Unbelievable! The microbes' behavior has changed! They're somehow more... jaunty. We'll have to observe them closely. (No practice)

Gameplay

Controls

Timing Notes

• Hit: The microbe will dash forward along with the other two microbes around it.
• Barely: The microbe falls behind and lightly bumps into the microbe behind (it if it goes too early) or the microbe in front of it (if it goes too late). A barely counts as a miss.
• Miss: The microbe is bumped by the microbe behind it and pushed forward.

The gameplay of two-player mode of Micro-Row

A version of the game can be unlocked in the game's two-player mode. Unlocking it requires the player to beat the original game and the previous two-player game: Ringside.

The game has the first player playing a blue microbe, and the second an orange microbe. The two are in a row of three other microbes, with one in front of and behind each player. The gameplay is the exact same.

Trivia

• The rhythm of this game sounds similar to Munchy Monk.
• When the screen is zoomed out, the path the microbes are moving in (and leaving shapes on) seems to resemble the dots around the Rhythm Tengoku and Rhythm Heaven logos.
• The bubbles in Megamix have more shape details than in Fever.
• The description for this game in Rhythm Heaven Megamix is taken from its sequel in Rhythm Heaven Fever.
• Rhythm Heaven Megamix has the double row cue, meaning Micro-Row 3 may have been planned for the 3DS.
• Micro-Row 2 appears in the fourth remixes of both Rhythm Heaven Fever and Megamix (Remix 4 (Wii) and Citrus Remix, respectively).
• If the game is modded so that the game has much more cues, the microbes will eventually teleport back to where the game begun.
