== Gameplay ==
==Gameplay==
The paddles are playing a table-tennis rally on a big flower, and you are playing as one of them. To hit a ball, you have to press A button to paddle it to serve to your rival. There are two speeds of served balls: normal, which bounce normally, and slow, which bounce a bit high.
The game takes place on a giant flower. The player takes control of a [[Paddler]], who is playing a table tennis match with their rival. The rival serves a ball, and the player must hit it back. There are two speeds of served balls: The normal ball, which bounces on every beat and the slow one, which bounces higher on every two beats.
Each cue goes at the same speed, but there are different intervals and mixes of them. Note that the fast ball set does not appear in this variant.
