==Gameplay==
==Description==
[[File:Mr Upbeat.png|thumb|240px]]
As the game starts, a voice will count off a rhythm for eight beats. After this, a pendulum will begin to swing at the player. To dodge the pendulum, the player need to make Mr. Upbeat "step" as the pendulum nears his feet, which happens on the offbeats. To assist the player, the light on Mr. Upbeat's head will flash on each correct beat.

Every 16 successful steps, the pendulum will temporarily stop. During this time, the player will receive one point, and a new tempo will be counted.

In the ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' version, each step gives a point instead of each 16 steps. In addition, the Tempo also changes every 32 steps rather than every 16.

'''Mr. Upbeat''' returns as an [[Endless Game]] in the non-Japanese versions of ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''. Though the main premise is the same, there are a few notable differences from its original incarnation:
* The most noticeable change is that the game now counts one point for every successful beat performed, rather than one point for every 16 steps.
* In addition, the Tempo also changes every 32 steps rather than every 16.
* The HUD above Mr. Upbeat's head is now missing.
* The voice-over counting down the beginning of each new tempo change has a feminine voice rather than a masculine one.
* The screen appears to be far more zoomed out than before.
Mr. Upbeat also appears in the [[Endless Remix]].

==Trivia==
* Mr. Upbeat appears in the American, European and Korean versions of ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', but it does not appear in the Japanese version. It was added in by the localization team as a substitute for [[Manzai Birds|Manzai]], which was deemed too difficult to localize a game based mostly on Manzai culture.

*In ''Rhythm Heaven Fever'', once the player reaches 130 points (and every so often after that), Mr. Upbeat's light will grow over the next few steps, display a series of letters, and then go back to normal. The letters that pop up spell MATCH, which can be inserted into the [[Police Call]] [[Rhythm Toys|Rhythm Toy]].
**The game also takes Manzai's place in the [[Endless Remix]].
