Rhythm-based Minigames: Difference between revisions

'''Rhythm-based minigames''' refer to [[minigames]] in the GTA series where the player is required to enter a sequence of commands in a rhythmical fashion that often plays alongside a certain song. The feature was introduced in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] in two forms: '''dancing''' and '''lowriders "bouncing" with hydraulics'''. The feature has resurfaced in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]], a [[DLC]] for [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], in the form of a dancing minigame in clubs.

While dancing, players may witness the player character's performance on the dance floor. If they miss a rhythm, the player's character will perform a poor dance; if they time their rhythm right, however, the player character will evidently dance better. In addition, spectators on the sidelines may cheer or jeer the player depending on their performance. Like most minigames, successful dancing has no significant benefits except to please [[Girlfriends in GTA San Andreas|girlfriends]] that the player brings along.

Lowrider bouncing in GTA San Andreas, also known as the [[Lowrider Challenge]], functions similarly as dancing, except the player assumes the command of a lowrider equipped with hydraulics and bounces to the rhythms of [[wp:Johnny Harris|Johnny Harris]]'s "Odyssey" or [[wp:Ronnie Hudson & The Street People|Ronnie Hudson & The Street People]]'s "[[wp:West Coast Poplock|West Coast Poplock]]" in all three levels. The completion of the minigame is mandatory during "[[Cesar Vialpando (mission)|Cesar Vialpando]]", and the player can reenter the same lowrider meet at [[Unity Station]] if they are in a hydraulic-equipped lowrider. Unlike dancing, the player can bet a small sum of [[money]] against an opposing lowrider competitor, and must beat said competitor by scoring the highest number of points.
