[[File:Story_Flipper-Flop_gameplay.PNG|thumb|258x258px]]In this game, players must press A to the beat of the song. When three consecutive quarter notes played are heard in the song, the player must press A in the same timing in the next two beats. The caller, Captain Tuck, will ask the seals to perform a certain amount of "flipper rolls", which are performed by pressing B button. Each cue goes at the same speed, but there are different intervals and mixes of them. Notice that the three time flip cue is not presented in this variant.
