"Now some of the hairs are curling! Are your tweezers deft enough for this challenge?"
— Rhythm Tweezers 2 Description (Rhythm Heaven Megamix)
Template:Game-NavTemplate:Game-NavTemplate:Minigame infoboxRhythm Tweezers 2 (かえってきた リズム脱毛?, Kaettekita Rizumu Datsumo), known in Rhythm Tengoku as Rhythm Tweezers (リズム脱毛?, Rizumu Datsumo), not to be confused with the sequel in Rhythm Tengoku, is the 2nd minigame in Rhythm Tengoku and the 38th minigame in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. In this game, the player is plucking hairs off of onions and potatoes, as well as dealing with curly ones. In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, the background is now purple and it acts as a sequel to Rhythm Tweezers.
As the image scrolls to a vegetable, several hairs, both straight and curly, appear in a rhythmic pattern. To pluck the curly hairs, press and hold A button until it's plucked. You can use D-Pad to do so, too. After the pattern ends, a pair of hair clippers will start to scroll around the vegetable. The player must repeat the rhythm they were given to pluck the hairs. Curly hairs sometimes also appear, which require the player to hold down the button.
Button Mode
A or D-Pad: Pluck hairs
Hold A or D-Pad: Pull curly hairs
Simple Tap Mode
Tap: Pluck hairs
Hold Stylus: Pull curly hairs
Timing Notes
Hit: The hair strand gets fully plucked out. If all of the hairs are plucked, The vegetable will smile at the end of the circle.
Barely: Part of the hair gets plucked out, but some is left. A laughing sound can be heard. The vegetable won't smile at the end of the circle either. A barely counts as a miss.
When you are at the potato with one hair at the beginning and end with a bunch in the middle pluck the last one at the right moment to collect the star.

Rhythm Tweezers also appears in the 2P mode of Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade) where it is referred to as Rhythm Tweezers 2P (リズム脱毛 2P?, Rhythm Epilation 2P). Each vegetable is done in turns, first by P1 and then by P2. As a result, the game is twice as long as the 1P version.
Trivia
The game was originally going to use a realistic photo of a human's face, but was replaced because the developers found it too creepy.[1]
The same looking vegetables are used in Crop Stomp.
In the endless game Wake-Up Caller, when a flower grows, on rare occasions it has a Harry Onion, a beet or a green onion with flowers on it's top for a flower head.
This game's music plays in the Hi-Hat Rhythm Toy, named "Hi-Hat (Arabic Theme)".
The second type of vegetable changed the most throughout each version.
Along with the rest of Stage 1, this game has a counterpart in the arcade version at 150% speed, with a more vibrant synth for orchestration and different graphics.
