The player uses the A Button to quickly unsheathe, slice, and re-sheathe their sword in order to cut down enemies moving to the beat of the music. Fog eventually creeps in to obscure the player's vision of the enemies and forces them to use their sense of rhythm to best them. The more times the samurai succeeds in felling his enemies, the more intense his stance and hairstyle become.
* Miss - The enemy counties its path and hits the samurai, making him cry out in pain while flinging his entire body backward.

*The name of the game uses and old letter (ゐ) that is rarely used in current Japanese. In modern Japanese, the game's actual name would be いあい斬り which would mean "killing an opponent by drawing one's sword"
==Trivia==
*Alongside [[Karate Joe]] and the Widgits in the [[Built to Scale (Disambiguation)|Built to Scale]] series, The Lone Samurai is the only character to be in every game of the series, having been in [[Samurai Slice (DS)]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and [[Samurai Slice (Wii)]] and [[Samurai Slice 2]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''.
*The name of this game uses a nearly obsolete Japanese kana, {{Nihongo|[[wikipedia:Wi (kana)|ゐ]]|wi}}, which is rarely used in modern Japanese.

"[[wikipedia:Iaijutsu|Iai]]" refers to the "art of quickly drawing one's sword, cutting down one's opponent and sheathing the sword afterwards". In short, a quick-draw sword technique.

The name of this game uses a nearly obsolete Japanese kana, ゐ (wi?), which is rarely used in modern Japanese. The modern spelling would be いあい斬り (Iai Slash?). "Iai" refers to the "art of quickly drawing one's sword, cutting down one's opponent and sheathing the sword afterwards". In short, a quick-draw sword technique.
