Sneaky Spirits

These spirits aren't evil, exactly, but they're kinda mean: they'll laugh at you if you miss.

— Sneaky Spirits Description

Sneaky Spirits (しろいおばけ Shiroi Obake "white apparition") is a variant of Sneaky Spirits from Rhythm Tengoku, and later Rhythm Heaven Fever that appears in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. The player controls a bow & arrow, shooting ghosts that are trying to escape back to their haunted house using arrows. In this variant, the environment is green, and there is a fountain in the background.

Gameplay

File:Story sneaky spirits gameplay.png

The player controls a bow and arrow that is being used just outside in front of the house, always aimed at the door. Ghosts will start to peak above the wall and slowly creep towards the other wall. The player must time each arrow shot to the ghost's rhythm before they zoom to the other wall. The ghost's pace will increase and decrease during the game. Successfully shooting the ghost will result in the door opening and the ghost being thrown back into the house. Notice that these spirits do not hide behind the wall after 4 beats and on in this variant.

Hit or Miss

• Hit: Depending how perfectly the player hits the beat. The arrow hits the ghost squarely in the nose, on the cheek, in the stomach or in the tail. The ghost is then flung through the door of the house.
• Barely: The ghost manages to zip past the arrow, and shudders before escaping. A barely counts as a miss.
• Miss: The ghost zips through and giggles.

A Singular Item

This magic arrow can pierce a ghost! Impressive, right? (Of course, we only have the one, so we keep having to fire and retrieve it.)

Skill Star

The fastest ghost in this minigame will give you the star if you shoot him at the perfect moment.
