Trivia

• This is the first game from DS version that ended with "The End" instead of "To be continued..." at the end of the minigame in the Megamix version. The original has one, but since the sequel does not appear in Megamix, the prequel is presented.
  • Ironically in Samurai Slice, it still says "To be continued..."
  • If you miss one those last three "Stretch out your neck!", you will get Try Again rate.
