 Rhythm Heaven Megamix
|
Ringside (レスラー会見?, Wrestler Kaiken) is the 1st Rhythm Game of Stage 4 (16th overall) in Rhythm Heaven Fever and the 3rd of Songbird Tower (60th overall) in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
Gameplay
This game revolves around a Wrestler being interviewed by a Reporter after a match. There are three things the reporters may do:
- "Wubbadubbadubba, 'zat true?" (テケテケテケですか？?, Teketeketeke Desuka?)그게 정말 사실인가요? (Geuge Jeongmal Sasil-ingayo??). The Wrestler is expected to nod with an affirmative-sounding grunt on the beat.
- "Whoa, you go, big guy!" (すごいですネ！?, Sugoi Desune!)와!대단하네요! (Wa! Daedanhaneyo!?), the Wrestler is expected to flex and pose.
- "Pose for the fans!" (こっち見て～?, Kotchi mite~)여기보세요! (Yeogiboseyo!?), which is said by other photographers, asks the Wrestler to strike a pose. Sometimes this is followed by a newspaper showing the photo.

Timing Display
- Perfect!/Ace!?: The player answers or flexes on the beat. A camera flash is seen. When posing for the fans, several pictures are taken and a radial background is shown. Sometimes, this background is replaced by a newspaper with the photo.
- Early!/Late!?: The wrestler coughs while answering. While flexing, the player flexes off the beat, as the Reporter makes an unamused face. While posing, the player poses off the beat, causing only one picture to be taken, and the screen turns grey and scratchy.
- Miss...?: Missing any command makes the Reporter give an unamused face. Trying to answer when the player is not supposed to causes the Wrestler to look to the side while answering, causing the Reporter to look nervous. Posing when the player is not supposed to makes the Reporter flinch in shock. Missing a pose causes only one picture to be taken, and the screen turns grey and scratchy. Newspaper shots show the Wrestler in an embarrasing pose.
