Gameplay
In this game, the player controls The Wandering Samurai who is once again slicing Demons, who have kidnapped a woman in the village.
During the game, the Demons spawn from all corners of the screen, coming out of thin air or from the water, with the samurai slicing them at the right time. In the middle of the game, he boards a skateboard, slicing demons on the move. Occasionally, a big demon appears, who the samurai must first block before slicing. At the end, the samurai faces the purple large demon who had kidnapped the woman.

Trivia
- This Rhythm Game is designed to resemble video games from the 8-bit and 16-bit era. This extends to the title using the word "Super", as many games did back in the day. The prologue having "2015 MADE IN KYOTO" beneath the game's logo and options for "1 PLAYER" and "2 PLAYERS" references how the earliest games from the Nintendo Entertainment System and arcade games from around that time would display their copyright and player options, as well as the year in which Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+ was released, and the location of Nintendo's headquarters, Kyoto, Japan.
- The scream the lady makes upon being kidnapped is reused from Tap Trial when Girl misses a jump.
- Like in Iai Giri and Iai Giri Gaiden, the Japanese title of this game uses a nearly obsolete Japanese kana, ゐ (wi?), which is rarely used in modern Japanese.
- This game appears in the "Wario...Where?" Challenge Train course. Here, The Wandering Samurai is replaced with 9-Volt and 18-Volt, who must rescue Sal Out instead of a lady.
