Gameplay
In this game, the player is plucking hairs off of Hair Vegetables. As the vegetables appear, several hairs grow in a rhythmic pattern. After the pattern ends, a pair of tweezers appear scrolling around the vegtable. The player needs to repeat the rhythm they were given to pluck the hairs. Some of the hairs are curly, requiring the player to hold the button or tap long enough to pull it out.
In Rhythm Tengoku, the background is white, with yellow onions and pink turnips. In Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade), the pink turnips are brown. In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, the background is purple, with more detailed onions and potatoes replacing the turnips.

Hairless onions for everyone! |

My grandpa used to cook soup with lots of potatoes and onions. He used the veggies with the hairs growing. I ate that soup just about every day... You'd think I wouldn't be so bald now. |

Commentary
The following is commentary given on the STAFF'S VOICE section of the booklet included in Rhythm Tengoku Zen Kyoku-shu.
| Japanese | Translation |
|---|---|
| 小黒 この「リズム脱毛」は、任天堂の米さんがつくった曲だったのですが、曲を聴くとアラビアっぽいのに、どうしてヒゲを抜くか？って（笑）。 | Oguro: This "Rhythm Tweezers" song was created by Mr. Yone of Nintendo, and when I listened to the song, it sounded Arabic, so I wondered why is it about pulling out hairs? (laughs). |
| つんく♂ まさかヒゲ抜きのゲームが出てくるとはねそえ（笑）。でも、すごく気持ちいいんですよね、このゲーム。長いヒゲを抜くとき、ポタンを長押しして、それを放すとポンと抜ける心地よさがいいですよね。やっぱり、プチプブプチ抜くのって快感やし、女の子にファンが多いみたいですね。 | Tsunku♂: I didn't expect a game about removing hairs (laughs). But it feels really good, doesn't it? When you pull out a long hair, you press and hold the button for a long time, and when you release it, you can pull it out with a pop. It's a great feeling to pull it out, and it seems to have a lot of fans among girls. |
| 米 初期の段階では、主役はおっちゃんだったんです。ツルツル頭に生えた毛を、もろに抜いちゃうような仕様になっていまして（笑）。毛は抜かれると痛いですけど、キレイに抜けると気持ちがよかったりしますので、そういった複雑な心理を表現したいと思って、アラビア風の怪しげな曲にしました。でも、開発の大詰めになったときに、いくらゲームでも、頭の毛を抜くのはマズイだろろうということになりまして、タマネギが主役になりました。 | Yone: In the early stages, the leading role was played by an old man. The hairs on his smooth head were designed to be plucked out (laughs). It hurts when the hair is pulled out, but it feels good when it is pulled out cleanly, so we wanted to express that kind of complex psychology, so we decided on a weird Arabic-style song. However, when it came to the final stages of development, we decided that even in a game, it would be a bad idea to pull out the hairs on the head, so the onion became the main character. |
Trivia
- The vegetables in this game also appear in Crop Stomp in Rhythm Heaven.
- A picture of an onion can be seen in Cheer Readers. A picture of the vegetables from Crop Stomp can also be seen in Cheer Readers 2.
- In Wake-Up Caller, when a flower grows, occasionally it has a Harry Onion, a turnip or a green onion with flowers on its top for a flower head.
- This game's music can be played in Hi-Hat, where it is known as "Hi-Hat (Arabic Theme)".
- In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, plucking a curly hair will always indicate perfect timing on the release.
- WarioWare Gold includes an abridged version of Rhythm Tweezers based on its appearance in Rhythm Tengoku in the Mash League as a microgame in 5-Volt's stage. The player can only use Ⓐ to pull the hairs, and the patterns last for 8 beats as opposed to the usual 4. Additionally, the third level features a grey potato originating from Rhythm Datsumo 2. While the potato also exists in this version of the Rhythm Game, colored light brown, it only appears in Remix 8.
