History YMMV / RhythmHeaven

** The Perfect system. You only get chances to earn a Perfect rating when a minigame is called up randomly. It's not like that makes completing a minigame perfectly any harder, it just makes it annoyingly and needlessly more difficult to actually get the rewards for it. It's like saying, "Oh, you did a PacifistRun of ''MetalGearSolid''? Well it doesn't count because you didn't do it on a Wednesday."

* SerialNumbersFiledOff: In-universe example: Screwbot Factory in ''Fever'' is practically the ''exact same game'' as Fillbots in ''Gold''. The only differences between Fillbots and Screwbots Factory are the way the robots look, what you're actually doing, and the fact that you're holding buttons instead of holding down the stylus on the touch screen. Even the name doesn't do much to differentiate Screwbot Factory from its handheld counterpart.

* ViewerGenderConfusion: So, is the second rocker a girl or a guy?

* {{Woolseyism}}: The dub of ''Fever'' has been fairly well-recieved, especially in comparison to the DS version.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: While a great deal of fans hated most of the English dubs of the Japanese songs from the DS game, the English songs in ''Fever'' have generally been well-received even by fans of the Japanese version.

** Then English fans got to rejoice when, unlike the DS game, the English dubs of ''Fever'''s songs [[SurprisinglyImprovedSequel didn't suck]].

* SuperlativeDubbing: Despite all the criticism the English dub gets, Frog Hop is one of the few mini-games where English fans might find the voicework better in the dub than the original Japanese.
** People in general find the English dub of Fever as good, if not better, than the original Japanese dub.

* Possible FridgeBrilliance: One of the reasons Donk Donk may be so odd compared to the other games is its rhythm--electrodes and octopi may not be inherently weirder than, say, Working Dough, but Donk Donk's rhythms are in triple time (DONK-DONK-wait DONK-DONK-wait), while almost every other game has double time rhythms (WUB-a-wub-a-WUB-a-is-that-TRUE? YES).

HellIsThatNoise: Screwing up while going for a Perfect. Not only because it means that you've burned one of your three chances for a Perfect, but also because it's ''loud''. Thankfully, it's quieter in the Wii version.

** For example, in Rhythm Heaven Fever, you have Monkey Watch. Monkey Watch is the first minigame that requires the player to have a consistent rhythm throughout. Said rhythm is constantly interrupted by syncopated beats in the form of the pink monkeys. Love for this minigame seems to be split down the line between people who have a developed sense of rhythm and those or are looking to improve it. For those who have mastered the game, it is one of the first truly-involving minigames Rhythm Heaven Fever has to offer. To everybody else, it can be a complete nightmare.
