{{Nihongo|'''Mr. Upbeat'''|ウラおとこ|Ura Otoko}}, also written as '''Mr Upbeat''' in ''[[Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise]]'', is an [[Endless Game]] featured in both ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', unlocked by obtaining 1 [[Medal]], and non-Japanese versions of ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', unlocked with 3 [[Medals]]. The player controls a mysterious little guy named [[Mr. Upbeat (Character)|Mr. Upbeat]], who must step over a metronome needle to the offbeat of the song.

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 needs 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.<br />In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', each step gives a point instead of one point for every 16 steps. In addition, the tempo change happens every 32 steps rather than every 16.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The High Score jingle in ''Rhythm Tengoku'' was repurposed from an unused [[Drum Lessons]]-esque sequence.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyEbA_LqC1M The unused sequence with what would be used as the High Score jingle.]</ref> Interestingly, this is the only [[Endless Game]] in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' to akcnowledge when the player achieves a High Score.
*In ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', Mr. Upbeat has the word {{Nihongo|ウラ|Ura}} written above him. This is removed in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''.
*Mr. Upbeat does not appear in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever|Minna no Rhythm Tengoku]]''. The game [[Manzai]] was substituted with Mr. Upbeat due to the Japanese-dialogue focused nature of the game.<ref>[https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wii/rhythmheavenfever/0/3], Iwata Asks - Rhythm Heaven Fever, 4. Music Spinning in Your Head</ref>

*If the word '''POSITIVE''' is put into [[Police Call]], the player will be pointed to there being a hidden word in this game (the word is '''MATCH''' which can be seen after getting 130 or more points). The codeword can be put into [[Police Call]] for an easter egg.

*The UK English spelling of '''Mr Upbeat''' in ''[[Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise]]'' makes this game and the [[Remix#Rhythm Heaven Fever|Remix]]es the only games whose names differ across the two English versions.

*An unused test-like game can be accessed through the debug menu of ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', where it is known as {{Nihongo|'''Metronome'''|メトロノーム|Metoronōmu}}<ref>[https://youtu.be/u0JxoSeliqI?t=160 Video of Metronome in action]</ref>. Here, the player must press the A button as the needle passes over the bird on the top, playing basically the same as the first test in [[Rhythm-kan Sokutei]]. It was reworked into Mr. Upbeat in the final game.
