For example, in Air Rally, in which you play a game of badminton in the skies, the player is usually expected to hit A on every other beat.
However, it is necessary to listen for variations in the game's soundtrack to know when exactly you must hit the button. Most minigames just require the player to press the A button. Rhythm Heaven Fever is a collection of rhythm-based minigames, set to music composed by Tsunku, a Japanese songwriter and producer most famous for his work with idol group Morning Musume. The European version exclusively features the option for both the English and Japanese songs. These tasks range from hitting golf balls to having a badminton match while flying a plane. Like in previous versions, players are asked to complete zany tasks while keeping in rhythm in each of the game's stages. Kitties!'s files include a sprite for a kitty sticking its butt out.Rhythm Heaven Fever is a rhythm game for the Nintendo Wii and the latest installment in the Rhythm Heaven franchise. There is an unused asset of an unfilled middle Fillbot in the tutorial files of Cheer Readers. Interestingly, this arrow was also present in the sprite sheet for Lockstep in Rhythm Heaven. The Lockstep sprite sheet contains an unused arrow.
Tap Trial 2's files include a revamped spritesheet for the unused camel from Rhythm Tengoku's Tap Trial 2, but is just as unused as before, though it can be seen in-game by swapping Tap Trial's cellanim file with Tap Trial 2's. There is also a mic from the original version included in the files which also goes unused. There are sprites for the Space Umpire without its spaceship, which also went unused.įan Club's files include a sprite for Pop Singer's ponytail from Fan Club 2 from Rhythm Heaven that goes unused here, possibly meaning that the original Pop Singer was going to return. There is an unused Micro-Row minigame icon (from Micro-Row co-op in Rhythm Heaven Fever) for Micro-Row 3. The final version uses particle effects for the remains of the alien ships, as aforementioned. It's unclear where exactly it could be used.Ī test animation for every each of the Radio Lady's expressions.Īn early animation for an enemy exploding.

Interestingly, these sprites were also present in the spritesheet for Glee Club in Rhythm Heaven.Īn animation that goes through all of the enemy ship's remains. Glee Club's files include sprites for a chorus kid crouching down and up and gazing up that went unused. There are clippers and cones in the spritesheet which also go unused. This sprite was used for the Rhythm Tweezers sections in Remix 8 in Rhythm Tengoku, but goes unused here for obvious reasons, though they can be seen in-game by hacking. Rhythm Tweezers's files include a sprite for a hand holding a "Don't peek" sign (and two new signs presumably for covering the left and right parts) intended to block your view of the vegetables's hair. Interestingly, Joe's classic crouching animation with this piece can be seen in-game if you swap Karate Man Kicks!'s cellanim file with either Karate Man's, Karate Man Returns!'s, Karate Man Combos!'s, or Honeybee Remix Karate Man's, but it cannot be seen if the cellanim file is swapped with Karate Man Senior's. Since he has a new crouching animation which is the same as his Father's in Megamix, his classic one from the DS version goes unused. The blue, red, and his Father's variants are present in Karate Man Kicks!, Karate Man Combos! and Karate Man Senior's files. A "Hit 2" cue was present in Karateka in Rhythm Tengoku, and a "Hit 4" was in Karate Man 2 in Rhythm Heaven Fever, but the former was changed and the latter didn't make it into Megamix.Īlso in every Karate Man minigame's files is an unused Kick crouching startup piece for Karate Joe that was previously used in Karate Man in Rhythm Heaven, but isn't present in Megamix.
