== Gameplay ==
During practice, what appears to be a person in a white bear costume judges the player's performance, by holding up a sign with 〇 for a successful pattern, or ✕ if for a failed one. In the real thing, the spectator is a sad-looking lady who the four men are trying to cheer up. After a few rounds, the music goes faster, and more ladies get in line, including a green alien in a pink dress, a robot, and finally a woman with towering red hair. Each successful pattern adds a point, with the counter capped at 99.
In this endless subgame, the player must copy what the leading bartender taps onto his glass. After he finishes his routine, a blue haired man with glasses follows him on, and an elderly man follows him on. Once the three have followed each other off, the player must then copy what they did.
 
If the player is follows the rhythm on properly, the spectating character will cheer the men on. If the player fails, the spectating character will lose interest in the men. If the player manages to follow the rhythm properly, they will regain the character's interest, but not fully. If the player fails to follow the rhythm while the character has lost interest, the character is revealed to have left the bar, resulting in a Game Over.

In this game, four characters have a wine glass in front of them which they tap in a certain rhythm to console a sad-looking lady. The player is the fourth in line, and must copy what the first three tap onto their glass.

During practice, what appears to be a person in a white bear costume judges the player's performance, by holding up a sign with 〇 for a successful pattern, or ✕ if for a failed one. In the real thing, the spectator is a sad-looking lady who the four men are trying to cheer up. After a few rounds, the music goes faster, and more ladies get in line, including a green alien in a pink dress, a robot, and finally a woman with towering red hair. Each successful pattern adds a point, with the counter capped at 99.

If the player follows the rhythm properly, the spectating lady will cheer them on. If the player fails, she loses interest. Following the rhythm properly leads to her regaining interest, and failing again makes her leave the bar off-screen, resulting in a Game Over.
