## Synopsis

Melodii finds themself in a rap battle against Rensa and MC Bean Machine.

## Lyrics

*Rensa: Fever means it's hot, baby, four pops makes a chain.*

*Melodii: Things just fall together when they're dropping like the rain.*

*Rensa: Fever means it's rocks, baby, four pops makes a chain.*

*Melodii: Things just fall together when their colors are the same.*

*MC Bean Machine: I see y'all standing there, thinkin' how you're gonna pop me.*
Well step back, 'cause we not gonna stop, see?
To the top before y'all can count three...
Real quick, ASAP like Rocky.

**Intermission**

*Rensa: I'm puzzled...*

*Melodii: So puzzled.*

*Rensa: By all the signs!*

*Melodii: All the signs!*

*Rensa: It seems like they really don't give a care...*

*Melodii: No cares at all!*

*Rensa: I really...*

*Melodii: You really.*

*Rensa: Don't got the time.*

*Melodii: Got the time.*

*Rensa: To sit around and play with my hair.*

*Melodii: It looks nice though!*

*Rensa: So just keep popping, just, just keep swapping.*

*Rensa: Pop 'em til you clear the lines.*

*Melodii*: *Just keep popping, just, just keep swapping,*

*Melodii*: *Pop 'em til I clear the lines*

*Rensa: Fever means it's hot, baby, four pops makes a chain.*

*Melodii: Things just fall together when they're dropping like rain.*

*Rensa: Magic from my ancestors taught me how to change.*

*Melodii*: *Things just come together when you love who you became*

*MC Bean Machine*: *My beans might pop, but we always down for hip-hop. I met a pup who was learnin' how to punch-chop. I'm goin' down on the beat like a hog on slop. Got the ladies goin' crazy for the way I rock.*

## Mistake animations

- A garbage puyo (transparent Puyo) will fall on Melodii's head. (Including the animated pixel segment version that had the design similar to the Sega Genesis)

- The blue puyo (Ao Puyo) is singing loudly while Melodii says their usual "huh?"

- The blue puyo (Ao Puyo) at the second time they sing, its eyes become little circles (just like the opera trio in Rhythm Heaven DS) when they sing.

- Melodii is frightened when the alarm clock starts ringing loudly (the ringing alarm clock resembles something out of retro phones like Nokia 2600 Classic, Samsung GT-E1080W, Samsung SGH-D500, various retro Siemens phones, LG G1800, etc.)

- The green Puyo (Midori Puyo) cuts all of Melodii's hair.

## Game Over screen

A dramatic flash of lightning appeared, turning all of the puyos into garbage puyos (Transparent Puyos), and a rain of garbage puyos will fall on Melodii's head. During the "TRAINWRECK!" Game-Over screen, a distorted, pixelated voice about a karaoke is heard before the "TRAINWRECK!" soundtrack appeared.
