This new watch works differently from most. You might want to read the manual to learn how to use it... |
Rhythm Heaven Megamix |
Monkey Watch (さる時計?, Saru Tokei) is the 4th Rhythm Game of Stage 2 (9th overall) in Rhythm Heaven Fever and the 2nd of Shop No. 6 (107th overall), costing 10 Flow Balls, in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
Gameplay[]
In order to operate the monkey watch itself, the player controls a Small Monkey holding onto the watch's hand. As the hand is ticks around the clock, other monkeys come out to greet the main monkey with a high-five to represent the time change on the wrist watch. On occasion, two consecutive pink monkeys appear instead of yellow ones, cued by an "Oookii oook-ook!" sound. These act as offbeats.
In the middle of the game, the screen zooms out to show the whole watch on a man's arm (also showing a monkey face in the middle), making it much harder to see the monkeys. After this, a monkey in a balloon appears, flying around waving at the screen.
Controls[]
- Ⓐ/Tap: Swing hand (hi-five monkeys)
Timing Display[]
- Perfect!/Ace!: The player high-fives the monkeys, who proceed to cheer.
- Early!/Late!: The player mistimes their high-five with a "tick" sound, making the other monkeys upset.
- Miss...: The player fails to high-five the monkeys, making them hang their heads in shame. High-fiving when the player is not supposed to causes the man's arm to shake during the zoomed out. The monkey face on the clock also makes a hurt expression.

Monkey Watch | Wait, What Time Is It? |

My parents bought me a monkey watch when I started high school. The monkeys are so cute that I forget about time and just stare at them. Kind of useless as a watch, isn't it? |
