Overview

Rhythm Tweezers is a classic Rhythm Heaven minigame from the original Rhythm Tengoku, where you pluck hairs from an onion in time with the music. It appears as a multiplayer game in Groove's Starter Demo, but note: a returning role in the full Groove lineup beyond the demo is not yet confirmed by an independent source.

How It Works

In the classic version you use precise, on-beat inputs to pluck stray hairs off a vegetable, building to a satisfying final reveal. The Groove Starter Demo features Rhythm Tweezers as a multiplayer rhythm game — Nintendo's demo notes describe trying out "the multiplayer Rhythm Tweezers" — so its co-op/competitive form is confirmed for the demo.

How to get a Perfect in Rhythm Tweezers

For the classic single-player versions, the approach is the standard series formula: learn the song, earn Superb, then clear with zero misses during the Perfect Campaign. For the Groove multiplayer version, dedicated Perfect-run strategy isn't established yet, so we won't fabricate it — what's confirmed is that it's a multiplayer game in the Starter Demo. Treat any full-Groove single-player return as unconfirmed for now.

See the Ranks & Perfects guide for the full Perfect Campaign rules.
