"Excuse us. You look like a big, strong bear. Would you mind helping us weak little cats with our firewood?"

Template:Game-Nav
Template:Minigame infoboxLumBEARjack (マキネコ Makineko; Firewood cats) is the 22nd minigame introduced in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. In this game, the player plays as Woodcutter Bear; A bear who chops logs that are placed on a stump by Lumbercats.
A sequel later appears in Barbershop Tower under the title LumBEARjack 2.
You play as a a bear cutting pieces of wood placed by Lumbercats. Small wood takes only one hit to break, and medium sized wood takes two hits to break. The cats will sometimes place down baseball bats or cans on the stump, confusing the bear. During the gameplay, multiple Lumbercats will appear and dance in the background.
Notice that the large logs do not appear in this variant.

Tap: Cut the log
Timing Notes
Hit: The Lumberbear's log is cut in half, with a bigger log he will successfully hit the log.
Barely: The Lumberbear hits the log but it bounces off, A barely counts as a miss in this game.
Miss: If the Lumberbear does nothing the log falls off.
When he chops something other than wood, the confused sound the Woodcutter Bear makes is the same sound that the Wrestler makes when answering out of turn in Ringside.
The breath sound effect that plays when the Woodcutter Bear is finished chopping the last log is the same one used in the endless game Clap Trap.
The pun in the english version may be an attempt to hint at a greater analogy. In japan, the word for cat is also used as gay slang to refer to a bottom. This on top of the demeanor in which the cats talk to the player heavily implies that the cats are gay.
