Rhyth is a playable character and member of the GG's in Jet Set Radio and Jet Set Radio Future. In Jet Set Radio, she is named Mew and like that of most characters, her role in the plot is minimal. She simply appears at the Garage, challenging the GG's to copy her tricks through Benten-cho. Upon completion of her challenges, she joins the GG's, becoming a playable character. In Jet Set Radio Future, where she is now known as Rhyth, she joins the GG's after the player proves their skill by doing a few tricks in Rokkaku-dai Heights in similar fashion to the first game. Rhyth is described as a devil's advocate and someone who likes money. She can also be rather blunt, as shown when you initiate conversation with her as Beat at certain points, she will tell you that you "smell weird."
Jet Set Radio
Jet Set Radio is a 2000 action video game developed by Smilebit and published by Sega for the Dreamcast. The player controls a member of a youth gang, the GGs, as they use inline skates to traverse Tokyo, spraying graffiti and evading authorities. Development was headed by director Masayoshi Kikuchi, with art by Ryuta Ueda. Influence was drawn from late 90s Japanese pop culture such as the rhythm game PaRappa the Rapper, and the anti-establishment themes in the film Fight Club. The environments were based on Tokyo shopping districts in Shibuya and Shinjuku, with graffiti designed by artists including Eric Haze. It was the first game to use a cel-shaded art style, developed in response to the team's disappointment towards Sega games mainly resembling anime or manga. Jet Set Radio received acclaim for its graphics, soundtrack, and gameplay. It won several awards and was nominated for many others. A Game Boy Advance version, developed by Vicarious Visions, was released in 2003, along with versions for Japanese mobile phones. In 2012, Jet Set Radio was digitally re-released for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and iOS, followed by releases for Windows, PlayStation Vita and Android. A sequel, Jet Set Radio Future, was released for the Xbox in 2002.
