The game Hopping Road features a long, curving stretch of tall poles, each with a circular platform on the top. From the furthest pole, a ball spawns and begins to bounce along each of the poles getting closer and closer to the screen. At the center and closest part of the screen is a lone yellow pole, alongside a lone red pole. As the ball approaches, it will bounce along the other poles in a rhythmic rhythm, until finally approaching the yellow and red, where the player must simultaneously use the D-Pad and A button (respectfully) to carry the ball across the end of the curve. The minigame lasts for just about a minute, with the balls varying in both speed and numbers throughout!
