Along the way, you’ll help an eccentric cast of characters by helping them get their flow back. It is centred on helping a boy get back to his home in the sky (known as Heaven World).

Rhythm Heaven Megamix is the first game in the series to have an actual storyline. I’m a huge fan of over the top Japanese influenced games, and this is peak zaniness. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell while playing if you’re going to pass or not until the game is over, which means repeating the entire mini-game instead of quickly choosing to restart and save yourself time, though the option to restart is there. While hitting notes slightly early or late still count, it provides fewer points-meaning you may fail the game.

I rarely found myself hitting notes precisely when intended, and I’m a seasoned veteran of the genre. On top of that, the timing required to hit notes perfectly demands the most precision I’ve ever encountered.

The fact that there is no guide will surely turn some off, as it makes Rhythm Heaven Megamix far more difficult than most music games I’ve played.
