Ranking every Rhythm Heaven minigame from WORST to BEST

Here is every Rhythm Heaven minigame and remix ranked from worst to best! I made this list probably a year ago or so, but I didn't knew what to do with it until a few days ago. That was when this video was made! Using clips for each game was a... decent idea? That way it can be understanded by everyone, it took a very few effort to edit and it's way shorter and entertaining to watch than a commentary video (at least imo). But even if I wanted to make a commentary video... It would've been impossible. Those take A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT, plus not having english as your native language makes it even harder. It's just a very "big no" in my case, although I would've kinda preffered it over this (not saying that the final result is garbage, I just like the other idea more).
Here are 3 things that I forgot to say in the beggining of the video:
1. Even though I make Custom Remixes, the scores have NOTHING to do with that: I ranked the games and remixes normally without thinking about CR at all. Ranking a game thinking about them would've been unfair in my opinion.
2. If two or more games got the same score, I just ordered them the way I thought was better. I mean, even though they have the same score I would still prefer one over the other, don't you think?
3. Most games got remade in Megamix. So which game versions I ranked, the originals or the remakes? Well... Both of them. I just ranked my favorite version of the 2. For example I ranked the Megamix version of Fan Club 2 because I think it's better than the DS version, but I ranked the original version of Rhythm Rally because I think it's better than the newest one.
Maybe in the future I'll make posts saying why I love/hate X game or remix, who knows.
Mini spoiler ahead about a minor mistake:
Tongue Lashing's score is 31, I forgot to include it. That's it.
Every footage used in this video was from the Rhythm Heaven clip packs.
Rhythm Heaven belongs to Tsunku and Nintendo.

The numbers can be hard to remember which is which but I found it really interesting and warm about how divided they are. Cases like the song are bangers but the gameplay is standard, so when seeing some in low numbers there's still aspects with decent score, it's just nice. Also yea the video crops are very nice (I really loved the AAAAH from Flockstep to Samurai Slice 😭) as expected from Rhythm Heaven person (???) Overall the video feels like a journey to watch I like it!

[@anomaliecosmos]

You clarified in a reply to another comment that memorability means specifically to you, so don't take this as a criticism per se - but from a wider perspective i would easily give Ringside a 10 or even an honorary 11 because of how many people who don't know RH have seen memes or parodies of it/were drawn in to the series by one of them. Not my favorite or the best, but objectively one for the history books.

[@realpersonishere]

Interesting opinions. Weird how more obscure games beat fan favorites like Space Dance but it’s still nice to hear what someone else has to say.

[@pantommy]

Giving a 5 for memorability to Space Dance I feel is not right. It's a fan favorite, after all. Plus it's more "varied" and makes better use of its controls than other games like it. I would've given at least a 6-7 for memorability and variety.

[@0nath650]

@@pantommy I mean... For me it's not that memorable, but I understand why people love it, it's just not fot me. The variety or originality could be higher if ir wasn't for a thing that I think it's unfair. I feel that you need to memorize the entire game to perfect it because the cues happen really fast and you need to use 3 different buttons, something that doesn't particularly help. If you're used to playing it then it's fine, but playing it for the first time gets you really lost. It uses all of its cues correctly, but I find it a bit unfair and it could've been a bit more well designed, at least in my opinion.
