The player controls a bow and arrow that is being used just outside in front of the house, always aimed at the door. Ghosts will start to peak above the wall and slowly creep towards the other wall. The player must time each arrow shot, on the eighth beat, to the ghost's rhythm before they zoom to the other wall. The ghost's pace will increase and decrease during the game. Successfully shooting the ghost will result in the door opening and the ghost being thrown back into the house.
The player controls a bow and arrow, and the goal of the game is to send the pesky [[Sneaky Spirits (characters)|ghosts]] back to their haunted house as they are trying to escape. The environment is blue, with a tree in the background. It is also raining. Ghosts start to peek above the wall and slowly creep towards the other wall. The player must time each arrow shot to the ghost's rhythm before they zoom to the other wall. The ghost's pace changes during the game. The ghosts can also pop up lower behind the fence, which also lowers the volume of the music.

==Commentary==
The following is commentary given on the STAFF'S VOICE section of the booklet included in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku Zen Kyoku-shu]]''.
|[[generasia:Tsunku|Tsunku♂]]: When I played this game for the first time, I was like "Eh?" The music is bright... in other words, the tempo speeds up and slows down, and the ghosts disappear and become invisible. In a game, you are supposed to attack the target you can see, and it's impossible to become invisible in a normal game. It's the same as the "disappearing magic ball" in the Famicom [[niwanetwork:Baseball|Baseball]] game. You can't hit a ball like that (laughs). But if you count the rhythm in your mind, you will be able to shoot even invisible ghosts. Moreover, when the arrow hits the target, it feels great, just like plucking the hairs. It really felt good.
|[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10236295/ Oguro]: It is interesting how the arrow goes into slow motion when it hits the ghost. It looks as if the arrow has stuck into a marshmallow.
|[[niwanetwork:Masami Yone|Yone]]: This game was also inspired by Tsunku♂-san's dance lessons. In the lesson, we did a kind of "finishing pose" where everyone dances in unison with long rests in between, and I realized that the feeling when everyone's breath is in sync and the pose is perfect is totally different than when you dance to a certain rhythm. So, in the second half of the game, I tried to express the feeling of being able to defeat the ghosts by counting in your mind even if you can't hear the sound. This is my favorite game.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*There is a practice music for this game found in the files of ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', but it goes unused.
*This game does not have a new [[Practice]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', despite having something new (the fading music).
**There is [[Sneaky Spirits/Development|unused music]] for it, however.
The player controls a bow and arrow, and the goal of the game is to send the pesky ghosts back to their haunted house as they are trying to escape. The environment is blue, with a tree in the background. It is also raining. Ghosts start to peek above the wall and slowly creep towards the other wall. The player must time each arrow shot to the ghost's rhythm before they zoom to the other wall. The ghost's pace changes during the game. The ghosts can also pop up lower behind the fence, which also lowers the volume of the music.
Perfect!/Ace!?: The ghost is hit by the arrow and then flung through the door of the house.
Early!/Late!?: The ghost barely manages to zip past the arrow, and shudders before escaping.
Miss...?: The ghost zips through and giggles. If the arrow is shot when no ghost is passing through, it simply gets stuck in the door, and the player must wait for the ghost to pass before they can shoot again.
