"たたかって、 |
The Sick Beats Doctor (バイキンはかせ?, Baikin Hakase) is a character who kills Viruses (バイキン?, Baikin) with forks to protect a yellow organism in the Rhythm Game Sick Beats in Rhythm Tengoku and Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
Story
The Sick Beats Doctor is known to everyone in the lab and is at the top of his field of virus extermination. He uses a machine to stab the viruses with tiny forks "Because the side effects of medicine can be scary, too."[1]
One day, he received a message from his assistant calling for help with a massive virus outbreak. He experimented on the viruses using the tiny machine to exterminate them, which led to the production of a fantastic medicine.
On August 3, 2006, about five years after the doctor announced his new method for bacterial research in "Microbe Today", he and his students continued working day and night to catalog their newest data. While looking at a vial received from the mysterious Rhythm League, they discovered the Microbes.[2][3]

Trivia
- The color of the virus determines how many hits it takes to kill completely. In Rhythm Tengoku, the normal Rhythm Game only features blue ones, which take one stab. The Endless Game introduces pink and black variants, requiring 2 and 3 hits respectively, which gradually add to the challenge. A single black virus appears in Remix 7, being the only time the non-blue viruses appear in a Remix in Rhythm Tengoku.
- In the Endless Game version of Sick Beats, the yellow blob produces random objects (increasing in variety and amount as time goes on) every single time a virus is stabbed. It does not do this anywhere else.
- In Mahou Tsukai, whenever the Wizard makes a mistake, he summons a monster which eats the flower instead of it blooming. This monster has a face which is eerily similar to that of a virus.
- In Wake-Up Caller, the face of a virus sometimes appears over the moon.
- The date mentioned in 小さないきもの報告書 (Microbe Report), August 3, 2006, is the release date for Rhythm Tengoku. While this text explicitly mentions the doctor in Minna no Rhythm Tengoku, his name was removed in all other languages, as Rhythm Tengoku was only released in Japan, and Sick Beats would not be localized until Rhythm Heaven Megamix, and as such, the reference would be lost.
- There is an unused description for the Rhythm Game in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, intended to be used in the Museum. This description gives the character a name in each language (listed below), however, his appearence in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate gives him a more generic name instead, except for French and German where the unused name is used.
