 Gitaroo Man - =SSMB=
Charge: Gitaroo Man rarely starts off with full health, and the start of most matches challenge you to use the Analog stick to follow a line, and press/hold the X button on various riffs, turning with the line when necessary, to bring Gitaroo Man's health up.
Final: Once the enemy is at low enough health, Gitaroo Man goes into his final solo near the end, and constantly attacks the enemy with his mad skillz.
Gitaroo Man's health drops drastically with each missed note or failed dodge, and the notes come faster, and curve more on the analog line, making it harder to hold notes.

 Review - Gitaroo Man // PlayStation 2 /// Eurogamer
The latest evidence in favour of this [convenient] notion is Koei's Gitaroo Man, yet another bizarre button-bashing affair set to the strains of excessively odd musical stylings.
Gitaroo Man is also musically competent, thankfully, jumping to and from genres with reckless abandon, and U-1's guitar parts blend into the tunes instead of perching on top of them.
Gitaroo Man is a genuinely impressive little title with something fresh to offer fans of this rather niche market.

That, and the great gameplay, which features a unique spin on the whole "press the right button along with the music" principle that most of these games employ.
And while Gitaroo doesn't have much in the way of replayability, its multiplayer Versus mode is a terrific effort.
