Dog Ninja

Dog Ninja (犬忍者) is the 23rd minigame in Rhythm Heaven and the 29th minigame in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. The player plays as a dog that slices things such as vegetables, tires, and frying pans.

The objects come into the screen from either side and are sliced when they reach the middle. When a good slice is done, the object is split in half.

Trivia

 * The towers in the background look similar to the ones 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).
 * Also, the Dog Ninja title card shares the same scenario from the Ninja Bodyguard title card: A big yellow moon with grass in the foreground with a dark blue sky.
 * Mister Eagle reappears in Super Samurai Slice 2.
 * Missing even 2 objects will reward the player with a Just OK.
