After the releases of Rhythm Tengoku on the Game boy Advance and Rhythm Heaven on the Nintendo DS. The prequel Rhythm Heaven Fever launched 3 years after Rhythm Heaven (DS). Soon the most-likely, final game of the Rhythm Heaven Series, Rhythm Heaven Megamix launched on the Nintendo 3DS.

Gameplay
Rhythm Heaven Fever features various mini-games with their own set of rules, requiring the player to play in time to the rhythm in order to clear them. These mini-games range from stabbing peas with a fork, to attacking evil spirits with a sword, and playing badminton in midair. The game is played by either tapping the A button, or squeezing the A and B buttons together. At the end of each level, players are ranked on their performance, with at least an 'OK' rank required to clear the level and progress onto the next. Each set of levels culminates in a Remix stage, which combines all of the gameplay elements of the previous levels in one stage.

Why Its Superb

 * 1) The concept of playing 50 different mini-games with their own rules and holding the Wii remote vertically with players required to either tap A, or hold A+B together while being on rhythm is quite fun.
 * 2) Tons of awesome mini-games such as Hole-In-One, Air Rally, Packing Pests, Flockstep and many more!
 * 3) *Who could forget the most iconic mini-game Ringside?
 * 4) Banger vocal songs such as "I Feel Fine!!", "Dream Of Our Generation", "I Love You" and "Beautiful One Day".
 * 5) *Even "Lonely Storm" came back with a different rock variation.
 * 6) Just like in every Rhythm Heaven Series game, each mini-game has goofy characters and wacky scenarios which makes the game even more memorable.
 * 7) If you have a difficult time completing a mini-game, you can relax and ask help from the Barista inside the Cafe.
 * 8) *You can't ask help from the Barista anymore in Set 8-10 mini-games and remixes anymore.
 * 9) Each set has a remix and each remix has their own type of themes.
 * 10) Remix 1 has a tropical vacation vibe to it.
 * 11) * Fun fact: All of the mini-games present in this remix has continuity.
 * 12) Remix 2 has a hard metal rock theme to it.
 * 13) Remix 3 has a kitchen theme as well as the first remix to feature a vocal song.
 * 14) Remix 4 has a traditional Japanese feel to it.
 * 15) Remix 5 has a prehistoric era theme.
 * 16) Remix 6 has a youthful carnival theme.
 * 17) Remix 7 has a spacey feel to it.
 * 18) Remix 8 has an old photos feel to it and is set to a song about unrequited love.
 * 19) Remix 9 has a stage set theme, with stage lights and support beams, with a black and red palette.
 * 20) Remix 10 contains all of the main mini-games, even the beginning test your rhythm mini-game!
 * 21) If you get a "Superb" on a mini-game, there is a chance for a Perfect campaign to appear where you can try to clear the mini-game without any mistakes 3 times before it disappears.
 * 22) *This gives a lot of replayability value to also challenge the players and earn bonus items.
 * 23) When you earn many medals, you can unlock endless games that can be played by two players and Rhythm Toys.
 * 24) Speaking of endless games that can be played by two players, Fever also now has a two-player mode where you can play some of the games with another Wii Remote.
 * 25) The credits mini-game Night Walk (Wii), the cast scene where they show all of the characters and "imagining them giving you a high-five" is a really nice way to end the actual game and provide additional content.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) It can be boring and repetitive at times.
 * 2) Since Fever doesn't have a latency calibration, all of its inputs in a HD-TV are slightly delayed.
 * 3) The triple fake out in Remix 10, the long "tap tap tap" in Remix 7, and that one part of Ringside in Remix 9 might throw people off.
 * 4) The endless mini-game Manzai has been replaced with Mr. Upbeat in localization of the game and is only available in the Japanese version (Minna no Rhythm Tengoku).
 * 5) * Although it could be because the jokes wouldn't make sense if it localized.
 * 6) Speaking of endless mini-games, to unlock the Endless Remix in Fever, you have to Perfect. All. Of. The. 50. Mini-games.
 * 7) * While the Endless Remix is a nice bonus for perfecting all of the 50 mini-games, some mini-games such as Monkey Watch and Love Rap 2 are difficult.
 * 8) Fever is only dubbed in English and Japanese. The previous game Rhythm Heaven (DS) had international dubs.

In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of one nine, two eights, and one seven for a total of 32 out of 40, and it sold over 100,000 copies in its first week in Japan while by the end of the year it sold a total of over 600,000 copies.
