Flipper-Flop (コロコロたんけん隊 Korokoro Tankentai "Rolling Exploration Group") is the 3rd Rhythm Game of Barbershop Land (21st overall) in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. The player controls a Flipper who must flip rolls with the other flippers. In this variant, the scenery begins at night, probably a training during the bedtime.

The long version, Flipper-Flop 2, appears in the fifth stage of Rhythm Heaven Fever and Barbershop Tower in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.

Gameplay

File:Story Flipper-Flop gameplay.PNG

In this game, the player plays as a flipper, the third one in the row. After the caller says "Attention, company!", you must flip with the other members of the squad by pressing A button. The caller, Captain Tuck, will ask the seals to perform a certain amount of "flipper rolls", which are performed by pressing B button. Each cue goes at the same speed, but there are different intervals and mixes of them. Notice that the faster flip cue is not presented in this variant.

Controls

• Ⓐ/Tap: Flip
• Ⓑ/Tap: Flipper-roll

Timing Display

• Perfect!/Ace!: The flipping will continue. After a successful flipper-roll chain, Captain Tuck will compliment the team with a "Good!", "Yes!" or "Nice!".
• Early!/Late!: The player's seal will get close to bumping, and will get a worried look on its face. A small "tick" sound will replace the normal sound. If it happens during a flipper-roll chain, Captain Tuck will not get disappointed during the flipper-roll chain, but will act disappointed after the flipper-roll chain ends.
• Miss...: The player's seal bumps into the seal(s) next to it, causing it to get a silly look on its face while the other seals look annoyed. If the mess-up happens during a flipper-roll chain, Captain Tuck will become disappointed and he will count the remaining rolls in an upset tone of voice.

Trivia

• The "What are you blubbering for?" text in a try again epilogue screen of the game in American version is originally taken from the European version of Rhythm Heaven Fever.
• Flipper Flop is one of the few games that gained a sequel/threequel in Megamix. The others are Air Rally, Figure Fighter, The Clappy Trio, Rhythm Rally & Karate Man.
