This page is about the Rhythm Game in Rhythm Heaven and Rhythm Heaven Megamix. "I suppose" you may be looking for the character in the game, or the Endless Game in Rhythm Heaven Fever?

Gameplay

The Munchy Monk raises out his hand as off-screen people continuously give him dumplings to eat. He eats them by slapping his wrist precisely as the off-screen character says "Go!" to fling the dumplings in his mouth. There are three cues to follow:

  • Training 1 [Eat one]: The monk receives a single white dumpling with a voice saying "One! Go!" to indicate the timing.
  • Training 2 [Eat three]: The monk receives three green dumplings in a row with a voice saying "Three! Go! Go! Go!" to indicate the timing.
  • Training 3 [Eat two]: The monk receives two pink dumplings and must slap his wrist twice quickly to eat them. The voice says "Two-two! Go! Go!" to indicate the timing.

In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, the monk is redesigned, looking closer to his design in Munchy Monk in Rhythm Heaven Fever, as well as carrying a baby on his back during the real game. The background is more detailed and animated.

Controls

  • Ⓐ/Tap: Slap wrist

Timing Display

  • Perfect!/Ace!?: The dumpling flies into the monk's mouth and he successfully swallows it. If not interrupted, he blushes and smiles afterward while his mustache starts growing up.
  • Early!/Late!?: The dumpling flies and hits the monk's nose, making it turn red as he frowns.
  • Miss...?: The dumpling falls out of the Monk's hand (in Rhythm Heaven, this is also accompanied by a "doink" noise). If the player tries hitting the monk's hand just as the dumping is being placed on it, it hits him square in the face, with the monk looking confused.

There was a time I thought
that, but this one is perfect
for today's modern monk on
the go. It's adjustable, easy
to put on, and doesn't put
pressure on my belly.

Skill Star

The Skill Star appears on the second pack of three dumplings.

Commentary

The following is commentary given on the STAFF'S VOICE section of the booklet included in Rhythm Tengoku Zen Kyoku-shu.

Japanese Translation
つんく♂ 自分でつくっていてこういうのもナンですけどと、DS版では最高にお気に入りの曲です。本当はシューティングっぽいゲームになるのかなと思って、曲をつくったんですけと、どうしてまんじゅうをもってきたのか、よくわからんのです(笑)。まんじゅうが口に入ったときは、めちゃくちゃ気持ちいいですけどね。 Tsunku♂: I know it's strange for me to say this, but this is my favorite song for the DS version. I made the song thinking that the game would be like a shooting game, but I'm not sure why I chose to use manjū. (laughs) It feels really good when a manju goes into your mouth, though.

米 最初は「おやつ」というタイトルだったんです。だから、まんじゅうじゃなくてお菓子を食べてたんですけど、いつの閑にか「しゅぎょう」になっていました(笑)。まんじゅうを食べることがしゅぎょうのひとつ…ということなんですかね。 Yone: At first, the title was "Oyatsu" (snack). So you were eating snacks, not manju, but before I knew it, it had become "Shugyo" (laughs). So eating manju is a kind of "shugyo" (training)...is that right?
