'''One Slip Too Late''' (5-1N) is a level in Rhythm Doctor. It is the Night Shift version of [[Lucky Break]].

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNpVVk3BAZw The track] was created by fizzd.

== Synopsis ==
The intern treats Lucky, sitting alone in the physiotherapy ward as he sings and recounts his days of being a baseball star. The Miner makes a brief appearance near the start of the level, seemingly returning from the train. The level takes the player through various set pieces, some abstract, some literal, with Logan and Hailey joining in to sing their praises about Lucky. The level then displays Lucky as being enjoyed on a TV screen by Logan, Hailey, the Samurai, Cole, and potentially the hospital staff, before ending shortly after. After the level, Lucky elaborates on the circumstances that led him to performing outside his expected role as a pitcher, and the situation that caused his rotator cuff to be torn. He then thanks the Samurai for listening to him, to which he replies by happily stating, "Anytime."

== Gameplay ==
=== 2-player mode ===
Player 1 treats Lucky on the field, [[Logan]], and [[Miner]]. Player 2 treats Lucky in the hospital, Lucky on the field (during the first part of each chorus), and [[Hailey]].

During the namedrop section, player 2 has an additional classic beat pattern on Lucky on the field while player 1 plays the squareshots and triangleshots. This is the first time a patient is shown to have two ECGs coming out of the same sprite.

== Transcript ==
<tabber>
|-|After Clear=
{|
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|I started my career as a pitcher. I was damn good at it.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|But in my heart...I knew I didn't want to be put into a box like that.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|I knew I had what it took to be a homerun hitter.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|Coach said no. I pushed back, trained hard, and proved him wrong.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|Once he gave me a chance at bat...I became a star. Until I finally pushed my body past its breaking point.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|I insisted on pitching the full game. At bat, I was driving in runs.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|Coach thinks I'm a show-off, and wanted me off the field. But at the bottom of the ninth, I knew we'd lose if we weren't perfect.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|My body was screaming at me to stop, but I pushed on. Just needed one homerun to end it.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|I nailed it. But a second later, I felt agonizing pain.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|I kept a smile on, for the crowd, long enough to round the bases. After that, I don't remember a thing.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|Anyway, sorry for rambling. Thanks for, uh...being such a good listener.
|-
|{{Sprite/Samurai}}
|...
|-
|{{Sprite/Samurai|expr=sparkle}}
|Anytime.
|}
|-|Janitor=
{|
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|I was watching that game. The one where Lucky got hurt.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|It was awful. Thankfully, they cut to commercial, so the camera didn't hang on him too long.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|Back in the day, Lucky stuck to pitching. But he was one of those rare ones...a player who's a star on the mound AND at the plate.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|He started hitting homers and took the Scales out of their rut.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|Sadly...his shoulder gave out. I hear that's what happens after all the wear-and-tear of pitching.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}}
|I wish I could say something to cheer him up, but it doesn't look like he wants an old fan's pity.

<poem style="background-color: #faf7ed; padding: 1em;">
[Verse 1]
[LUCKY]
Won the game, made my name, fifteen minutes worth of fame
Then it came, all the pain. Is it over? What a shame
Too tough, too rough on my rotator cuff
Low weights, rehab, I've had enough

[Chorus]
[LUCKY]
Take me back to my dreams
Before the sun set on me
When the crowd went wild
Now when they call my name
All my pride has turned to shame
''(They can't see me in this state)''
One slip, too late, three strikes, for me
I've always been the one you could count on
So who will take my place
Now I'm gone

[Interlude]
[LOGAN]
Do you know? Did you hear?
His play was play of the year!

[HAILEY]
Was that him? On the news?

[LOGAN]
Video had a million views
They call him a show off

[HAILEY]
But they're not wearing his gloves

[LOGAN]
My hero would never

[BOTH]
Hesitate to take his shot

[Outro]
[LUCKY]
Close my eyes, count to ten,
Could you take me back to then...

[Chorus]
[LUCKY]
Take me back to my dreams
before the best was in the past
When the crowd went wild
One slip, too late, three strikes, for me
I've always been the one you could count on
So who will know my face
Now I'm gone
</poem>

[段]
【路吉】
又想起，棒球赛
勇夺胜利多辉煌

病床上，带着伤
何时才能回赛场

撕裂、创伤，只能故作坚强
修养、康复，困在病房

[合唱]
【路吉】
让我回到梦里
梦里重返辉煌
等欢呼声响

看台声浪齐响
没有人对我失望
（我怎么能再沮丧）

撕裂，创伤，心痛，迷惘

我曾是大家信赖的榜样
谁能替我接下
这一棒

[间奏]
【洛根】
都在说，都在讲，
今年数他第一棒！

【海莉】
就是他？大明星？

【洛根】
新闻热搜天天上。

【洛根】
都说他爱炫耀，

【海莉】
可谁知他怎么想，

【洛根】
可传奇才不会

【洛根＆海莉】
犹豫打出这一棒

[其他]
【路吉】
闭上眼，再回想
就让我回到赛场……

[合唱]
【路吉】
再次挥动球棒
为梦想再战一场
等欢呼声响

安打，双杀，三振，离场

英雄从来不会害怕受伤
黯然退场也会
被遗忘

== Appearance ==
Nicole has light green hair tied back in a ponytail, and light skin. Her work uniform consists of a white button-up shirt with rolled up sleeves, navy blue pants, black shoes, and an ocean-green apron layered over her shirt. She appears to be taller than most of the Rhythm Doctor cast, though she is still shorter than [[Miner]] as shown in promotional art.

* Following the events of [[Puff Piece]], Nicole calls The [[Intern]] cool and invites them to come by anytime. She then tells them to make themself comfortable in [[Song of the Sea]], offering to let them play on the keyboard if they like. She appears to be fond enough of the Intern to call them her new in-house pianist during [[Song of the Sea (Night)]], and expresses that the Intern can unwind at the cafe whenever they like.

* Nicole seems to be on relatively friendly terms with [[Paige]], similarly calling her cool after Puff Piece. She and Paige speak at length in Song of the Sea (Night), where she expresses concern for the doctor. Nicole expresses that she finds Paige "a delight".

* In [[Seventh-Inning Stretch]], Nicole notes to Cole that [[Lucky|Lucky Jonronero]], the new patient, is one of the biggest names on the Middlesea Scales. She is later spotted on the hospital baseball team that Lucky trains in [[Dreams Don't Stop]], and amicably calls Lucky 'Coach', showing her respect for him.

'''Miracle Defibrillator''' is a level in Rhythm Doctor. It is the first of the two Finale levels.

This is the eighth boss level, and second to last level in the entire game. It's a mix of all the previous story mode levels in rapid succession. Its difficulty comes in multiple patients (up to 6) almost all the time, and its prolonged usage of multiple windows. It is unlocked after beating [[Bitter Times]].

|''If Paige Left (6-X was not missed):''
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Thanks for coming with. It'll only be a few minutes. I was given like a dozen more things to do anyway.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|How'd the rehad meeting go? Some progress, hopefully?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Y'know...Edega is running out of patience with those two.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|He snapped at me when I said you were working on rehab with them.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|He said there's "more important things" you should be doing, now that you've moved up.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|He wants you on defibrillator testing. Then he rattled off some ideas for handling their addictions.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|One of them was some kind of numbing effect for the defibrillator. Like the pain reliever, but for dopamine receptors instead.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|That way, if they're numb to pleasure signals, they won't get anything out of coffee or smoking anymore.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|It's absolutely crazy. I mean...everything he tells me to do is!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|B-...But... no matter what he says, I don't know how to say "No!"
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|You know how Edega is if you try to question him.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|I'm not trying to risk my job here.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|I can't afford months of job-searching, all while looking after my mom.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|And more importantly...I ''like'' working here!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|I-...I'm good at what I do! And so are you!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Finding something I'm good at, and it actually helps people...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|...isn't that as good as it gets?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Anyway. Guess I should get back to work.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|There you are. What are you doing all the way up here?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Ada???
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Thanks for covering all this time. I hope the patients didn't give you too much trouble.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Not to nitpick, but you made a bit of a mess in there. (I think I saw a robot?)
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=notepad}}
|Whatever, no time for that. It's handover! I'm taking my shift now.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|You came back...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|Are you sure you want to work at Middlesea? Of all places in the world?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|I thought you were done with medicine, you said you were flying to stay with your cousin out in-
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Hey! We can catch up on life decisions later. For now...
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=yoyo}}
|What did I miss?
|-
|''If Paige Stayed:''
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|At least we've got some fresh air up here. Are you feeling any better?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|Phew. I think so. Thank you.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Tensions were kind of running high with those two, Cole and Nicole, but... I think they'll be able to work it out.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|To be honest, I don't know how you do it, Ada.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Do what?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|You always find a way to calm people down. You always find a way to get them to listen, or cheer up. No matter who it is.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Ha, well... I don't know about that. I certainly try, though.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Well, do you think you can try your magic out on Edega? He's been breathing down my neck lately.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|He keeps pulling me away from my work to make me work on all this "Miracle Defibrillator" stuff.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|He thinks it's going to revolutionize medicine. Rebuild people's cells from scratch, numb all their pain, take away their cravings... whatever they ask him to do!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|It's absolutely crazy. I mean... everything he tells me to work on is!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|He had me build security guard robots to patrol the halls because he thinks it'll keep patients safer! I don't get it!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|B-...But... no matter what he says, I don't know how to say "No!"
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|You know how Edega is if you try to question him.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Yeah, I do...
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=notepad}}
|It feels like the only person who's had the guts to do anything about him lately is the intern.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|I agree though, Edega's gotten a bit out of hand.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|It's a shame, because I feel like we had a good thing going for a while.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|What do you mean?
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|With us! As a team. You, me, and the intern.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=notepad}}
|I was skeptical about rhythm treatment when you first told me about it. But I wanted to see what it could do.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|And when we first started... it wasn't going so bad!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|You and the intern could treat symptoms with rhythm, Edega and I could follow up with standard procedure.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Being understaffed was stressful, but I could see the potential.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|I felt like we were so close to figuring out our equilibrium, all of us working together.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|We could've hired more people to share the load, doctors versed in both types of treatments...
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|...but then Edega had to ruin it, stripping everything down to the bone. He's just stubborn like a bull, I suppose.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|E-Exactly!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|I wasn't sure if I was just going crazy, or if it was all my fault things kept falling apart, or if you thought I was trying to get the intern to replace you...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|I'm glad to hear you thought we were a good team, at least. I thought so too.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|So how do we get Edega to change directions? He's in such a rush to replace all of us, he won't even wait for the tech to be properly tested.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige|expr=notepad}}
|There's got to be a way we can get him to listen. Or maybe we should ask Mark, he might know what to say.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|He's known him longer than we have, after all.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|A-Alright... let's give it a try!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Hey, you still seem really out of breath. Are you sure you don't want to take a break?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=expaining}}
|I can... push through! We shouldn't waste time while Mark's conditions is so bad! Let's... head back inside.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Alright, if you say so...
|-
|}
|-|Main Ward Intro=
::{|
|''If Paige was fired:''
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|...and after that, I finally had the intern check in on Cole and Nicole! They hadn't had any appointments since you left.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|But forget about that! There's so much other stuff piling up.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Edega wants me to kick out all of the patients who won't consent to his testing. Plus all this other stuff he wants me to do.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=dizzy}}
|I've only gotten a few hours of sleep this week. Because of him.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|It's all because he keeps having work on the defibrillator so it can become some magic cure-all...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}}
|...but he doesn't care about beta-testing any of it for safety or effectiveness or side-effects or regulations or-
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Okay, okay...slow down. It'll be okay.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Just tell me where to go. I'm here and ready to help.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|I may not be much use when it comes to rhythm... but that's what we've got the intern for, right?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|R-right.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Could you help me check on Mark? The intern and I have been so scrambled, we haven't had the time to treat him again.
|-
|''If Paige wasn't fired:''
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|So, do you think the rhythm treatment will be enough for Mark? Or should we convince Edega to perform surgery?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Depending on whether Mark's condition worsens, we might not have a choice! Surgery could take too long.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|I think let's focus on soothing his symptoms using rhythm treatment, then we can have a conversation about it.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Sounds like a plan.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|I may not be much use when it comes to rhythm... but that's what we've got the intern for, right?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|R-right.
|-

|Hopefully Edega isn't planning to do anything rash.

|Okay, let's run. Intern, meet us there. Take the elevator down to the bottom.

|T-Technically, yeah, I did...but...we can't use it today!

|Be quiet. If the three of you don't have the stomach to help this patient, then you can leave.

== Trivia ==
*The level's Perfect rank check stops once the scripted loss section begins, more specifically, when Nicole appears after Mark and Samurai.
** This makes it the only level in which you don't have to complete the ''whole'' level with no misses to get the Perfect rank.
*This level has you treat all previous patients but one, this being [[Lucky]]. Fizzd confirmed this was due to the song being too long, and so he left it to work on Miracle Defibrilator (Cole's Song) instead.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZbTzuBuiLU Rhythm Doctor OST - Miracle Defibrillator on 7th Beat Games' YouTube Channel], I totally wanted an Act 5 mashup section as well but the song was getting really long already, so i left it to focus on Cole’s Song instead. </ref>
*The story mode sections are as follows:
** 1-1 [[Samurai Techno]]
** 1-2 [[Intimate]]
** 1-1 [[Samurai Techno]] & 1-2 [[Intimate]]
** 2-1 [[Lo-fi Hip-Hop Beats To Treat Patients To]]
** 2-1 [[Lo-fi Hip-Hop Beats To Treat Patients To]] & 3-X [[One Shift More]]
** 2-2N [[Unreachable]]
** 2-3 [[Puff Piece]]
** 2-X [[All The Times]]
** 2-X [[All The Times]] & 1-X [[Battleworn Insomniac]]
** 3-1 [[Sleepy Garden]] & 3-2 [[Classy]]
** 3-3 [[Distant Duet]] & 3-2 [[Classy]] & 3-1N [[Lounge]]
** 4-1 [[Training Doctor's Train Ride Performance]] & 4-3 [[Steinway]]
*If the level is failed in the first section with Samurai and Logan, no dialogue will play and the level will never boot to the menu screen.
* Assuming [[Something to Tell You]] was played on 1P mode, this is the first instance of a <code>-xx-xx</code> pattern in a day shift story mode level.

'''Dreams Don't Stop''' (5-X) is a level in Rhythm Doctor.

It is the fifth boss level in the game. It is the first time that [[Window Dance]] is used to resize the window horizontally and vertically, in conjunction with previously established window movement. It is also the first level to utilise checkpoints, having one checkpoint during the first cutscene and a health refill on the last cutscene. Finally, it marks [[Lucia]]'s first appearance.

This level also introduces [[Blast Beats]].

The level opens with Lucky expressing discontent over his continued state of injury, wondering how long the healing process will take. A montage then plays out, with Lucky being accompanied by the various hospital patients as time flashes by. His discontent grows into anger, leading into a conversation with the Miner where Lucky opens up about his past, worrying he will remain unaccomplished if he is unable to play baseball. The Samurai then asks Lucky if he can train him.

Another montage plays out, showing Lucky training the Samurai on the field, then in a Beans Hopper cameo, as Logan and Hailey tag along to train with the Samurai. The Samurai then practices in the cafe, with Nicole pitching in to help, as Cole tags along in running with the cast. Lucky is then seeing coaching nearly all the hospital patients in the physiotherapy ward, giving a pep talk before their upcoming university game. The player then sees Ian warning Paige that the virus has returned, despite his efforts to keep it away. The view then cuts to Lucky, by himself, voicing his doubts out loud. The virus interferes as the view cuts to Lucky's dreams on the baseball field, heavily distorting the audio and visual cues.

Afterwards, Lucky wakes up, in seemingly brighter spirits, as the view cuts to a representation of the hospital patients moving around on a heart-shaped baseball field, zooming in to focus on the Samurai using his bat to swing at baseballs. Lucky is then seen, in his typical baseball outfit, giving another pep talk to the hospital patients. His sprite gradually fades into his present-day self, with his arm cast and lack of baseball material, telling the patients that they will "live with no regrets" if they continue to push themselves. The lyrics fade in again during this moment, as the resolution of the level plays out. A dusty grain effect can be seen after another baseball field montage, displaying Lucky's past memories of him serving on the baseball field, of him standing on the hospital balcony, and of him engaging in exercises with the Miner. The level's final beat ends on the Samurai swinging at a baseball.

After the level, Paige checks up on Lucky, to which he claims that he is feeling alright. Edega then speaks to Lucky about the aforementioned new rhythm treatment, now ready for use on patients, with the possibility of healing him permanently and in a fast manner. Lucky declines, stating that the friendly company of the hospital patients has made him want to stay at Middlesea Hospital, and that he has thoroughly enjoyed coaching them. Additionally, he cites the Miner's line about having "only one body," and that he does not want to risk permanently damaging it via risky treatment methods. Edega attempts to further pressure Lucky by claiming his contract is on the brink of being canceled and that he is disappointing his baseball fans. Lucky persists in declining the offer, claiming he has "found a better team."

Ian then tells Paige that the cause of the virus has been the rhythm defibrillator itself all along. He claims he can fix it, but that he needs more time to do so. He says he'll need her and the intern to distract Edega in the meantime. Lucky then apologizes to the two doctors for his previous insults, before challenging the intern to an arm wrestle. The Miner, Nicole, and Hailey then compliment Lucky for his new friendly attitude, before Lucky tells them to shut up, out of embarrassment. Paige then tells the hospital patients to rest up, as Lucky chimes in to tell them that they'll be jogging laps around the block tomorrow. Paige then tells the intern that they can head home, concluding [[Act 5]].

|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Hello.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Dr Paige was supposed to be here to assist you, but she seems to be running late.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Getting distracted by other patients, presumably.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Before your next procedure, there's a few things you need to be prepped for.
|-
|''[Tutorial Begins]''
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} You've done an excellent job so far, regulating Mr Jonronero's heartbeat during this difficult time.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} It's still behaving erratically, so there's a few new patterns to be prepared for.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega|expr=noteflip}} According to Ian's notes, this first exercise is called the blast beat.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} It follows those "Get, Set!" cues that you learned back in the SVT Ward...
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} ...but it's a bit off-time from how it usually goes.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Watch this demonstration.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} As you can hear, there's an extra whistle cue from the nurse to signal this type of beat.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Our patients' heartbeats are always unpredictable.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} If someone is going to master this defibrillation system, they need to be ready for anything.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Try not to miss any beats, even if that quick transition catches you off-guard.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Let's see how you do.
|-
|''[Player One practices Blast Beats.]''
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Good enough.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega|expr=noteflip}} There's another pattern you should brush up on.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Mr Jonronero's heart is subdivided strangely. And sometimes it beats in quick chunks.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} I've told the nurse to warn you with a cue when this appears. She'll shout "One!"
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} One last test...
|-
|}
::''[If any beats are missed:]''
::{|
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Impressive
|-
|}
::''[If the player has no misses:]''
::{|
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Excellent. You never miss a beat, do you?
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Last time I saw Paige using the rhythm defibrillator, she was still struggling with swing beats.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Hm...
|-
|}
{|
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Ian is lagging behind on his research. I need you to keep the patient stabilized until he's done.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} It may take a few weeks, at this rate.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} Once the new defibrillator is finally ready, we'll have a landmark procedure on our hands.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} You've done a lot for us in a short time. A promotion would be well-earned.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}} I'll be watching.

|-

|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}} H-Hey Ada, we've got a problem...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}} The virus is back.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}} No matter what we do, it sticks around.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}} Then the intern will have to keep watch on the whole team. What choice do we have?
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=bed}} Can't sleep...why is my heart racing?
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=bed}} Do I really care whether they win this pointless match?
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=bed}} Or does 'coaching' just mean that I'm giving up on my dreams?
|-
|''[Interlude]''
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky}} Ninth inning, team!
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky}} I know how it feels. Like you're running on an empty tank. That it'd be easier to just let it be over.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky}} But don't give in.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky}} Y'know, when you all said you wanted me to coach you...
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky}} ...I thought you were joking. I didn't think you'd stand a chance in a real game, but here you are.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky}} That's why I've learned never to listen to what coaches have to say. They're usually clueless.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky}} So listen to me just this once, then never listen to me again!

|How are you feeling today, Mr Jonronero?

|...
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|Not too bad, actually. Just taking it one day at a time.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|The shoulder doesn't hurt so much anymore.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Excellent! Glad to hear it. Oh, and hey...congrats on your team's win!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|The hospital team, I mean. I can't believe you were able to whip them all into shape so fast.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|Ha. Well, I was surprised to see they had it in them.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Ah, there you are, Mr Jonronero.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Good news. Ian has completed a beta build of the new defibrillator.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|It's much more powerful, more fully featured. We're calling it the Miracle Defibrillator.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega|expr=noteflip}}
|If we perform the procedure today, you can be back in the pro league by tomorrow morning. No recovery period.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|Wow. Wait, really? Tomorrow?
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Of course. In time for the playoffs. Ready?
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|...
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|.....
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|Actually...I think I'll pass.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Excuse me?
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|I couldn't tell at first, but it looks like I've been making good progress on my own.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|Even if it's taking forever.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|When I got here, I was dying to get out, but...maybe this place ain't so bad.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|The people are...nice. And persistent.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|I thought they were screwing around when they said they wanted to play ball. But they really went through with it.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|And every point they scored...it felt just as good as scoring my own.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|Maybe even better.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|I've spent my whole career trying to make miracles happen on pure grit and determination.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|But after seeing how pumped they were winning just one little game...maybe all that energy I built up is better spent somewhere else.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|...
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|If your "beta build" thingy goes wrong...I might lose this part of me that's still left.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|I can't do that. I've only got one body, y'know?
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Interesting. The choice is your own, but, if I may...
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega|expr=noteflip}}
|From what I can tell, the status of your next contract with the Middlesea Scales seems to be hanging by a thread.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|You're keeping your fans waiting. And your team. I can't imagine that reflects well on you.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|...
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|Well, maybe I've found a better team.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|Thanks for the offer anyway, doc. Good luck with your beta testing.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Hrm.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Interesting.
|-
|{{Sprite/Edega}}
|Enjoy the rest of your stay. I'm sure Dr Paige must know what's best for you.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Hey, uh, Ada...we should talk.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|What's up?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|About that virus, Connectifia Abortus...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|The intern's work at the baseball game, handling the big flare-up...it gave me a lot of great info.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|I think I've figured it out. It's the rhythm defibrillation system itself that keeps causing the glitches.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Oh...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Yeah. Yikes, right? But there's good news! I think we can fix it.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|I just need more time.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|Edega keeps dragging me away to work on his new "miracle cure" thing.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|If you and the intern can keep him busy, and take care of all the patients...I can figure out how to get rid of the virus!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|That's good!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=tired}}
|Y-yeah! Although, maybe a little bit easier said than done.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Definitely...but the intern's been unstoppable so far!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Together, we'll keep things running as smooth as-
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|Oh hey, doc.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|Since I'm gonna be stuck here anyway, and I'm still feeling the post-victory glow...
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|...I wanna get something off my chest.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|You two aren't so bad. Maybe.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|I mean, you do spew a bunch of techno-jargon at me. And keep me cooped up in bed all the time.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|And, uh, make me eat yogurt and weird vegetable mush.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|But...at the end of the day...I know you're just trying to help.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|Sorry if I gave you a rough time. Or something.
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Not at all! We're just here to do right by you, no matter what. Even on the days when being here isn't so fun.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|Well, from now on, I'll try not make your life a livin' hell, haha. I promise.
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|And as for you, intern. Once I finish my recovery...
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|...I'm challengin' you to an arm wrestle!
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|So you better not transfer to any other clinics, y'hear?
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|(The intern is gonna break this man like a twig...)
|-
|{{Sprite/Miner}}
|Making friends over here, Coach? I knew you had it in ya!
|-
|{{Sprite/Nicole|expr=stir}}
|Loving that hustle, Coach! The charm! The can-do attitude!
|-
|{{Sprite/Hailey}}
|Awwwww, Coach! If you just wanted to make friends, you shoulda just asked! We'll be your friends!
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=angry}}
|S-shut up!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Alright, everyone! Party's over! Back to your rooms!
|-
|{{Sprite/Lucky|expr=cast}}
|Yeah! Rest up real good, because you're all joggin' laps around the block tomorrow!
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}}
|D-does he mean us too?
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|I think so!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|Alright intern, you can head home now! Sounds like we've got a workout to do!
|-
|{{Sprite/Paige}}
|See you tomorrow!

|-|Janitor=
{|
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} Did you hear about the hospital baseball team?
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} They went up against a university and actually won!
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} I overheard that girl Hailey stressin' about how they were going to come up with a uniform.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} She wanted matching outfits for the team.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} I figured I'd help her out... so I gave her a box of old hospital staff uniforms. For the janitors and such.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} Turns out that was exactly what she needed! Using those old ratty things, she sewed together those really cute baseball uniforms.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} Now, I'll be honest with ya, I was tempted to join the team myself.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} I've got a real mean arm. I could see myself pitching.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} But... well, I chickened out. I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of Lucky.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} I figured maybe my energy would be better spent somewhere else.
|-
|{{Sprite/Janitor}} That's why I went to the game and cheered loud and proud from the bleachers!

[Verse 1]
To all my fans (To all the fans)
I tried my best but things are tough
I'm out of luck (You're out of luck)
My joints are torn, I can't hold on

Everybody believes there must be
Something wrong with me,
To stay this way
But my dreams don't stop,
So I'll keep holding on

[Verse 2]
The air is still
But there's no peace inside this place
Fans lose their cool
My team moves on, I've been replaced
I'm fed up with waiting
My body is fading
I'm sick of your sympathy

[Outro]
I'm stepping away
From all my regrets of yesterday
I'm more than my dreams
It's time to move on
To all of my friends, I'm holding on

拼尽全力（拼尽全力）
坚持到底，还是失败
好运耗尽（好运耗尽）
浑身伤痛，默默忍耐
每个人都说我还不如
不如就这样悄悄离开
梦想永不歇，我还是想比赛

看台依旧
但欢呼已变成责怪
辜负期望
理所当然，不再被爱
我不愿再等待

那遗憾已是昨日风光
不被梦捆绑
我不再彷徨

== History ==
* Before the 1.0 release, a dialog was present before playing the level, instructing the user to disable Steam Overlay as indicated:
::{|
|-
|
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}} Before we continue, we should-
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}} Sorry, hold on. My phone's buzzing.
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}} Hello? O-oh, okay...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian|expr=explaining}} Apparently, it's for you.
|-
|"In order to ensure optimal performance while using the Rhythm Doctor defibrillation system...
|-
|...we highly recommend that you disable your Steam Overlay before proceeding.
|-
|To disable, right-click Rhythm Doctor in your library.
|-
|Go to Properties, go to General, then disable the option labeled "Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game." Then, restart the game."
|-
|*click*
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}} ...
|-
|{{Sprite/Ian}} ...cool...can I have my phone back...
|-
|}
* This advisory was removed once the game was updated to allow levels with window resize to support Steam overlay.

== Trivia ==
* This level now marks Lucia's first appearance within a main story level. Prior to the Act 5 update, [[Art Exercise]] was the first level Lucia could be seen in as a pixel art character, as well as a cameo in [[Meet and Tweet]]. This makes it one of the few Early Access levels to add a previously established character to the story mode.
* This is the only boss stage to have a tutorial.

'''Miracle Defibrillator (Cole's Song)''', also called '''Cole's Song''', and previously known as '''Miracle Defibrillator (Encore)''' is a level in Rhythm Doctor. It is the last of the two Finale levels.

This is the ninth boss level, and also the last level in the entire game. This level is entered immediately after [[Miracle Defibrillator]]'s scripted loss section. Like the previous level, it features heavy usage of split windows, even playing around with the characters during the whole song.

|You were the closest friend I ever had.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|It was mutual, wasn't it?
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|We were in the trenches together. Preparing for exams. Studying, rushing, surviving.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|But the second I hesitated...the second I didn't see work the same way you did...
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|You dropped me. Without a second thought.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|I was nothing to you. And after I quit, you wouldn't return any of my messages, wouldn't meet up, nothing.
|-

|And now that I'm here, broken and miserable...now I'm suddenly useful to you again?
|-

|I never planned to come find you again. We went our seperate ways and I wanted to keep it that way.

|But now that I have your undivided attention, and this could be my last chance...
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|...I'll just tell you what I really think.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|You're a sad little man, Gabriel. Just like me.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|The only difference is that instead of giving up, you've become obsessed.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Obsessed with your career. Your reputation.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Obsessed with being the man who's going to fix everything and everyone.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|Even if it means breaking the people who are trying to help you.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|And the moment someone disagrees...you stop seeing them as a person.
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|But even knowing all of that...
|-
|{{Sprite/Mark}}
|If that old Gabe I knew is still in there, anywhere...there's still a stupid part of me...
|-

|...that would want to go out for drinks after work and catch up after all this time.

== Trivia ==
*This level plays not only with windows, but also with the patients, for example, Logan jumps from one window to another after the first drop, and Cole falls off a window before being caught by the Intern during the second.
**This first example means that the patients can somehow see other windows, as Hailey points out that Logan is in space.

thats a lot of contributions!!! we very very appreciate them

looking through a lot of these is reminding me that, wow a lot of the pages i wrote are ''Very'' inconsistent and there should probably be some kind of '''Manual of Style''' written at some point (particularly things like "(integer[])" dont read great when not using a <code>monospace font</code>)

do you have a discord or email to talk with ? user talk is okay im just not that used to it Lol

== About the Game ==
''Rhythm Doctor'' is a 2D, pixel-art rhythm game, developed and published by [https://7thbe.at/ 7th Beat Games] and [https://indienova.com/en Indienova]. The game entered early access on Steam and Itch.io on February 26, 2021 for Windows and MacOS. The full release came to Steam on December 6, 2025, and to Xbox on December 29, 2025. It remains updated with new additions, bug fixes, and further development.

In ''Rhythm Doctor'', players have to accurately press their spacebar respective to a variety of different beat types and gimmicks layered over a music track within each unique level of the game. It also allows players to customize their own character sleeve with its built-in sleeve editor.

''Rhythm Doctor'' is 7th Beat Games' second major published game, and was originally a free Flash game inspired by Rhythm Heaven, made during college summer breaks from 2011 to 2012. The first online version was released at the end of 2012.

The game received overwhelmingly positive feedback on Steam during its early access release, and has ultimately been praised for its unique story and characters, gameplay mechanics, visuals, and soundtrack.

The game includes a [[Level Editor]], which is also available for [https://giacomopc.itch.io/rdle free download] without purchasing the game. It allows players to create their own levels, which they can upload to the Steam Workshop or to the non-official community [https://discord.gg/rhythmdr Discord server], for others to play. The game supports single-player mode, shared or split screen co-op, full controller support, as well as remote play.

== Pre-Early Access ==
:Rhythm Doctor has gone through many changes.
* [[Flash Demo]]
* [[Closed Beta]]
* [[Steam Demo]]
* [[CNY Demo]]
Other
* [[Run Ian Run]]
* [[Samurai Clicker (Rhythm Samurai)]]

Help:Editing

2026-07-30T18:18:26Z

Protolyte: Created the page (I borrowed a lot of text from the Terraria wiki since they do a pretty good job explaning it.

== Experienced with Rhythm Doctor, but new to wikis?==
* A wiki is designed so that every user is able to make changes and contribute to its content. If you something on a page that could be improved upon, go for it! Just click the "Edit" tab at the top right corner and you should be able to edit its content. You may have to [[Special:CreateAccount|create an account]] and/or [[Special:UserLogin|log in]] before you'll see the "Edit" tab – but it's free and takes under a minute to do so.
*'''Don't be afraid to edit.''' Wikis log any changes that are made to a page, and if you make a mistake, you or someone else can easily fix it – so take the initiative and make a change if you think it's useful. (Tip: Before saving your edits, you can press the "Show Preview" button to see how the page looks with your edit.)
* If you want a quick run down on the syntax used for MediaWiki wikis, you can visit [[Help:Syntax|this page]].
== Experienced with wikis, but new to Rhythm Doctor? ==
* The Rhythm Doctor Wiki is designed to be a reference for all things Rhythm Doctor-related. Feel free to create articles on topics as you encounter them, and to use the wiki as a guide for your experience.
* If you've worked with MediaWiki wikis before, then all of the standard formatting will be familiar.
== New to everything? ==
* The best way to learn is by going to a [[Special:Random|random page]]. More likely than not, there will be something that you can improve upon or learn about on that page.
* If you don't find what you're looking for, remember that the wiki is made up of articles contributed by its users – it might just be that no one has written about that topic yet! So create one!
* Enjoy exploring the Rhythm Doctor Wiki!

Free Time Beats

2026-07-30T01:31:44Z

Protolyte: Added One Shift More as a level due to the lyrics section at the end.

== Description ==
'''Free Time Beats''' (also "Free Times") are a [[Classic Beat]] that has been split up into multiple events. This allows you to change the timing for each beat individually, and can be used to create gimmicks like [[Syncopation]].

== Levels ==
*[[Lo-fi Hip-Hop Beats To Treat Patients To]] (purely CPU, never played)
*[[Distant Duet]] (song swings in an irregular manner) 
*[[One Shift More]] (some pulses offset to match the lyrics)
*[[Steinway]] (some pulses offset to match the piano)
*[[Know You]] (tutorialised as a custom pattern)
*[[The 90's Decision]] (tutorialised as a custom pattern)

== Cueing ==
There are lots of ways to cue Free Time Beats. If the rhythm doesn't fall into any pre-established gimmick, the best way to cue it is by showing a pattern once with CPU control, then repeating it and letting the player play it. If the same row has more pattern variation, keeping the Free Time Beats with a '''[[Set Beat Sound|unique beatsound]]''' helps differentiate it from other patterns, and is the most common way of doing so.

Alternative ways of cueing Free Time Beats are by making a custom cue and pattern, though this is generally discouraged for levels that don't use such a pattern often.

Protolyte: Added Lune to the list of character-specific templates

Sprite is a template which draws a single sprite from a spritesheet.

If a sprite is drawn for a one-off thing, you can use this template directly. Otherwise, it's better to create a separate template for the character, to reduce boilerplate.
A list of character-specific sprite templates can be found here:
* [[Template:Sprite/Ian]]
* [[Template:Sprite/Paige]]
* [[Template:Sprite/Farmer]]
* [[Template:Sprite/Samurai]]
* [[Template:Sprite/Edega]]
* [[Template:Sprite/Janitor]]
* [[Template:Sprite/Logan]]
* [[Template:Sprite/Hailey]]
* [[Template:Sprite/Insomniac]]
* [[Template:Sprite/Cole]]
