Gameplay

File:Bacteria doc.PNG

File:Doctor bacteria 3ds gameplay.png

The player uses the D-Pad (+) to shoot at the viruses from one of four directions, depending on their placement on the map.

Controls

Button Mode

• Left: Shoot Left
• Right: Shoot Right
• Up: Shoot up
• Down: Shoot down

Simple Tap Mode

• Tap: Shoot each way

Timing Notes

• Hit: The viruses will be stabbed by one of the 4 forks.
• Barely: The viruses will be stabbed, but barely touched the fork. A barely counts as a hit in the endless game, but it counts as a miss in the main game.
• Miss: The viruses will continue on its way. The player has multiple chances to vanquish the virus, however, when it makes it to the bottom right, it's done.

Template:Game-Nav Template:Game-Nav Template:Endless game infobox Sick Beats SP (バイキンはかせSP^?, Baikin Hakase SP), known as Sick Beats (バイキンはかせ^?, Baikin Hakase) in Rhythm Heaven Megamix is the second endless game in Rhythm Tengoku and Rhythm Heaven Megamix. It can be unlocked by obtaining 10 Medals in Rhythm Tengoku  or beating all three challenges in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. The game is an endless version of the original, ending once a single virus gets through to the end without being forked. The game gets faster as you continue, and new variations of viruses are introduced. Pink ones will take two hits, and will continue to a different direction, meaning a player couldn't use the same side of the D-pad twice when vanquishing a pink one. A black one has three hits, and follows the same properties as the pink.

Difficulty

The player has the option to select which difficulty they want in the Megamix version of the game: Easy (Saffron), normal (Saltwater) or Hard (Paprika). Saffron's Challenge: There are blue viruses and 3 Blobs. (Matching the Tengoku version) Saltwater's Challenge: The blue may skip 1 way & pink viruses are added, there are 2 Blobs. Paprika's Challenge: The blue may skip 1-3 ways & pink may skip 1-2 ways & black viruses are added, there are 2 Blobs.
