The Goat (ヤギ?, Yagi) is a character found at the Stable in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.

Story[]

At some point in the story, the Barista at the Café buys a goat, hoping to be able to provide fresh milk for the coffee. She has not produced any milk however, despite eating constantly. After the player and Tibby clear The Second Gate, the Barista asks them to help raise the goat, although he is not confident it would lead to her producing milk. She stays at the Stable and can be fed with turnips[1]. After the player and Tibby clear Lush Tower, the Barista informs them of his accidental discovery that the goat can be fed with Coins as well[2]. The more the player feeds the goat, the more she levels up. At certain levels, she lays a golden egg, containing a Mascot inside[3]. When Eglantine visits the Café, she may compliment the player for raising the goat, as she believes it to be a difficult task[4].

The Goat appears in Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic, first in 10ヤギとマスター (The Goat and Barista), which begins with Saffron selling The Goat to the Barista, saying her milk is delicious, and he'll sell her for real cheap. The goat begins to chow down on turnips, causing the Barista to worry, as she hasn't produced milk, and is only eating every day. He worries that the goat is only getting bigger, and might not fit in the Café soon. He thinks about changing the way he raises the goat as a customer comes in. In 22ヤギとイエモン (Goat and Saffron), Saffron is struggling to take The Goat on a walk, as the Barista is too small. As he's struggling, the goat ends up running away.

Trivia[]

  • The goat sometimes reacts to missed turnips; for example, she may open her mouth desparately and cry, scratch herself, or she may huff. She may fall asleep if left alone for too long.
  • The goat shakes her head disaprovingly if the player tries to throw turnips when they don't have any.
  • When viewing the Stable at the Café, the goat can be seen either idling, sleeping, eating, walking on a treadmill, or dancing to music.
  • The goat's artwork and Mascot depict her in her temporary golden form, which she has a chance to transform into if she is fed a golden turnip, rather than her normal, white furred appearance.
  • In supplementary material such as Play Nintendo, the goat is incorrectly indentified as a male[5]. She is referred to as female in the game itself[1] and in the manual[6].
  • Both the manual and unused assets suggest that the goat would at times go out for a walk, and as such the Stable minigame would be unavailable, requiring the player to play more Rhythm Games while waiting for her to come back[6][7]. This never occurs in the game, and the Stable is always available after being unlocked.
    • This unused event is referenced in her Mascot profile, which states that she dislikes taking walks.
    • Other unused text in Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+ suggests the player would've been able to buy multiple kinds of goat at the Shop[8], namely a Normal Goat (ふつうのヤギ?, Futsū no Yagi)[9], a Fat Goat (デブなヤギ?, Debuna Yagi)[10], a Child Goat (子ヤギ?, Ko Yagi)[11], a Golden Goat (ゴールデンヤギ?, Gōruden Yagi)[12], and a Goat Girl (ヤギガール?, Yagi Gāru)[13]. In the final game, there is only one goat who is unlocked through regular progression, and she can transform into a golden form for a brief period after eating a golden turnip.

  1. 1.0 1.1 "Hello there! Sorry, but I have a small favor to ask. Where to start...? So I was thinking that it'd be nice to have fresh milk for the coffee here, right? ...And, long story short, there's a goat living here now. Yes. A goat. So far, though, she hasn't produced any milk, even though she's always eating. Right. The favor I was going to ask: Will you help me raise my goat? I don't know if she'll ever actually produce milk, but... I feel like feeding her can only lead to good things. So, what do you think? It won't take much of your time. And it's fun to feed her. You can feed her the turnips from the garden next to the stable. Feel free to pick 'em all. They grow back real quick. Please...please take good care of my baby!" ~ Barista, Rhythm Heaven Megamix
  2. "Hello there! Oh, I remember what I was going to tell you! It's about our goat. Besides the turnips she's always eaten... it turns out she'll also eat coins. Don't ask how I found this out. I mention this because I know you've gotten a few coins from the games. Don't spend them all in one goat!" ~ Barista, Rhythm Heaven Megamix

  4. "Are you the one who's been raising that goat over there? That's nice of you. Raising goats isn't easy. Raising my sweet little birdies is MUCH easier. If they misbehave, I just quietly stare at them. They just stop and cower where they are! I think it's my eyes..." ~ Eglantine, Rhythm Heaven Megamix
