Rhythm Heaven Megamix Release Date: Uncovering Hidden Secrets

The latest installment in the Rhythm Heaven series, Megamix, has finally been released to the masses, but fans may be wondering what secrets lie hidden beneath its catchy tunes and addictive gameplay. In this article, we'll delve into some of the interesting facts and unused content that made it into the game's spritesheet.

One fascinating discovery is the presence of unused sprites for Glee Club, including a chorus kid crouching down and up, gazing up, and even clippers and cones that went unused. These sprites were also present in the spritesheet for Rhythm Tengoku, specifically in the Remix 8 section, but were ultimately scrapped.

Another intriguing find is the inclusion of unused signs intended to block players' views of vegetable hair in Rhythm Tweezers. Additionally, there's a sprite for a hand holding a 'Don't peek' sign, which is only visible by hacking into the game.

The game also features an unused animation of Karate Man Kicks!'s cellanim file with Joe's classic crouching animation from the DS version. Unfortunately, this animation was replaced with his new one in Megamix, making it a relic of the past.

Furthermore, every Karate Man minigame contains unused kick crouching startup pieces for Karate Joe that were previously used in Rhythm Heaven but not in Megamix. These sprites are also present in Karateka's files in Rhythm Tengoku and Karate Man 2's files in Rhythm Heaven Fever.

It appears that the developers of Megamix had initially planned to include more cues, such as a 'Hit 2' cue in Karateka and a 'Hit 4' cue in Karate Man 2, but these were ultimately scrapped. Only the exclamation mark and number 3 are used in the final game.

In addition to these findings, every Karate Man minigame's files contain numbers from 1 to 4, as well as an unused blue little alien from Spaceball that was intended to be a flying object.

Lastly, one frame of animation cycles through all parts of the background, and another includes the fully assembled background. These animations may have been intended for use in the game but were ultimately cut.

In conclusion, Megamix is not only a fun and engaging game but also a treasure trove of hidden secrets and unused content that will delight fans of the Rhythm Heaven series.
