{{Nihongo|'''Mr. Upbeat'''|ウラおとこ|Ura Otoko|Backwards Boy}} is an [[Endless Games|Endless Game]] featured in both ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', unlocked by obtaining 1 [[Medal]], and non-Japanese versions of ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', unlocked with 3 [[Medals]]. The player controls a stick figure named [[Mr. Upbeat (character)|Mr. Upbeat]], who must step over a metronome needle to the offbeat of a song.

As the game starts, a voice will count off a rhythm for eight beats. After this, a pendulum will begin to swing at the player. To dodge the pendulum, the player needs to make Mr. Upbeat "step" as the pendulum nears his feet, which happens on the offbeats. To assist the player, the light on Mr. Upbeat's head will flash on each correct beat. Every 16 successful steps, the pendulum will temporarily stop. During this time, the player will receive one point, and a new tempo will be counted.<br />In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever|Rhythm Heaven Fever's]]'' version, each step gives a point instead of one point for every 16 steps. In addition, the tempo change happens every 32 steps rather than every 16.

 

*Miss: Mr. Upbeat will let out a cry and fall over, as the score is tallied with him looking exhausted. '''One miss ends the game.'''

**The game also takes Manzai's place in the [[Endless Remix]].

*Mr. Upbeat is featured in a "Read Something" [[Gift]] in ''Rhythm Heaven Fever''. It is the 22nd text gift, entitled "[[A Musical Term]]". It is unlocked by [[Perfect|perfecting]] [[Karate Man 2 (Wii)|Karate Man 2]].
