Rhythm Heaven Fever: Difference between revisions

{{Nihongo|'''''Rhythm Heaven Fever'''''|みんなのリズム天国|Minna no Rhythm Tengoku}}, known as '''''Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise''''' in Europe, and {{Nihongo|'''''Rhythm World Wii'''''|리듬 세상 Wii|Lideum Sesang Wii}} in Korea, is a rhythm game developed by [[wikipedia:Nintendo|Nintendo]] and [[wikipedia:TNX|TNX]] for the [[wikipedia:Wii|Wii]]. It is the third game in the [[Rhythm Heaven Series]], following ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' for the [[wikipedia:Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance]] and ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' for the [[wikipedia:Nintendo DS|Nintendo DS]], and is succeeded by ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', released for the [[wikipedia:Nintendo 3DS|Nintendo 3DS]].

''Rhythm Heaven Fever'' was released in Japan on July 21, 2011; in North America on February 13, 2012; in Europe on July 6, 2012; in Australia on September 13, 2012; and in South Korea on September 12, 2013.

Like previous titles, the game features various levels with their own set of rules, requiring the player to play in time to the rhythm in order to clear them. These levels range from stabbing peas with a fork, to attacking evil spirits with a sword and playing badminton in midair. 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 the A button, or "squeeze" the A and B buttons together. At the end of each level, players are ranked on their performance, with at least an 'OK' rank required to clear the level and progress onto the next. Each set of levels culminates in a Remix stage, which combines all the gameplay elements of the previous levels in one stage.

Clearing levels with a Superb/High Level rating earns medals which unlock extra content, including Rhythm Toys, Endless Minigames and levels from the original ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]''. Levels that have been cleared with a Superb rating may also be randomly selected for a Perfect attempt, in which the player can try to clear the level without making any mistakes with the maximum of 3 retries before the perfect challenge disappears. Clearing these unlock bonus items such as songs, lyrics, & [[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven Fever)|Reading Material]].

New to the series (bar the arcade version of ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'') is a multiplayer mode, 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 stage, with bonus points awarded based on the harmony of the players. These can sometimes result in the rank going from an 'OK' to a 'Superb'.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/somj/norinori/index.html</ref> These levels come with their own set of medals which can unlock multiplayer minigames. They are earned by playing Rhythm Games, getting medals and clearing the Perfect attempt.

Producer Yoshio Sakamoto and Nintendo SPD Group No.1 were responsible for the programming, graphic design, and some of the music in the game. Collaborator and musician [[wikipedia:Tsunku|Tsunku]] and his music studio TNX created several of the performed vocal songs found throughout the game. In the English versions of the game, an endless minigame based on [[Manzai|manzai]] routines was removed due to the dialogue focused nature of the game and replaced with another minigame from ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' known as [[Mr. Upbeat]].<ref>http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wii/rhythmheavenfever/0/3</ref><ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pi9wrpbwfa4</ref> The European and Australian version of the game allows players to switch between English and Japanese versions of the soundtrack.<ref>http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/29925</ref>
