Samurai Slice (DS)

Template:Game-Nav Template:Endless game infobox Samurai Slice (ゐあひ斬り外伝 Iai Giri Gaiden) is an Endless Game in Rhythm Heaven. 17 Medals are required to unlock it. It features the Wandering Samurai from Rhythm Tengoku's Iai Giri.

Gameplay

Tapping the screen makes the samurai step on a wooden plank to bounce food. Coins will come out of the sliced food, which racks up the player's score; watermelons are worth one coin, while fish and Demons are worth two coins. When the full moon rises, all coins earned will be multiplied by 10x for a brief period of time. The game moves faster as the score rises. If the samurai fails to slice food items at least three times, the game is over.

Gameplay of Samurai Slice

The variation in timing is also based on which food is going to be sliced.

Watermelon: The most basic item to slice. The watermelon will bounce off the wooden plank once and then will be able to be sliced with the samurai's sword.
Blue fish: This item will bounce off the wooden plank twice, so waiting twice as long to slice is crucial.
Gold fish: This fish is rarer than the blue fish. Slicing it will give the player one heart.
Demon: This enemy, who is returning from Iai Giri, has a mask with big red nose. Once it is bounced off the wooden plank it will be launched in the air and out of sight, and then fall down in front of the samurai. It will take two beats to it to fall.

Controls

Tap: Step on plank
Flick: Swing sword

Korean Version

This is the first and only time the Wandering Samurai stars in an Endless Game.
Further in the game, the words 555-SAMURAI will appear on the Moon. If the player types that into the Phone rhythm toy, they will get sounds of the Wandering Samurai from Rhythm Tengoku.
The music in this game is similar, or the same, as Iai Giri's music.
This marks the first time that the Wandering Samurai changes his appearance in the Korean version, as seen on the right.
- However, this is different from the Wii and Super Samurai Slice versions.
According to the “Listen to Music” section of the Café, the song for this minigame is called Fresh Samurai.
