I should mention here that in almost every case, the minigame music is phenomenal, and several tunes have become permanently lodged in my brain (MONKEY GOLF!!!). I wish they could be toggled between minigames with the press of a button (like Select), but having to go into the Options menu is an unnecessary step. However, I found that roughly a third of the games seem to work between with button-pressing, while the rest are fine with touchscreen-tapping. In the Options menu, you can flip between them. One other nagging irritation is that you can’t swap between button-presses and touchscreen tapping on the fly. I understand the concept of a boss fight, but why make me pay coins for it? This is awful, and completely antithetical to how the game is otherwise played.
It’s not hard to do, but if you’re terrible at a given trial, this means you may eventually have to go back and grind for coins. You must complete a challenging task several times in a row to move forward (like catch a coin based on a silent beat) and pay coins to do so. The only major problem I have with Megamix? Between some levels, you must pass a “trial,” which amounts to a rhythm-based boss fight. You can take on more challenging minigames with up to three friends for Download Play (a situation I never found myself in).
In between minigames, you’ll be able to visit an ever-expanding Café where you can try your hand at pachinko and StreetPass boxing, or spend some loot in the store. You’ll meet colorful characters, like a barber or a guy who wears a car on his head, and help them by completing rhythm-based minigames. A little afro-sporting bear named Tibby falls from Heaven Land and needs your rhythm-keeping help to get back. In short, Megamix was essentially a new game from my perspective. Having not played the GBA or DS games, the majority of the minigames were new to me, and even a few of the Wii minigames were just beyond the reach of my working memory. Rhythm Heaven Megamix, the newest entry in the series,is a compilation of previous minigames with some original content for good measure. If nothing else, Rhythm Heaven will improve your sense of timing. The results are often hilarious, challenging, and rewarding. Rhythm Heaven manages to take that exceedingly simple concept and apply it to dozens upon dozens of situations and art styles. For the uninitiated, Rhythm Heaven is a sort of WarioWare-style mashup of rhythm-based minigames where your goal is to tap A or the touch screen in perfect time with the beat.
I very much enjoy rhythm games, and my experience with them is extensive so it surprised me that I hadn’t really bothered to play any previous Rhythm Heaven game-this series is directly in my gaming wheelhouse. I’m a relative newbie to the Rhythm Heaven scene, having only extensively played 2012's Rhythm Heaven Fever on the Wii.
