Rhythm Heaven Megamix |
Munchy Monk (しゅぎょう?, Shugyō) is the 1st Rhythm Game in the fourth stage (16th overall) in Rhythm Heaven and the 2nd of Comet Land (68th overall) in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
The arrange version, Munchy Monk 2, appears in the tenth stage of Rhythm Heaven.
Gameplay[]
The Munchy Monk raises out his hand as off-screen people continuously give him dumplings to eat. He eats them by slapping his wrist precisely as the off-screen character says "Go!" to fling the dumplings in his mouth. There are three cues to follow:
- Training 1 [Eat one]: The monk receives a single white dumpling with a voice saying "One! Go!" ("ハイ、ゴー!", Hai, gō!) to indicate the timing.
- Training 2 [Eat three]: The monk receives three green dumplings in a row with a voice saying "Three! Go! Go! Go!" ("一、二、三、四!", Yī, er, sān, sì!) to indicate the timing.
- Training 3 [Eat two]: The monk receives two pink dumplings and must slap his wrist twice quickly to eat them. The voice says "Two-two! Go! Go!" ("ゴー・ゴー・ゴー!ゴー・ゴー!", Gō gō gō! Gō gō!) to indicate the timing.
In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, the monk is redesigned, looking closer to his design in Munchy Monk in Rhythm Heaven Fever, as well as carrying a baby on his back during the real game. The background is more detailed and animated.
Controls[]
- Ⓐ/Tap: Slap wrist
Timing Display[]
- Perfect!/Ace!: The dumpling flies into the monk's mouth and he successfully swallows it. If not interrupted, he blushes and smiles afterward while his moustache starts growing up.
- Early!/Late!: The dumpling flies and hits the monk in the face. If early, it hits his nose, making it turn red, as the monk frowns. If late, it hits him square in the face, with the monk looking confused.
- Miss...: The dumpling falls out of the Monk's hand.

The basics still elude you. Your "two-twos" were doubly disappointing. Your triple bites were a trial. | |
Eh. Passable. | |
You have mastered the basics. Your double bites were transcendent. Your triple bites were as lightning! |

There was a time I thought that, but this one is perfect for today's modern monk on the go. It's adjustable, easy to put on, and doesn't put pressure on my belly. |

Trivia[]
- This game is a parody on real ancient monks, who (depending on the religion) starve themselves as part of their training, while here it's the opposite.
- {{{1}}}
- In Rhythm Tengoku Gold, the dumplings are instead referred to as Manjū (まんじゅう?, Manjū), a traditional Japanese confection.
- Since its inception, Munchy Monk has enjoyed perfect attendance in the series, re-appearing in both Rhythm Heaven Fever (as an Endless Game) and Rhythm Heaven Megamix. It shares a similar status as the likes of Karate Man, Samurai Slice, and Built to Scale.
- The game has the same rhythm as Rhythm Heaven Fever's Micro-Row 2.
- Employee 333-4-591032 in Packing Pests bears a striking resemblance to the Munchy Monk. Notably, both games involve characters using their hands, and both involve food in some way.
- This is one of a few games to keep the same controls for tapping from Rhythm Heaven to Rhythm Heaven Megamix in Simple Tap Mode, the others being Fillbots, Shoot-'Em-Up, Freeze Frame and Lockstep.
- This game appears in the "Wario...Where?" Challenge Train course, where the Monk is replaced by Master Mantis. Young Cricket can be seen riding a cloud in the background, similar to the Monkey in Final Remix.
