Monster Tennis

Monster Tennis (モンスターテニス^?, Monsutā Tenisu) is a scrapped Rhythm Game intended to appear in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.

Gameplay

This game does not exist in any tangible form. Unused text strings (which, curiously, only exist in Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+ Taikenban) show it would play differently to normal Rhythm Games, somehow requiring the player to use a Wii Remote, suggesting it was a scrapped project for the Wii intended to be revived in this game. The player(s) have to use a tennis racket to fight monsters.

Additionally, it would've featured four stages, several bosses and multiplayer. The debug menu contains entries for the four stages and their multiplayer variants.

Dialogue

Below is all of the unused dialogue associated with this game. It can be found in "pajama.zlib/tennis.msbt" in Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+ Taikenban specifically.

Note that phrases like "big brother" and "little brother" may be referring higher or lower ranks rather than literal familial reletionships.
