Controls

• A + B: Catch
• A: Slap

Hit or Miss

• Hit: The candy will be grabbed and dropped in a box. Spiders are slapped forward to the ground, and walk back offscreen.
• Barely: The candy is grabbed, but a "tink" sound is made. Spiders will be only grazed, making them fall straight down.
• Miss: Candy and spiders will fly past you and into the employee's workspace, making him shudder (with a more visible shudder for spiders). Slapping candy instead of grabbing it cause it to be knocked down. Grabbing spiders instead of slapping them causes the employee to grab them, then drop them and shudder.

Rating Notes

• Try Again: "Wait! Is there ANY candy in here?!"

Trivia

• The money thrown at the end of the game counts as one of the requirements for a Superb rank. This means that if you get all the other things right, but miss the money, you only get an "OK" rank.
• The employee played in this rhythm game bears a striking resemblance to Munchy Monk. He also slaps the spiders in a very similar manner as to when the Munchy Monk slaps his arm. He is however not confirmed to actually be the Munchy Monk.
• The employee is only given an ID number exclusive to the North American release.
• The employee' ID number, #333-4-591032, is a symbolic code for "EEE, a spider!"
