A refreshing change to the first five or so levels. I then had to let go of A at the right time to sing with the chorus correctly. After pressing A, the character stopped yelling. I was then instructed to press A to Shut Your Yap. The one I was assuming was me was just making an annoying, long tone. There were three kids standing next to each other in a chorus. Many games in the first couple of stages involved hitting buttons on the right beat, but my personal favorite level instructed me on how to “Shut Your Yap”. Different fruits fell at different tempos. One level had me catching fruit falling down some stairs. The controls center around rhythm of course, but even then it doesn’t get repetitive.

The levels are just short enough that when you score a 91%, you may find yourself trying again, as each level is enjoyable enough to replay and short enough to not take up too much time. Being perfect nets you a 100 at the end of the level, while being late or early, but still on the beat will net you less.

Basically, you can hit right on the beat, or be early or late. The controls are easy enough to learn, and somewhat challenging to master. While each stage is bizarre in a “how did you even think of this?” sort of way, the objective that follows fits within the quirky scene perfectly. You just climb the tower and complete rhythm games that are each different from the last.īeing the perfect concoction that the WarioWare series is known for, Rhythm Heaven Megamix has the perfect mix of random and entertaining. At least, there’s not much to say that would make sense. You and Tibby help various strangers (emphasis on strange) get their “flow” back through rhythm games and in return, they give you a key to their level of the tower so you can proceed to the next. You look for a way back up to this Heaven World and conveniently, there’s this tower that might reach it! This is where the game takes place. You help a little guy named Tibby get back to his home, Heaven World. Never fear though! Even with a story, this game makes very little sense in a good and charming way. It also features a story, something new to the series known for random happenings. It’s not actually a reboot or re-release of the previous games, but instead incorporates many old and new mini-games into the mix. This is actually immediately apparent from the get-go, as the game is just as non-sequitur and silly as their WarioWare titles. Rhythm Heaven Megamix is another fever dream from the guys at Nintendo SDP, the same Nintendo division that made the WarioWare series. Previously Released: Gameboy Advancce, Nintendo DS
