The player space dancer must follow the directions of the other partners and sometimes [[Space Gramps]] by pressing the corresponding button as the partners signal what to do. The three moves in this game are "And Pose!" ("Turn Right!" in the Japanese version), "Let's Sit Down!" and "Pa-Pa-Pa-Punch!".

A group of [[Space Dancers]] are dancing together, and the player must dance in time with the others. They follow the directions of the other dancers and [[Space Gramps]] by pressing the corresponding button as the partners signal what to do. The three moves in this game are:
*{{Nihongo|Pose|かたむく|Katamuku}}: A voice says {{Nihongo|"And Pose!"|"Turn Right!"}}, where the dancers raise their left hand on "And", then tilt to the side on "Pose!"
*{{Nihongo|Squat|スクワット|Sukuwatto}}: A voice says {{Nihongo|"Let's Sit Down!"}}, where the dancers stand up on "Let's", then squat on "Down!"
*{{Nihongo|Punch|パンチ|Panchi}}: A voice says {{Nihongo|"Pu-Pu-Pu-Punch!"}}, where the dancers motion with their open palms on the first three syllables, and punch on the last one.
|miss=The player follows out of sync, making a "tick" sound. [[Space Gramps]] raises an eyebrow.
*Tap: Appropriate action
|through=The other dancers collide with the player as they make their move. [[Space Gramps]] looks embarrassed.}}
==Timing Notes==
*Hit: You follow with the rest of the dancers in synchronization.
*Barely: You follow with the rest of the characters, but you will be out of sync and hear a tick noise. Space Gramps will raise an eyebrow. '''A barely counts as a miss.'''
*Miss: The other dancers collide with you as they make their move while you do not. Space Gramps has an embarrassed look.
