Hair Vegetables

Hairy Vegetables are onions, potatoes and beets that appear in Rhythm Tengoku, Rhythm Heaven, and Rhythm Heaven Megamix.

Physical Appearance

The onions are yellow. They have big noses, big eyes with small pupils, whiskers, and big lips. They have darker yellow, vertical stripes over their bodies.

The potatoes are light brown with spots over them. They have the same eyes, noses, whiskers, and lips as the onions.

Lastly, the beets are purple with swirly patterns. Yet again, they share the same facial features as two previously mentioned vegetables.

Story

The Rhythm Tengoku email Letter to the Editor reveals that the person who plucks the vegetables is retired and they grow vegetables to pass the time. When his vegetables started growing hair, though, they knew the hairs must be plucked off, because nobody would want to buy them. Plucking the hairs proved to be a difficult task, until one day, they decided to play music while they plucked. The person says that playing the music actually helped a ton, and made the plucking enjoyable.

The vegetables seem to go in a cycle throughout the Rhythm Heaven franchise. In Crop Stomp, the vegetables are picked by the Stomp Farmer. Once they are picked, they get their hairs plucked off in Rhythm Tweezers. After that, the vegetables are eaten. Rhythm Tweezers 2's rhythm item in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, Miso Soup, says that the potatoes and onions go great together in soup. Finally, they are given a remembrance after being eaten in Cheer Readers 2.

Although it takes a lot of work to prepare the vegetables, they are very healthy. Their skins contain a lot of nutrients.

Purpose

In Rhythm Tengoku, the Hairy Vegetables appear in the second game Rhythm Tweezers. Together, they help to teach the player about copying rhythms in the first Simon-Says based game in the franchise. They also make you follow some very fast rhythms, and make you use the D-Pad for the first time.
