— Rhythm Heaven Fever for Wii U - Nintendo Game Details

Rhythm Heaven Fever (みんなのリズム天てん国ごく^?, Minna no Rhythm Tengoku), known as Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise in Europe, and Rhythm World Wii^[1] (리듬 세상 Wii^?, Rhythm Sesang Wii) in Korea, is the third game in the Rhythm Heaven Series (second outside of Japan), released for the Wii on July 21, 2011 in Japan, February 13, 2012 in North America, July 6, 2012 in Europe, September 13, 2012 in Australia and September 12, 2013 in South Korea.

The game was digitally rereleased on the Wii U Nintendo eShop on July 27, 2016 in Japan, November 10, 2016 in North America, and November 24 in Europe. As the Nintendo eShop closed in March of 2023, this version can no longer be purchased.

Gameplay

Like previous titles, the game features various Rhythm Games each with their own rules, requiring the player to play in time to the rhythm in order to clear them. Unlike the previous game, Rhythm Heaven, which utilized the features of the Nintendo DS, Rhythm Heaven Fever for the Wii is limited to button controls. The game is played with the Wii Remote held vertically, with players required to either tap Ⓐ, or "squeeze" Ⓐ+Ⓑ together. At the end of each game, players are Ranked on their performance, with at least an "OK" rank required to clear it and progress onto the next. Each stage of four games culminates in a Remix, which combines all the gameplay elements of the previous games in one.

Much like previous entries, clearing levels with a Superb earns Medals which unlock extra content in the Medal Corner, including Rhythm Toys, Endless Games and Extra Games from the original Rhythm Tengoku. Games that have been cleared with a Superb may also be randomly selected for a Perfect Campaign, in which the player can try to clear the game without missing, with a maximum of three retries before it disappears. Clearing these rewards Gifts such as music and something to read.

Returning from the arcade version of Rhythm Tengoku is the Two-Player Menu, in which two players can play simultaneously. Levels played in multiplayer require players to earn enough points in total to reach the desired Rank and clear each game, with bonus points awarded based on the harmony between them. These games come with Duo Medals which unlock Two-Player Endless Games.
