Less musical and more timing-related, here you'll be asked to flip a coin and catch it after three seconds have passed (without a timer), or charge up an electric car, removing the plug when the timer hits zero - only the timer fades out before it gets there, so you have to guess. Complete each characters' four rhythm games and they'll unlock the way forward, giving you coins depending on how well you do in each game coins which come into play a bit later.Įvery other stage sees you running into the wannabe sinister Gatekeeper Trio, who have a slightly different agenda - a single mini-game lies between you and the next stage, but now you must decide how confident you are at completing it, and completing it well. During your journey, you'll come across six rather strange folks who all have problems in their life and need your help to get things back on track, whether it's a mechanic that has "games gridlocked all over his garage", a hairdresser who wants to redecorate to attract new customers, or a bipolar bird-obsessive woman desperate for her egg to hatch. Rhythm Paradise Megamix is essentially a game of two halves - the first sees you making your way through the forest with Tibby in tow, heading for a tower on the horizon.

How does he do this? Well, by restoring the 'groovy flow' to a number of nearby towers, and blasting himself back home, of course - which is where you come in, as you and your opposable thumbs will be needed to tap buttons in time with the music, tackling all of the kooky rhythm games in each tower in order to send Tibby home.Įach song has one particular section that rewards you with a 'Skill Star' if you get it perfect - which means bonus coins at the end!

Now, instead of back-to-back mini-games, there's the story of a pink-afro-ed space dog Tibby, who, having fell from the sky, is hoping to get back to his home of Heaven World. Not so much a brand new game as a revamped best-of, Rhythm Paradise Megamix takes a selection of popular mini-games from the previous Wii, DS and Japan-only GameBoy Advance titles, adds a sprinkling of new rhythm games, bundles it onto a 3DS cartridge, and reimagines it into what is perhaps the most bizarre entry in the series so far.
