Baikin Hakase (バイキンはかせ?, Dr. Virus) is the 4th Rhythm Game of Stage 2 (10th overall) in Rhythm Tengoku.
Gameplay
In this game, the player controls a doctor protecting a yellow micro-organism by stabbing viruses with forks. They use ✚ to shoot the viruses from one of four directions, depending on their placement on the map. If even a single virus gets to the end, the organism will pop.
Controls
- ✚/Tap: Shoot left, right, up, and/or down
Timing Display
- Perfect!/Ace!?: The virus is stabbed by a fork. The doctor gives a V sign and blushes.
- Early!/Late!?: The virus is stabbed, but only at it's edge.
- Miss...?: The virus gets through, and kills the yellow organism, causing the doctor to turn blue in shock. Normally it respawns, but it doesn't do so in the Trials and the Endless Game where the amount of organisms represent how many lives the player has before the game is over. The player has multiple chances to vanquish the virus, though leaving it to pass through the first three tubes isn't counted as a miss.

Rhythm Item
| Radio | Offbeat Prescription |
|---|---|
  |
This item is surprisingly important to the doctor's work. You just can't cure diseases as well without some groovy tunes. |
(High Score: 120)
| Boom Box | Who Could Guess? |

Turns out that louder music allows for healthier patients. Can't say I would have guessed. |

Trivia
- This is the first game to not use Ⓐ in Rhythm Tengoku.
- This game is uniquely set up like a tower defense game.
- While stabbing a virus, followed by an off-beat virus, a star appears next to the doctor as he blushes.
- Although only blue viruses appear in the normal version of the game, a black virus appears in Remix 7.
- The music used in the Endless Game in Rhythm Tengoku is a slightly remixed version of the normal music. In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, the music is an arrangement in the same style as the original, except for the addition of an ending note in the Gatekeeper Trio's Trials.
- This is the only Endless Game in Rhythm Heaven Megamix whose Trial goal isn't to reach a certain score, but rather to reach the end. The trials last two loops of the game's music, just as long as the Rhythm Game from Rhythm Tengoku. However, the arrangement of the viruses doesn't match it in any of the trials.
- This is one of the few games that doesn't feature a Practice in Rhythm Tengoku.
- It was given a tutorial in the arcade version and a Practice in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
- This is the only Rhythm Game in Rhythm Heaven Megamix to return as its Endless Game instead of the normal Rhythm Game. Quiz Show, Shoot'-Em-Up and Bossa Nova also have Endless Games, none of which were in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
