There are two characters in this minigame, neither of them going by names. You play as the yellow one on the right side of the screen. There are three main cues to press the A button. Pressing the A button makes the yellow one go "Unh!" (The three cues are the "Isn't it?" as "Unh!" once, "Could it be?" as twice and "THE BEST!" as "Unh!" twice again but faster)
