Edega

Doctor '''Gabriel Edega''' is a character that appears in Rhythm Doctor. He is the head doctor at Middlesea Hospital, and tends to have a cold demeanor when it comes to patient care.

== Appearance ==
Doctor Edega has auburn hair and light skin. He carries around a dark blue clipboard that is obscuring his face at all times. He wears a set of hospital scrubs that are a greenish hue along with a pair of black shoes.

== Personality ==
Doctor Edega appears to have a rather cutthroat approach to managing Middlesea Hospital, as he is quick to insult doctors and nurses that have quit their jobs, even going as far to accuse them of "leaving us to do all the work". He does not seem to mesh very well with the patients, let alone his subordinates Paige and Ian, who all seem to be intimidated or afraid of him. He has a tendency to make pointed comments at the performance of his subordinates, the Intern included. Edega can be spotted silently watching patients from afar, such as in [[The 90's Decision]] and [[Dreams Don't Stop]].

== Relationships ==
* Edega is '''[[Paige]]''''s boss, and treats her with a rather cold nature. He regularly makes comments on how she is performing, and expresses that she isn't doing enough. He has taken special note of how Paige is still struggling with swing-beats in [[Dreams Don't Stop]], and that she constantly is distracted by other patients.
* Edega is '''[[Ian]]''''s boss, and so has a tendency to push responsibilities on him regularly. He has tasked Ian with managing the ''Rhythm Doctor'' program, often pushing for him to take on even more for his workload as seen in [[Act 5]].
* Edega is '''The [[Intern]]''''s boss, and treats them with an air of indifference with the occasional note on their competency. He comments that the Intern is rather nosy for eavesdropping on [[Unsustainable Inconsolable]]'s pre-tutorial conversation. If the Intern completes 5-X's tutorial with little to no mistakes, Edega praises them for their accuracy and tells them that he'll be watching their performance.
* Edega does not appear to be thought of fondly by '''Middlesea Hospital's patients''', as [[Nicole]] comments that he "just scares me". [[Lucky]] initially went along with Edega's proposed plans, but had a turnaround at the end of Act 5 that appeared to have disappointed Edega. Ian even notes that Lucky was the most Edega has ever spoken to a patient, reinforcing that he does not directly deal with the patients himself.

* [[Welcome Back]]
* [[Boss Fight]]
* [[Blurred]]
* [[Miracle Defibrillator]]
* [[Miracle Defibrillator (Cole's Song)]]
* [[The 90's Decision]]

== History ==
* Edega used to make an appearance after completing the Preorder demo version of Rhythm Doctor. His dialogue (which is now considered non-canon) went as follows:

{|
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Ah, so the program worked then.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Who would have thought?
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|This preposterous program to recruit rhythmically talented volunteers remotely to defibrillate our patients. Hah!
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|My name is Dr Edega. I've been watching you.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|You defeated the connectifia abortus infections, saved our own Dr Paige from a breakdown..
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|.. and administered perfect defibrillations to a troupe of classical music loving samurai.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|They were quite pleased with how you could keep up.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|At this rate, ohohoho... you might even put our own doctors out of their jobs.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|We wouldn't want that, would we.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|.. (author.name)?
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Well, we're starting the full Rhythm Doctor program later this year.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|We shall be expecting you again. Goodbye, (author.name).
|-
|}

== Trivia ==
* Edega is one of the few characters in ''Rhythm Doctor'' that the player does not operate on directly. The other characters that share this trait as of the Act 5 Update are [[Janitor]] and his coworker, the [[Nurse]], and Doctor Spider.
** The only time he ever has an ECG is in [[Blurred]], but even then, it's automatic.
* Edega is also the only character to not show their face.
** There are brief moments in [[Welcome Back]] where Edega's eyes are depicted, either as scribbled circles or glowing red, but these are likely both stylistic choices to fit with the level's horror aesthetic.
* Before Edega's full name was revealed in [[Unsustainable Inconsolable]], his first name was found out through musical notation that spelled G-A-B-E E-D-E-G-A.
* Edega made an appearance in the Preorder demo version of ''Rhythm Doctor'', though it has been noted by developers that this appearance is non-canon in regards to his character.
* Edega uses the normal difficulty button.

'''The 90's Decision''' (MD-3) is a level in Rhythm Doctor. It is part of the Muse Dash X Rhythm Doctor crossover event with PeroPero Games.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNeatjG_nUw The track] was created by MYUKKE, for ''Muse Dash''.

== Synopsis ==
Marija, Buro, and Rin are skating at the Roller Disco, as Buro nervously attempts to practice skating, serving as a tutorial for her new swung heartbeat. Rin asks if they can stop to get some food, before Marija answers that the snack bar is closed. Buro then reveals that she stole the donut that Richard Hugh was carrying, to Marija's surprise. The two of them ask Buro if she can share the donut, to which Buro obliges, before abruptly skating away and telling them to chase her if they want to have a piece of the donut to eat. The two then chase after Buro, with the Cockatiel, Owl, and Samurai appearing, also participating in the chase for the donut. The player treats all six of them as they skate through the Roller Disco, with Buro teasing her two friends in the middle of the level, before being surprised by the Samurai's appearance, being carried by a bird above her. The level continues on, with a brief cutaway to Edega watching the six of them from a monitor. As the level ends, the outcome of the chase is dependent on the player's letter rank. Given that the player cannot progress the story without achieving a B-rank or higher, it can be assumed that only the B-rank, A-rank, and S-rank outcomes actually take place.

The B-rank outcome involves Buro refusing to share the donut between her two friends, before promptly letting the Samurai eat the rest of it.

The A-rank outcome involves Buro stating that the donut is "great" and hesitating before finally sharing the donut with Marija and Rin.

Finally, the S-rank outcome involves Buro stating the donut is delicious, once again hesitating before finally deciding to share the donut between her two friends; however, a bird swoops in and steals the donut at the last minute, leaving Buro as the only person who got to taste it.

After the level, the three girls speak to Ian and Paige for the final time, as he urges them to take better care of their health and getting sleep. Rin initially refuses, before Marija insists on listening to Ian, causing Rin to reconsider. Marija then compliments Ian and Paige, stating that they are "Middlesea's greatest attraction," before Buro and Rin interrupt to state that they think otherwise. Rin then declares that the three of them will "stay up all night" at the hospital. Ian tries to insist that they get some sleep, to no avail, as the collab story ends.

== History ==
*All ''Muse Dash'' collab levels have the unique property of playing a voice clip from said game, which says "Full combo!" if the player achieves an S-rank. However, at launch, this level in particular lacked that unique feature.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AveCf4JxXRo</ref>

== Trivia ==
*This is the first and only level thus far where the player's letter rank affects the outcome of the level, each letter rank having its own set of dialogue attached to it.
*A voice clip from ''Muse Dash'' can be heard, saying "Full combo!" during the rank screen if the player achieved an S-rank on the level. This applies to all ''Muse Dash'' collab levels.

Holds

2026-06-18T10:34:48Z

NovaeSys: +Kingdom of Balloons

== Description ==
Holds (also ''Hold notes'' or ''Held notes'') are a gimmick in Rhythm Doctor. Instead of just one pulse, there is now a hold with a set duration on every beat, followed by a hit with the same length on the 7th beat. Every individual beat has its own hold and release cue, which can also overlap between beats. Usually, holds are combined with [[Row Xs]] in a <code>-x-x-x</code> or <code>-xx-xx</code> pattern.

Should any other beat line up with the hold period, up to and including the release period, the other beats will be automatically caught.

[[Swing (Gimmick)|Swing]] can be applied to hold notes, making the hold length inconsistent across the ECG, as seen in [[Corazones Viejos]].

*[[Miracle Defibrillator (Cole's Song)]]
*[[Helping Hands]]
*[[Worn Out Tapes]]
*[[Kingdom of Balloons]]
*[[Fixations Toward the Stars]] (Beat catching property tutorialized)

== Cueing ==
Holds are solely indicated by their default shaker sound effect. Holds with different X patterns or on different rows may be distinguished using different pitches, counting sounds, etc.

If Swing is applied to holds, the hold length will oscillate as the pulse travels through the ECG, requiring an additional degree of observation to determine the hit length. In the case of [[Corazones Viejos]], for example, only the second pulse determines the hold length.

Skipshots

NovaeSys: +público cautivo

==Description==
'''Skipshots''' are a mechanic for oneshots first introduced in 2-1N. On the hit of a oneshot, a rattle will play and an x will appear on the oneshot row; the next hit will be skipped, though the oneshot will continue afterwards.

*[[Unsustainable Inconsolable]] (2P Mode only)
*[[Dreams Don't Stop]]
*[[Boss Fight]]
*[[Bitter Times]]
*[[Miracle Defibrillator (Cole's Song)]]
*[[público cautivo]]

== Cueing==
To cue a skipshot, select a particular oneshot pulse and select the "x" modifier. Note that if the pulse consists of multiple loops, only the final hit will be affected.
==== Tips ====
If you're planning to re-cue a oneshot row, in situations where an "and stop" might not be viable, skipping the last hit can be very helpful to give the player time to react to the upcoming cue.
Note that skipshots at high speeds aren't recommended, as they can be hard to react to.

Squareshots

2026-06-18T10:08:05Z

NovaeSys: remove some because they are actually triangleshots

== Description ==
Squareshots are a special type of oneshot which doesn't loop. They can occur at any time, and override any existing oneshots that were cued with the same voice. After being cued, squareshots of the same length as this one may occur at any time uncued, unless a different oneshot was cued after the squareshot cue with the same voice.

* 6-X [[Boss Fight]]
* X-1 [[Art Exercise]]
* MD-1 [[Blackest Luxury Car]] (Use and Irregular Rhythm Tutorialized)
* MD-3 [[The 90's Decision]]

== Cueing ==
Squareshots are cued similarly to regular oneshots, except with the "go" cue replaced with a "one". Although cueing future squareshots of the same length are unnecessary (as long as no other oneshots are cued with the same voice), it's generally recommended to do so to avoid catching the player off guard. One way to ease into uncued squareshots is to slowly remove parts of the squareshot cue with each successive squareshot: for example, starting with "get set one", then "set one" a few times, then just the "one" before finally removing the cue altogether.

==History==
* The iconic "Tonk" sound associated with Squareshots was first seen in RDSRT2.

== Trivia ==
* Squareshots were originally conceived as a method of bringing back the old way of cueing oneshots, where oneshots of the same length could occur at any time (as long as the first one was cued).

Syncopation

2026-06-18T10:00:30Z

NovaeSys: +add (Tutorialized) to meet and tweet

==Description==
Syncopation is a gimmick stemming from [[Classic Beats|Classic beats]]. Syncopation typically involves the player hitting on the 6.5th beat, with a 7 pulse beat being offset by half the beat's Tick on one pulse (1-2-3-4-5-67). Like Classic beats, Syncopation can be affected by [[Swing (Gimmick)|Swing]], [[Insomniac Beats]], [[Free Time Beats|Free Times]], and [[Row Xs|Row Xs]] (check cueing section for restrictions).
==Levels==
* [[Something to Tell You]] (Tutorialized)
* [[Miracle Defibrillator (Cole's Song)]]
* [[Meet and Tweet]] (Tutorialized)
* [[público cautivo]]

==Cueing==
[[File:Syncopation Row.png|thumb|alt=A classic row with yellow glow and syncopation arrows on the 6th beat.|Classic row with syncopation on the 6th beat.]]
[[File:Invalid Synco Row.png|thumb|alt=An invalid syncopated row, due to muting the 3rd beat, which should have a "Beep" cue sound.|Invalid syncopated row, due to muting the 3rd beat, which should have a "Beep" cue sound.]]
Syncopation is most commonly cued with distinct beat sounds to audibly indicate where the Syncopation is. Additionally, Xs can be put onto the row, however, they cannot mute any beat in which these sounds should be played (e.g. beats 1, 3, 5 for "Beep" sounds). "Chirp" is less restrictive than "Beep" in this sense as it only has sounds on the syncopation, rather than on every two beats up until the syncopation. However, "Beep" is recommended as it's more standard in custom levels. With "Chirp", "Cue modifier changes" is required when the Syncopation is added or removed to a row, i.e. it is not required if the Syncopation is moved to a different beat (e.g. switching from 1-2-3-4-5-67 to 1-2-3-4-56-7).

Syncopation has two different visual cues: a green arrow on the row on the beat that is syncopated, and a yellow glow on the row. At least one of these visuals cues must be used, and both can be used at the same time for additional clarification. Using a green arrow is a built-in mechanic in the Set Row Xs event, therefore normal classic beats can be used and the syncopation and its sounds will be done automatically. If not, then [[Free Time Beats|freetimes]] must be used to execute the behaviour.

==History==
* Syncopation arrows were introduced alongside [[Meet and Tweet|X-MAT]].

==Trivia==
* Syncopation had long existed as a semi-official mechanic before the introduction of syncopation arrows, having special cue sounds included in the [[Level Editor]] despite not appearing in any official levels.

Oneshot Beats

2026-06-18T09:59:52Z

NovaeSys: +add more levels to levels section

== Description ==
Oneshot beats (also ''SVT Beats'') are the secondary gameplay style in Rhythm Doctor and consist of one or multiple pulses, and one hit. The rhythm of the hits is determined by a "[[Say Ready, Get, Set, Go!|Ready, Get, Set, Go!]]" cue, however the pulses can change at any time. A oneshot pattern goes on until it is stopped with a "Stop" cue (though not always required), or changed to another pattern.

== Cueing ==
[[File:Oneshot_Cues_1.png|thumb|Oneshot cues for a simple pattern]]
[[File:Oneshot_Cues_2.png|thumb|Oneshot cues for a different pattern]]
A oneshot pattern is always preceded by either the nurse or Ian saying "(Rea - Dy -) Get - Set - Go", and it continues until an "(And -) Stop" cue from the same voice as the cue-in, a different oneshot or [[Squareshots|squareshot]] cue-in from the same voice as the cue-in, or the final input of the level.

[[File:Oneshot_Cues_3.png|thumb|Oneshot cues for a complex pattern]]
The pattern of the cues shadows the pattern of the oneshots to follow. "Rea" and "Get" nominally line up with a oneshot pulse (green marker in the [[Level Editor|editor]]), and "Dy" and "Set" line up with a hit (yellow marker). After a "Go" cue, the pattern starting from the first "Rea" or "Get" cue of a pattern until the "Go" cue is looped continuously as oneshot pulses and hits, and the player must input accordingly. Since only the positions of the "Dy" and "Set" cues along with the interval of the pattern ultimately determine the hit timing, the pattern of the pulses does not necessarily need to follow the "Rea" and "Get"s exactly.

Starting from the end of a cue-in pattern, all intended hits must be "Set"s until a pulse is encountered, which must be a "Get". From there, all preceding pulses must be "Gets" until the preceding hit, which must be a "Dy". Then from there, all pulses must be "Rea"s, and all hits must be "Dy"s. A pattern must not end in "Rea" or "Get", nor start with "Go".

Remember: "Rea" = '''Pulse''', "Dy" = '''Hit''', "Get" = '''Pulse''', "Set" = '''Hit''', "Go" = '''Pulse'''.

"Rea - Dy" is generally included in faster patterns to provide more reaction time, or in complex patterns that cannot be cued-in using "Get - Set - Go" alone. The two different cue-in voices allow for two simultaneous oneshot or squareshot patterns, typically on different rows.

A "Set - Go" cue-in can be used to reinitiate the previous oneshot pattern.

The combined "And Stop" event is not recommended because it doesn't sync to the bpm. Instead use the "And" & "Stop" events seperately.

== History ==
*

== Trivia ==
* Oneshots are inspired by, and very similar to the classic percussion pattern of a kick drum on beats 1 and 3, as well as a snare or clap on beats 2 and 4. ("Boom Tschak")

Row Length

2026-06-18T09:55:43Z

NovaeSys: +extra bit to x-wot

== Description ==
[[File:Varyingrowlengths.png|thumb|Rows with various lengths. From top to bottom: <ul><li>7-beat: ''Samurai''</li><li>6-beat: ''Edega''</li><li>5-beat: ''Mark''</li><li>4-beat: ''Cockatiel''</li><li>3-beat: ''Owl''</li></ul>]]
'''Row Length''' is a modification to [[Classic Beats]]. It changes how many beats a classic row has. While the core mechanic of '''Rhythm Doctor''' is hitting on the 7th beat, different row lengths require hitting on a different beat instead. 7 beats are the maximum, so different lengths are always ''shorter''.

A non-7-beat row is first introduced in [[Welcome Back]], with [[Mark]] having '''5 beats''' instead. He is also the only patient to have a row whose length is not 7. In [[Blurred]], there is a brief instance of Mark (and [[Edega]]) having a '''6-beat row'''.

'''Row Length''' is primarily defined by the row's ''length'' property, and its classic beats' ''length'' property. While patients like [[Cockatiel]] feature a row that ''sounds'' like 4 beats, it is still a 7-beat row due to being 7 beats long.

== Levels ==

* [[Welcome Back]] (Tutorialized)
* [[Boss Fight]]
* [[Blurred]]
* [[Miracle Defibrillator]]
* [[Miracle Defibrillator (Cole's Song)]]

== Cueing ==

Before 1.0, all rows could only be 7 beats long. Creators could make shorter patterns by including [[Row Xs]] at the start of the row, such as to make the ''perceived'' first pulse a different pulse. For instance, a <code>xx----</code> pattern acts as a 5-beat pattern, because the amount of beats from the ''perceived'' first pulse and the hit is 5.

Before 1.0, patterns with an X on the first beat were considered illegal in custom levels under the assumption that all classic beats were 7 beats long. To use these patterns, it was required to use '''[[Set Counting Sound|Counting Sounds]]''' to specify the number of each pulse, so that the player could know where the ''perceived'' first pulse was actually located.

After 1.0, when variable row length was added, this method of cueing is still required in most cases, however it may be omitted if it's immediately clear what a row's length is before any gameplay.


== History ==

* Non 7-beat row visuals were added in 1.0
* Visual row lengthening/shortening was added in 1.0

== Trivia ==

* '''[[Know You]]''' includes a <code>xx----</code> pattern for [[Hailey]], which is taught in its tutorial. This is functionally the same as a 5-beat row.
** If the player has the '''Audible Skipped Beats''' accessibility option enabled, Hailey's pattern will play the first two beats audibly. However, for different length rows, this does not happen.
** Similarly, [[Cockatiel]] primarily features a <code>-x-x-x</code> pattern, which can be interpreted as 4-beat.
** Similarly, [[Owl]] primarily features a <code>-xx-xx</code> pattern, which can be interpreted as 3-beat.
** Similarly, [[Parrot]] uses a <code>-x-x-x</code> pattern in [[Corazones Viejos]] which can be interpreted as a [[Swing (Gimmick)|swung]] 4-beat row. 
** Similarly, [[Oriole]] uses a <code>-x-x-x</code> pattern in [[Corazones Viejos]] which can be interpreted as a [[Swing (Gimmick)|swung]] 4-beat row with [[Holds|holds]].
** Treble has a <code>xx----</code> pattern in [[Worn Out Tapes]], though it isn't tutorialized, instead using counting sounds as a cue.
** Lune has a similar <code>xx----</code> pattern in [[Kingdom of Balloons]], though it uses [[holds]] instead.
* Row length can be applied to [[Oneshot Beats|Oneshot rows]]. This has no effect on gameplay, but can be used as a visual effect.

Classic Beats

2026-05-22T12:33:58Z

NovaeSys: there's normal beats in boss fight too

== Description ==
Classic beats make up the majority of Rhythm Doctor's gameplay. They consist of 7 pulses, with the player being required to hit on the 7th one. These pulses are usually evenly spaced, unless [[Swing_(Gimmick)|Swing]], [[Insomniac Beats]], [[Free Time Beats]] or [[Syncopation]] are present. The speed of these pulses is determined by the beat's "Tick", a value which determines the interval between two pulses in beats. It can change from beat to beat without warning.

== Trivia ==
*Very early on, these beats were just colored boxes, however they would later become heartbeats on an ECG as they are now.

Connectifia Abortus

2026-04-02T21:16:28Z

NovaeSys: +Miracle Defibrillator

'''Connectifia Abortus''' is a "wifi-signal-jamming virus," as described by [[Ian]] in [[Battleworn Insomniac]], the level where it first appears. It is a recurring obstacle encountered by the player in various boss stages, associated with the disruption of the game's audio and visual elements.

==Appearance==

In Battleworn Insomniac, it appears as an initially mild audio and visual distortion, turning the cardiogram's beats increasingly unreliable as they glitch and stutter, sometimes beating out of order. This distortion causes the player to have to rely on their own internal rhythm and to keep track of the beat themselves. During the level's interlude, Ian attempts to give advice regarding "the most important thing" about handling the virus, only for his voice to be abruptly cut off by a mysterious voice in red text, with garbled characters and the word "DESTRUCT." The virus's distortions then increases in intensity, with a noticeable instance of distortion being that the audio cuts into white noise, with the visuals becoming heavily chopped and inverted in color. As the level ends, [[Paige]] inquires about the virus, confused, as Ian explains that it was disrupting the intern's signal and affecting the cardiogram as well. He states that it's "a small hiccup in the process" and that he'll look into it.

In [[All The Times]], the virus is once again present, as first indicated by its health bar appearing in the level. The game's window is forcibly minimized with its resolution set to 2x, as the game window begins moving around the screen erratically. The visual disruption intensifies as the level progresses, with the window regularly moving off-screen and the cardiogram repeatedly stuttering. Toward the end of the level, the visuals themselves start to distort, with a similar instance of color-inverted, chopped distortion being present, previously seen in 1-X. There is no explicit mention of the virus to the player until after the level is over; Ian explains to Paige and the intern that the virus had once again appeared, this time, in [[Cole]] and [[Nicole]]. This is the first time that the virus is described as being present in a patient themself, as opposed to simply distorting the wifi signal. This suggests that the virus is less traditional in nature compared to normal computer viruses, hinting that something deeper may be at play.

The virus is also present in [[Super Battleworn Insomniac]] (the Night Shift version of Battleworn Insomniac). Its strength is much greater this time, causing a blackout in nearly the entire hospital, with many of the hospital's electronics overheating. Ian states that the virus nearly severed the intern's connection to the hospital, and that his phone has also been affected by the virus. As the level starts, the virus distorts the audio and visuals to a more intense degree, once again causing the cardiogram's beats to become unreliable, emphasizing the need for the player to keep their own sense of internal rhythm throughout the level. Toward the start of the interlude, it is shown that the virus has seemingly gained the ability to display invasive notifications, able to flood the intern's screen entirely. As the first interlude begins, Ian questions how "a complete relapse" could have happened in the Insomniac. Shortly thereafter, in the second interlude, the virus rips off a chunk of his heart, changing its color into a dark shade of blue. This causes the Insomniac's beats to be in irregular 7/8th time, as the player has to keep track of this new rhythm for the rest of the level. The visuals then turn into a heavily distorted looping cycle of the player's screen. The audio itself remains intact and helps guide the player into the irregular time signature. After the third interlude, however, the audio becomes distorted, too, challenging the player in a final round as the visuals and audio see their distortions reach their most intense extent yet, becoming almost entirely unhelpful to the player. The distortions are at such an intensity that many players may have to close their eyes and rely solely on their internal rhythm. After the level ends, the virus's influence fades away entirely, as Ian remarks that he was unaware the virus could "infect the building itself." He questions the source of the virus, with Paige suggesting that he may be able to figure it out if they keep working. The Insomniac thanks the doctors shortly after, stating that he "feels like a weight has finally been lifted."

The virus makes its current final appearance in [[Dreams Don't Stop]], where Ian claims that it has returned despite his best efforts to keep it at bay. The virus distorts visual and audio cues once more, now stretching the window horizontally and vertically in an attempt to throw off the player's visual cues. The player can also hear their specific operating system error noises interrupting the beat of the song. The virus's distortions only last during Lucky's cloudy dream segment, seemingly ending once he wakes up with renewed courage to coach his team at the university game. After the level, Ian informs Paige that the rhythm defibrillator itself has been the cause of the virus. He then tells her that he'll be able to fix it, but he needs the intern and Paige to distract Edega to buy him some time to do so.

Though the source of the virus has been seemingly confirmed with the Act 5 update, it is unknown if anymore revelations will be made about the virus, due to the nature of the game being in Early Access.

* [[All The Times]]
* [[Super Battleworn Insomniac]]
* [[Dreams Don't Stop]]

==Trivia==
* In [[Dreams Don't Stop]] (the boss stage of Act 5) the VIRUS bar present in all other Connectifia Abortus stages may remain 'defeated' while the song goes on. This is likely an oversight (as if the virus is defeated then the song should stop 'glitching')

Insomniac Beats

2026-04-02T17:51:29Z

NovaeSys: +Miracle Defibrillator

==Description==

'''Insomniac Beats''' essentially work in the same way as a classic beat. The hit timing relative to the previous hits will stay the same, but the beats are able to pulse in any way. This gimmick is mostly used with additional visual distractions, and occassionally audible distractions.

==Levels==

*[[Battleworn Insomniac]]
*[[Super Battleworn Insomniac]]
*[[Miracle Defibrillator]]
*[[Miracle Defibrillator (Cole's Song)]]

==Cueing==

A regular [[Classic Beats|Classic Beat]] must be showed first to show the timing of the hit. Then, the row's effect is set to "Electric" using a [[Paint Rows]] event (this will also cause the audible cue). Afterwards, the pulses can be placed in any way using [[Free Time Beats]], as long as the hit timing remains the same as before the cue.

It can be thought of like a [[Oneshot Beats|Oneshot Beat]]: the first beat is on "Get," the hit is on "Set," and the next first beat is on "Go." So, any beats can be placed between the "Get" and "Set," like oneshots, as long as the hit stays the same.

The "Electric" effect has no audible cue when removed.

==History==

==Trivia==

Levels in story mode don't use the standard audible cue for this gimmick, despite it being forcibly played with the [[Paint Rows]] event.

'''Steinway''' (4-3) is a level in Rhythm Doctor. The Night Shift version is [[Steinway Reprise]].

It introduces the [[Parrot]], the [[Owl]], and the [[Oriole]] characters.

[https://soundcloud.com/fizzd/steinway The track] was created by fizzd.

== Synopsis ==

The player and [[Ian]] cooperate to treat Mrs. Stevenson and her four birds, the [[Cockatiel]], the [[Parrot]], the [[Owl]], and the [[Oriole]]. The player and Ian swap between the five patients repeatedly through the level. After the level, Ian thanks the player and claims that Mrs. Stevenson is "over-the-moon" thanks to them treating her birds. They are then able to resume our train operations as Hailey notices Cole on the train and inquires about his presence the train. He says that she snuck out in the same manner that she did, before Hailey corrects him and says that she got permission to travel. Cole then elaborates that his motivation has been coming back but that it is difficult to stay inspired in a hospital. Hailey then mentions how lucky she is to hang out with Logan in the hospital, which prompts Cole to inquire about who Logan is to Hailey, and she ends up confessing that Logan is someone she shares a mutual crush with, but that Logan is too shy to confess. Cole then suggests that Hailey drop down more obvious hints for Logan to take, before pulling out his laptop and showing Hailey a song he has been working on, to help her out with giving Logan a hint as to her romantic feelings.

|Hi! Do I...know you? Are you from Middlesea Hospital?
|-
|{{Sprite/Cole}}
|That's me.

|Snuck out.

|{{Sprite/Hailey}}
|I-I didn't sneak out! I got permission!
|-
|{{Sprite/Cole}}
|My motivation's been starting to come back, but I don't wanna wait for some boring twelve-step program.
|-
|{{Sprite/Cole}}
|So I figured...maybe sneaking out, getting a change of scenery, would help jolt my brain.
|-
|{{Sprite/Hailey}}
|That makes sense. Being all cooped up in the hospital probably isn't helpful for inspiration.
|-
|{{Sprite/Hailey}}
|It's pretty lonely in there. I'm lucky I get to hang with Logan.
|-
|{{Sprite/Cole}}
|Who's that?
|-
|{{Sprite/Hailey}}
|He's...well, um. He's just a guy. From my school.
|-
|{{Sprite/Cole}}
|I feel like there's more to the story than that.
|-
|{{Sprite/Cole}}
|We're out on a train in the middle of the desert. Spill the beans.
|-
|{{Sprite/Hailey}}
|O-okay, fine.
|-
|{{Sprite/Hailey}}
|We're friends, but...it's more than that. I think he has feelings for me.
|-
|{{Sprite/Hailey}}
|Y'know, like...a crush on me?
|-
|{{Sprite/Cole}}
|Now you're a happy couple. Dope.
|-
|{{Sprite/Hailey}}
|Well, that's the thing. He hasn't actually said it out loud yet. It's just obvious!
|-
|{{Sprite/Hailey}}
|I feel the same way, but...
|-
|{{Sprite/Hailey}}
|He's just so wishy-washy!
|-
|{{Sprite/Hailey}}
|He's always hiding what he's feeling, or thinking. He can't say it.
|-
|{{Sprite/Hailey}}
|We've spent a lot of time together, but...I just want to get to know him more.
|-
|{{Sprite/Hailey}}
|I don't mind waiting around, if he's shy, but...
|-
|{{Sprite/Cole}}
|If you want him to pick up on your feelings, you've gotta send him the vibes.

== History ==
*

== Trivia ==
*In-game, this level lists "Ian" as being the sole patient. This is untrue, as he is neither a treatable patient nor is he the only patient. This might be a limitation of having Ian's voice present for the level select menu. It may also be an oversight, or something done to withhold information from the player on purpose.

}}

'''Maximo "Lucky" Jonronero''' is a character that appears in Rhythm Doctor. He is a Baseball Player for the Middlesea Scales and later on the game becomes the Coach for the Middlesea hospital team. He makes his first appearance in [[Lucky Break]]. He mostly uses [[Oneshot Beats]] and most of their gimmicks ([[Subdivision Beats]], [[Freeze Beats]], [[Burn Beats]], [[Blast Beats]] and [[Skipshots]]). He's also seen using [[Classic Beats]] on [[One Slip Too Late]].

== Appearance ==
When on the field, he wears a white sport suit and red helmet. He's seen holding a baseball bat behind his head. He's also seen chewing gum, blowing it repeatedly. When he's submitted to the hospital, he's still wearing the suit, but he has no helmet or bat, and his right arm is in a cast.

== Personality ==
As shown, Lucky is generally pretty brash and impulsive, as well as impatient. He's quick to anger, but seems quick to realize that anger (even asking for a pillow from Paige to scream into in the aftermath of [[Lucky Break|5-1]]). He puts a lot of weight on his fame before the end of [[Dreams Don't Stop|5-X]], but grows to depend on it less by the end of [[Act 5]], even denying the beta treatment that [[Edega|Dr. Edega]] offers to him in an attempt to appeal to his impatience. He also grows to care about his team, though he denies it.

It's said outright during [[Dreams Don't Stop|5-X]] that Lucky has a strained relationship with his parents, which could be why he depended on the fame and praise his fans gave him, and is why he turned to baseball in the first place.

== Relationships ==
* [[Logan]], [[Hailey]], and [[Janitor]] are fans of Lucky.
* [[Miner]] gives Lucky friendly advice and helps him with daily exercises after his injury, as seen in [[Seventh-Inning Stretch|5-3]] and 5-X. Miner also notably doesn't even know that Lucky is a celebrity until Lucky tells him directly.

== History ==

== Trivia ==
* His full name, Maximo Jonronero, translates to "top home run hitter" in Spanish.
* The name of Lucky's team, the Middlesea Scales, is likely a play on musical scales.

Owl

{{Character
|name=Owl
|image=File:Owl.png
|quote="There's another bird in here? It looks like Logan is approaching it again."
|first=[[Lounge]]
|internalname =Owl
|voice=N/A
|fullname =Owl
|alias= N/A
|alts=N/A
|gender=N/A
|occupation=N/A
}}

'''Owl''' is a recurring character in ''Rhythm Doctor'', making their first appearance in [[Steinway]]. Their unique heartbeat pattern is first shown in [[Lounge]]. They are one of four pet birds kept by [[Mrs Stevenson]], using [[Classic Beats]] which heavily feature [[Row Xs]]. They are usually accompanied with a three-beat pattern (<code>-xx-xx</code>).

== Appearance ==
As the name suggests, they are a medium-sized owl wearing a brown boater hat and a yellow bowtie.

== Personality ==
Although the Owl never directly speaks, their few appearances may suggest a slightly mischievous personality. In [[Meet and Tweet]], the Owl is seen contributing to the birds' conversation by speaking of their experience snatching papers away from [[Paige]]. They are also depicted in [[The 90's Decision]], aiding the Samurai in the chase for the donut. The bird that swoops away the donut in the D-rank and S-rank outcomes is never specified, though if the Owl was the bird in question, it would further add to their mischievous nature. Beyond these indirect displays of personality, however, the Owl remains with a mostly unknown demeanor about them.

== Relationships ==
*[[Mr Stevenson|Mr]] and Mrs Stevenson are the owners of the Owl. Although the former is never seen directly speaking of their pet birds, the latter is seen indirectly talking about her pet birds several times, described as "over-the-moon" when Ian and the intern take care of her birds in 4-3. Furthermore, in 4-3N, the post-clear text for the pager has Ian quoting Mrs Stevenson, suggesting that she considers her pet birds to be her "children." Lastly, in X-MAT, Mrs Stevenson is shown to be knowledgable of bird heartbeats, and excitedly begins talking at length about said topic when prompted. Due to all of these aforementioned factors, it can be assumed that the Owl's owners deeply care for them, with Mrs Stevenson in particular being fond of them.
*[[Logan]] and the Owl are first seen together in 3-1N, with the pager's pre-clear text stating that he has approached the Owl of his own accord. Logan vents his feelings out to the Owl, speaking about his inability to confess his romantic feelings to [[Hailey]]. As the level ends, both Hailey and the Owl leave Logan by himself in the plant room. It is unknown what the Owl perceives of Logan, or vice versa, only that Logan sought the Owl as a brief "therapy bird"; the pager text and some of the rank text indicates that the Owl may have been positively receptive toward hearing out Logan's feelings. The nature of their relationship remains mostly unknown, however.
*The Wren and Canary do not feature much direct interaction toward the Owl. However, the Owl is seen speaking with the Wren and Cockatiel in the middle of X-MAT, and is also depicted cheerfully looking at the Wren, Canary, and Cockatiel toward the end of the level, suggesting that the Owl is friendly and appreciative of their presence.
*Since the [[Cockatiel]], [[Parrot]], [[Oriole]] and Owl are all pets belonging to Mr and Mrs Stevenson, it can be assumed that the four of them share a friendly relationship with each other, depicted as a quad of birds in 3-1 with heartbeats forming in pattern with each other. They are also seen accompanying each other in levels, with the Owl accompanying the Cockatiel in MD-3 specifically.
*Samurai and Owl do not share much of a direct relationship. In MD-3, however, the Owl is seen accompanying the Samurai, along with the Cockatiel, and briefly aids in carrying the Samurai as it flies in pursuit of the donut.

Cockatiel is a recurring character in Rhythm Doctor, making their first appearance in a cutscene after [[All The Times]]. They make their first appearance as a patient in [[Sleepy Garden]]. They are one of four pet birds kept by [[Mrs Stevenson]], using [[Classic Beats]] which heavily feature [[Row Xs]]. They are usually accompanied with a four-beat pattern (<code>-x-x-x</code>).

== Appearance ==
As the name suggests, they are a medium-sized white cockatiel wearing a blue bow.

== Personality ==
Although the Cockatiel never directly speaks, their few appearances may suggest a friendly personality. In [[Meet and Tweet]], the Cockatiel is seen striking up a friendly conversation with the Wren and Canary, depicted in the level's ending illustration as being happy to have met the two birds. They are also depicted in [[The 90's Decision]], frequently aiding the Samurai in the chase for the donut. The bird that swoops away the donut in the D-rank and S-rank outcomes is never specified, though if the Cockatiel was the bird in question, it would further suggest a mischievous nature about them. Beyond these indirect displays of personality, however, there is not much known about the Cockatiel's personality.

== Relationships ==
*[[Mr Stevenson|Mr]] and Mrs Stevenson are the owners of the Cockatiel.

Due to all of these aforementioned factors, it can be assumed that the Cockatiel's owners deeply care for them, with Mrs Stevenson in particular being fond of them.
*[[Logan]] and the Cockatiel do not share much of a direct relationship, first seen together in 3-1 where Logan is curious about the bird's sudden appearance.
*The Wren and Canary are seen frequently talking to the Cockatiel in X-MAT, engaging in conversation heavily as they speak of their respective experiences. Toward the end of the level, the Cockatiel is depicted joyfully overlooking the Wren and Canary. These mentioned factors suggest that the three birds have befriended one another and are extremely welcoming and appreciative of each other.
*Since the Cockatiel, [[Parrot]], [[Oriole]] and [[Owl]] are all pets belonging to Mr and Mrs Stevenson, it can be assumed that the four of them share a friendly relationship with each other, depicted as a quad of birds in 3-1 with heartbeats forming in pattern with each other.

Hailey

{{Character
|name=Hailey
|image=
|quote=""
|first=[[Intimate]]
|internalname=Girl
|alts=
|fullname=Hailey Moodie
|gender=Female
}}
'''Hailey''' is a character appearing in Rhythm Doctor. She makes her first appearance in [[Intimate]]. She is the third treatable patient in the game, and along with [[Logan]] spearhead the [[Row Xs]] mechanic.
== Appearance ==
Hailey has long blonde hair, and typically adorns her hair with a pink bow. She is usually seen wearing a pink dress with a dark magenta skirt (the level [[Something to Tell You]] establishes she owns at least six identical copies of this dress).
Hailey appears to be a young teenager, and dialogue after the level [[Puff Piece]] indicates that she and Logan are in high school.
As a treatable patient, Hailey is usually shown sitting in grass. She picks a flower when you successfully hit a beat, and is attacked by a carnivorous plant when a beat is missed.

== Personality ==
Hailey is cheerful and talkative (described as a 'ray of sunshine' in the level [[Seventh-Inning Stretch]]) and while she mainly is seen spending time with Logan, she also is regularly seen interacting with new people and quickly befriending them.
She regularly leaves her room in the hospital to explore elsewhere (and is sometimes seen hanging out in the hospital's garden room). While [[Janitor]] does note that Hailey can be loud and that she and Logan 'make a mess everywhere they go', Hailey generally respects the hospital's rules and only leaves the hospital with permission. One such departure from the hospital is [[Act 4|when Hailey travels to Goldenrock]] to help her grandmother and visit distant relatives. This further shows Hailey's willingness to help people she cares about, considering how she is willing to make the trip despite currently being hospitalized for a heart condition (which [[Know You|actively worsens during her trip]]).
Hailey seems to like baseball and horror movies. Although there is a cello in her hospital room (which is also decorated with musical notes), Hailey is not necessarily a musician, as suggested by her surprise about the 'musical' nature of Middlesea hospital in [[Intimate]] as well as her implying she doesn't play an instrument in [[Murmurs]].

== Relationships ==
*[[Logan]] is Hailey's friend from school who has also been admitted to Middlesea Hospital. The two regularly text each other, watch baseball together, and spend time with each other in the hospital garden; while they both have feelings for each other and are described as 'lovebirds' by the janitor, they do not officially start dating until [[Act 6]].
*[[Cole]] and Hailey first interact on the train after [[Steinway]], and Cole gives Hailey advice on how she can get Logan to talk to her about his feelings. In [[wish i could care less]] and [[Something to Tell You]], she is seen listening to Cole's music.
*[[Miner]] meets Hailey on the train after the intern helps Miner with a difficult heart condition. He helps Hailey find her relatives once she reaches Goldenrock.
*[[Paige|Dr. Paige]] seems to have a positive relationship with Hailey, and in one version of the Act 6 ending, Hailey and Logan go to her office to tell her when they start dating.
