Template:Infobox Rhythm Heaven Megamix, also known as Rhythm Paradise Megamix in Europe and Australia, Rhythm Tengoku: The Best Plus in Japan, and Rhythm World: The Best Plus in South Korea, is a rhythm game released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2015 in Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan and 2016 in the rest of the world, and the fourth installment of the Rhythm Heaven series. The game largely consists of games taken from past installments, along with handful of new ones. Like previous installments of the series, Rhythm Heaven Megamix is a collaboration between Nintendo SPD1 and Japanese song producer Mitsuo Terada (also known as Tsunku♂).
While the WarioWare series and the Rhythm Heaven series have made occasional references to each other in the past (most prevalent in Game & Wario) due to being developed by the same team, Rhythm Heaven Megamix solidifies the link between the two series by including a set of challenges featuring the cast of the WarioWare series.
