The objects can come into the screen from either side and be sliced when they reach the middle. They can also come in on both sides at the same time, but this doesn't change the timing, it just causes somewhat of a distraction. When a good slice is done, the object splits in half.

The player plays as the eponymous [[Dog Ninja (character)|Dog Ninja]], who slices things such as vegetables, tires, and cast-iron skillets. The objects come into the screen from either left or right, or both sides, and must be sliced at the precise moment.
During practice, [[Dog Ninja (character)|Dog Ninja]] can be seen inside a room. In the real game, he is seen outside, with [[Mister Eagle]] appearing at the start with a sign saying "Cut everything!"

*This is one of a few games to have different rating screens of both versions.
*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.
*The eagle that appears at the beginning reappears in Slicing Legend 2.
**Additionally, the prologue to this game shares the same scenario as the one to [[Ninja Bodyguard]]: A big yellow moon with grass in the foreground with a dark blue sky.
*[[Mister Eagle]] reappears in [[Super Samurai Slice 2]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
*In an advertisement for the demo of ''[[Rhythm Paradise]]'', this is erroneously referred to as a "karate-style" game<ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/News/2009/Download-a-Rhythm-Paradise-sample-to-your-Nintendo-DS--251065.html Download a Rhythm Paradise sample to your Nintendo DS! | Nintendo]</ref>.

I, a humble ninja beagle, did battle on high a mighty eagle. I fought for my lord most regal, though it was probably illegal. I was then befouled by a seagull. I pray there is no sequel.
