Quiz Show (Rhythm Heaven)

From Atrocious Gameplay Wiki
Believe me. This won't feel like a quiz or be very rhythmic.

Quiz Show is the 1st stage in the 4th set(and 19th stage overall) in Rhythm Tengoku, a Japan-only prequel to Rhythm Heaven (DS) for the Game Boy Advance. The stage returned in Rhythm Heaven Megamix on the Nintendo 3DS. It is considered boring to quite a few players.

Why It Needs To "Try Again"

  1. The game doesn't punish the player for not following in rhythm. You can win by mashing the buttons the same number of times as the host.
  2. During the non-practice section, the host will sometimes add one or two more taps at the last second. This can screw you over if you don't notice.
  3. There is no music in a game that heavily relies on music. Only a short, 4-measure jingle when the host is talking.
  4. You can fail in the practice. Every other game in Rhythm Heaven lets you keep going on the practice until you land all the cues correctly. Here, however, if you make a mistake in the practice, you get a Try Again rank.

Redeeming Qualities

  1. Reading material received after getting a Perfect on Remix 4 reveals that if you mash the buttons enough, you can break the counters and the sign. This is actually pretty funny.
  2. When it returned to Rhythm Heaven Megamix, it at least encouraged you to be in rhythm where you have to copy the host's pattern and earn at least 90 points in order to get the Skill Star.
