Samurai Slice (ゐあひ斬り外伝?, Iai Giri Gaiden) is the 2nd Endless Game in Rhythm Heaven, unlocked with 17 Medals. It features The Wandering Samurai returning from Iai Giri.
Gameplay
the Wandering Samurai stand utop a wall with his foot on a wooden plank. Various items get thrown at the far end of the plank, which the samurai is tasked with popping up and then slicing. The sliced bits then are caught by the children below. Coins come out of the sliced objects, which serve as the player's score. When the full moon rises, all coins earned will be multiplied by 10x for a brief period of time. The game moves faster when it reaches the end of the loop in the music. After the first loop, particles indicating seasons beging to fall for each loop (sakura leaves for spring, green leaves for summer, brown leaves for autumn, and snowflakes for winter).
The game begins with three lives, represented with flames. If the player loses them all, the game is over.
Items
Each item thrown has a different rhythm.
- Watermelon: The most basic item to slice. The watermelon bounces off the wooden plank once to then be sliced with the samurai's sword. Gives 1 coin.
- Fish: This item bounces off the wooden plank twice before being sliced. A yellow version may appear at the end of the loop, which restores one life if sliced, up to a total of 5. Gives 2 coins.
- Yokai: This enemy, returning from Iai Giri, bounces off the wooden plank, gets launched high in the air and out of sight, then falls down in front of the samurai. The timing for the slice matches the timing it would take in Iai Giri following the music. Gives 2 coins.
Controls
