Slice ’n’ Dice Kitchen

Slice N Dice Kitchen is a brand-new minigame for Rhythm Heaven Groove and the very first one Nintendo revealed (April 9, 2026, via the Nintendo Today! app). It's a rhythm game about chopping vegetables — Game Informer describes "a woman chopping veggies in her kitchen."

How it works

You chop vegetables to the beat in a kitchen setting. As a new Groove game, the full input scheme and pattern variety haven't been detailed in hands-on coverage yet — what's confirmed is the chopping-to-the-rhythm premise that Nintendo showcased at reveal.

Controls, timing and cues

Slice N Dice Kitchen is an unreleased, newly revealed Groove minigame, so there's no established Perfect-run strategy and we won't invent one. The general series approach will apply at launch — listen to the music, learn the chopping pattern, and aim for a clean no-miss run — and the Perfect Campaign system is expected to return in Groove (though not yet confirmed by name in a Groove source). Check back after the July 2, 2026 release for verified tips.
