The Third Gate
The Third Gate (第3の門?, Dai 3 no Mon) is situated between Songbird Land and Lush Woods in Earth World in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
Story
After Tibby and the player help Eglantine in Songbird Land, they come across the Gatekeeper Trio who block their path once again. They force the player to Practice playing Charging Chicken to learn the rules, then they each present a Trial of the game of varying difficulty, and challenge charge:
- Saffron Trial: Easy / 1 Play: 20
- Saltwater Trial: Normal / 1 Play: 12
- Paprika Trial: Hard / 1 Play: 8
After clearing one of the Trials, the trio open the gate to Lush Woods.
The player can always go back and try the other Trials. The player can replay cleared Trials for free. If the player spends 30[citation needed] Coins without clearing any of the trials, the Gatekeeper Trio allow them to continue anyway.
If the player clears all three Trials, they unlock the Endless Game for Charging Chicken at the Museum.
Dialogue
The player is given a choice to play the game now, or to return later. This section presents the dialogue if the player chooses no the first time, and returns later. Also included is the dialogue if the player clears all three Trials, and the one if they have to skip it.
