Random: Ring Fit Adventure's Start Menu Contains A Rhythmic Easter Egg

Make some noise

by Liam Doolan Wed 23rd Oct 2019

In case you forgot, not long after the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition and the Overwatch: Legendary Edition last week, the Switch received Nintendo's new exercise game, Ring Fit Adventure.

While it hasn't been making headlines as much as the other two games, there are plenty of people out there enjoying this fun and exciting new game. One of these individuals is our very own fitness fanatic, Gonçalo Lopes.

As you can see above, he's posted a video highlighting a neat little easter egg - where you can flex and rotate the Ring-Con on the game's main menu to make some noise that sounds similar to a drum. Nintendo's often added interactive menu easter eggs like this to its games over the years, so it's great to see the tradition continues.

If you would like to find out more about Ring Fit Adventure, be sure to check out our Nintendo Life review.

Have you tried out this game yet? Did you know about this start menu easter egg? Tell us down in the comments.

As a marathon runner, this looks very intruiging. I will start with intense mode

I wonder if they made the ring bigger, that we could use it like a hula-hoop. Oh everyone would have soo much fun hula-hoopin. This would probably change the world and peace would reign because all the people would be hula-hoopin.

@PBandSmelly As a fairly average person whose been playing this game in intense mode I can say it's very fun. I don't personally have the stamina yet to handle more than about two levels at a time at this difficulty (the "adjusted" difficulty for me on Intense is '20') but it's a great workout.

After four days of intense workout in ring fit adventure I woke up today with sore muscles. I love the game and hope it will receive further support and updates from nintendo and hope it will thrive. Highly recommended.

I put two days in between sessions to get less sore, I really like it as a means to exercise, especially as it offers a lot of exercises you would normally skip

Is this really an Easter egg? I thought Easter eggs were secret nods to other games and cool little tasty tidbits hidden by the devs for a bit of fun. Not menu noises.

Edit: I guess hidden menu noises can be a bit of fun - I’ll agree on a very small Easter egg.

@beazlen1 It is a reference to this:

There is a very simple drum kit hidden on that menu folks. You can find bass drum, snare, crash cymbal, claps and even vinyl scratching depending on how you hold and press the Ring-Con. It is fun to jam to the title music.
