely counts as a miss.
• Miss: The robot will continue down the conveyor belt if the player does nothing. If the player misses while trying to fuel, the robot's head will tilt. If the play fills the robot too little, it will have crosses on its eyes and appear dazed. If the player continues fueling too much, the robot will explode.

• In Rhythm Heaven Fever's game Cheer Readers, a Fillbot can be seen in the tutorial, appearing on the open books during the "Ok, it's on!" cheer.
• There was going to be a Fillbot 3 in Megamix, but it got cut for some reason.
  • There is also the practice theme found in sources for this game, but since it's not present, it also goes unused.
