[TOP 10] Rhythm Tengoku (Minigames/Music)
30Hello there! This is a video I've wanted to do since forever, which I'd also like to extend to the next entries. Of course, it's something subjective so take it like it is, just opinions.
It's my first time doing something like this, so feedback would be appreciated.
I was planning on doing a Top 10 Music or a Top 10 Minigames, but let's be honest, both the music and the quirky/funny aspects of the minigames are essential to the Rhythm Heaven series.
That's why I decided to do a remix of both aspects, that way some really good OSTs but forgettable minigames (IMO) didn't make the cut, and the other way too.
Well, that's all, so let's go.
NUMBER 10: Karate Man
We start with an odd ball. The first Karate Man is fairly iconic, but it's true that it's the most simple of the Karate games. Still, the song (while nonsense) is catchy as it's the gameplay. I replay it from time to time (specially in KaratekaMania),I just love these games.
Its sequel is better, and the increase and decrease is something unique in the Karate Man games.
Sadly, the sequel's song is a mess for obvious reasons.
There were many games fighting for this position, namely Power Caligraphy, Showtime and Quiz (don't kill me plz). Better luck next time!
NUMBER 9: Built to Scale 2/Polyrhythm 2
I hated this minigame with a passion, since I couldn't coordinate my hands for my life, but now it's easy pissy (the Perfect is a bit stingy tho).
The same case of another game which is in a higher position, but this game didn't frustrate me as much. Will we see another widget game in future Top 10s? Who knows?
NUMBER 8: Bunny Hop
A rabbit juping to the beat above whales and turtles to cross the sea and arrive to the moon... and it works!
NUMBER 7: Space Dance
Another tough one. Space Dance or Cosmo Dance? Both are great...the Cosmo song is really cool but I find the sequel easy and the wait is kinda boring.
Be careful or you'll be p-p-p-punched in the face. Maybe they should move to things more calm like playing ping pong or something (lol at Rhythm Rally 2 being calm).
NUMBER 6: Vegeta-Pull
The arabig song is so good, and the game itself is hilarious. The sequel has the same song and I coudln't pluck the very last hairs for my life, so I decided to go with the first version this time around.
NUMBER 5: Trio on Tour
The Clappy Trio was already good enough to make it to the top but this version is excellent. That last clap...
NUMBER 4: Bon Dance
There's always THAT game in each Rhythm Heaven game. You know, that game that takes you so many tries and you hate it so much...that in the end you can't help but love it when you finally get it right.
Well, Bon Dance is THAT game for me (to be honest, I got stuck with Bon Odori but Bon Dance is much better).
It sadly didn't make it to TB+ but I guess it was to make easier the localization. Let's hope its sacrifice wasn't vain.
/And we head to TOP 3. Pfiuu, it was tough. Any of these could have been the winner./
NUMBER 3: Night Walk
Ahh, Night Walk...the music is great and the gameplay is sorta addictive, just jumping to the beat (NG) while filling the sky with stars.
I prefer this version to the sequel, since you can play this version blind or simply because it's more relaxing.
NUMBER 2: Turbo Tap Trial
This was a really difficult choice. Both Tap Trial and Turbo are great but the gameplay of the second is funnier and challenger so that's why (in the cut version of the Top 10 it was Tap Trial).
I go back to play this game frequently, like the number one.
NUMBER 1: Spaceball
I know, I know...it's and odd choice, but I can't help it, I just love Spaceball. The mechanic is really simple but it really works and the music is gorgeous.
The sequel is funnier, of course, but the music is a mess for the same reason Karate Man 2 is.
Aaand it's over. Thanks for watching!
So what do you think? What would be your Top 10? Are they back for The Best Plus? I hope so.
