Wake-Up Caller
Wake-Up Caller (めざましがかり?, Mezamashi Gakari) is the 1st Endless Game in Minna no Rhythm Tengoku, unlocked with 3 Medals, and the 2nd in international releases of Rhythm Heaven Fever, unlocked with 11 Medals.
Gameplay
The player plays as an alarm clock who must, ironically, wake up the mechanical bird sleeping inside an old man's cuckoo clock at the right time. Each night, the bird requests a specific time for the player to wake up. A beat is then counted off, and the clock starts ticking from 1 o'clock. After roughly four beats, the screen fades out, requiring the player to count on their own. When the needed time is reached, the player must stop the clock. The bird then wakes up and checks the time.
This gets mixed up in various ways as the game progresses: sometimes the bird requests a time off the hour, and later on the music may cut out entirely. Sometimes, the music is played in swing rhythm, as well.
Controls
- Ⓐ: Stop clock
Timing Display
- Perfect!/Ace!?: The time shown is the exact time the bird requested. The bird then pops out of the cuckoo clock and toss a seed into a flower pot, which blooms into a petaled flower, and a point is counted. The old man smiles. The game continues to the next night.
- Early!/Late!?: The time shown is slightly off, causing the clock to adjust to the exact time, hiding the mistake. The bird pops out and tosses a seed like normal, but the resulting flower has no petals, though a point is still counted. The old man becomes embarrassed. The game continues to the next night.
- Miss...?: The time shown is completely off. The bird is shocked from waking up too early or oversleeping. If the player does nothing, time flies and eventually night falls, with the bird missing a day. Either way, the game is over.

Trivia
- Inputting the code word CLOCKWORK in Police Call gives the player a tip about there being a code word in this game (the word is BOUTS: every so often the flowers bloom with a letter on them, spelling it out). The code word can be put into Police Call for an easter egg.
- Various characters from Rhythm Tengoku sometimes make cameos during the nightfall scene. Examples include:
- A Virus from Sick Beats taking place of the moon.
- Ms. Whiskers from Rat Race standing on the window.
- Space Umpire from Spaceball in the sky.
