When Tibby was born, [[Tibby's Mom|his mom]] made a [[Stuffed Animal]] doll for him to play with. Tibby would always play with it and take it to bed, but he eventually grew out of it and started playing with the other kids in [[Heaven World]]<ref name="itemJP">"テビリが生まれた時、テビリのママが買ってきた人形。ベッドの中で、テビリとずっといっしょだったんだよ。でも、テビリが友だちとあそぶようになってからは、ママのトナリにおいてある。テビリはいつも、ママのそばにいるよってね。" (A doll that Tebiri's Mama bought when Tebiri was born. It was always with Tebiri in bed. But after Tebiri started playing with his friends, he kept it in his Mama's private place. In a sense, it's like Tebiri is always by Mama's side.) ~ [[Stuffed Animal|ぬいぐるみ]] (Plush Doll), ''[[Rhythm Sesang: The Best+]]''</ref><ref name="itemKR">"테비리가 태어났을 때, 테비리의 마마가 사다 준 인형이야. 항상 침대에서는 테비리와 함께였어. 하지만 테비리가 친구들과 놀기 시작하면서부터는 마마의 방에 가져다 뒀어. 테비리는 언제나 마마 곁에 있다는 뜻에서." (When Tebiri was born, this doll was bought by Tebiri's Mama for him. It was always with Tebiri in bed. But after Tebiri started playing with his friends, he put it in Mama's room. In a sense, it's like Tebiri is always by Mama's side.) ~ [[Stuffed Animal|인형]] (Doll), ''[[Rhythm Sesang: The Best+]]''</ref>. [[Tibby's Mom]] keeps the doll as a reminder of her little boy<ref>"Tibby's mom made this doll for him when he was born. He doesn't play with it anymore, but she holds on to it as a reminder of her little boy." ~ [[Stuffed Animal]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>.

After clearing all of the lands along the way, the duo finally reach [[Lush Woods]], where the Green Tower, properly known as the [[Lush Tower]], can be found. Here they meet [[Trey]], who has been guarding the tower for a long time, and agrees to help Tibby reach [[Heaven World]] by having him and the player climb the tower, clearing [[Rhythm Games]] along the way to restore the flow to the tower, and thus activate it's power. Upon doing so, Tibby [[Farewell|rides a beam of green light up into the sky]], but this is not enough to reach [[Heaven World]]. [[Trey]] informs him that they need a rainbow of power for that, after which other towers appear, each based on the theme of each land, guarded by the same people encountered in them. After clearing them, Tibby [[To Heaven World|has enough power to return]] to [[Heaven World]]. The story appears to be finished, however, [[Tibby]] sends a letter to the player saying there's trouble in [[Heaven World]], asking for their help.

After clearing the [[Rhythm Games]] within [[Tibby's Mom]] and climbing to the top, Tibby tries talking to her. Although she doesn't respond, Tibby explains to her how much has happened along his way back, meeting a lot of people, and learning that everyone else has troubles like him. He says he has decided to live as one who helps others, but still gets no response from his mother. She then exhales, revealing she was actually holding her breath to cure her hiccups the whole time, which is what caused the spooky voice and gloomy skies in [[Heaven World]]. Tibby is shocked to learn this, but quickly smiles again, knowing everything's back to normal. [[Tibby's Mom]] notices her son brought along a new friend (the player), thanks them for helping her son and hopes they stay friends for a very long time<ref>"Is that so? Well then, thank you for helping my son. I hope you and he will be friends... for a long, long time." ~ Tibby's Mom, ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>. During the [[Gameplay Counts]] after this, Tibby is seen blowing bubbles with his friends.

==Trivia==

*In previous games, there would always be a character who served as a sort of "host", being the one who greets the player when starting and reaching the endings, and is prominently featured in the game. [[Tibby]] serves this role for ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' in the latter sense, and also acts as a more traditional "host" in the ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix Demo]]''.

*Although the information given in the [[Rhythm Item]]s is mostly consistent across languages, some details are changed. For example, in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Sesang: The Best+]]'', it is stated that [[Tibby's Mom]] bought a doll for her son<ref name="itemJP"/><ref name="itemKR"/>, while in other versions, it is stated she made it herself. In the Italian version, it is stated she made it for his birthday, rather than when he was born<ref>"La mamma di Tibby ha cucito questo peluche per regalarglielo il giorno della sua nascita. Ora lui non ci gioca più, ma lei lo conserva ancora, come ricordo del suo dolce bambino." (Tibby's mom sewed this soft toy to give to him on his birthday. Now he doesn't play with it anymore, but she still keeps it, as a memento of her sweet little boy.) ~ [[Stuffed Animal|Peluche]] (Stuffed toy), ''[[Rhythm Paradise Megamix]]'' (Italian)</ref>, while the German and Spanish versions leave it vaguely as being during Tibby's childhood<ref>"Fipsis Mama hat ihm dieses Plüschtier gemacht, als er noch ein Kind war. Er spielt zwar nicht mehr damit, aber sie bewahrt es als Andenken an ihren kleinen Jungen auf." (Fipsi's mom made him this stuffed animal when he was a kid. He doesn't play with it anymore, but she keeps it as a keepsake for her little boy.) ~ [[Stuffed Animal|Plüschtier]] (Stuffed Animal), ''[[Rhythm Paradise Megamix]]'' (German)</ref><ref>"La madre de Tibby le regaló este peluche cuando era muy pequeño. Como a él ya no le gusta, su madre se lo ha quedado de recuerdo." (Tibby's mother gave him this stuffed animal when he was very little. Since he doesn't like it anymore, his mother has kept it as a souvenir.) ~ [[Stuffed Animal|Peluche]] (Stuffed toy), ''[[Rhythm Paradise Megamix]]'' (Spanish)</ref>.

*There is an unused sprite of Tibby sitting at the [[Café]], carrying a backpack. While each character met in [[Earth World]] sometimes appear as customers in the [[Café]] after their respective Stages are cleared, Tibby never does this.
