Dog Ninja

"Ninjas rock. They can cut through, like, anything. Also? This ninja's a dog."

- Dog Ninja Description

{{Nihongo|Dog Ninja|犬忍者|Inu Ninja) is the 23rd minigame in Rhythm Heaven and the 29th minigame in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. The main playable character is a dog that slices various things such as vegetables, tires, and frying pans.

Gameplay
The objects can come into the screen from either side and be sliced when they reach the middle. They can also come in on both sides at the same time. When a good slice is done, the object splits in half.

Trivia

 * The towers in the background look similar to the one's used in Ninja Bodyguard. Both games feature a ninja of some kind that slice incoming objects (in the case of Ninja Bodyguard, it's arrows).
 * Mister Eagle from the beginning of the game reappears in Super Samurai Slice 2.
