Super Samurai Slice

Super Samurai Slice (ゐあひ斬り伝説 Wiahigiri Densetsu) is the 26th minigame that has been introduced in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. In this game, the player controls the Wandering Samurai, who has gone back to slicing the dark aura creatures that surround him. His goal is to save the woman that was captured by these dark creatures. The sequel called Super Samurai Slice 2 is unlocked later on.

Gameplay
The Wandering Samurai must slice those dark creatures to rescue the princess being kidnapped by their leader. During the game, he will jump on a skateboard, which will make it move quicker to rescue her. Press A or D-Pad button to slice a small demon that pops up from four sides and even one from the river. When you hear a scything tune, that means there is a big demon coming for you to attack you, hold B button to counter its sword attack and then release it to slice a big demon in right time.
