— Samurai Slice Description

Template:Minigame infobox Samurai Slice (ゐあひ斬り Wiahikiri) is the eighth game in Rhythm Tengoku. In it, a middle-aged samurai is protecting a town from monsters.

Gameplay

The player uses the A Button to quickly unsheathe, slice, and re-sheathe their sword in order to cut down enemies moving to the beat of the music. Fog eventually creeps in to obscure the player's vision of the enemies and forces them to use their sense of rhythm to best them. The more times the samurai succeeds in felling his enemies, the more intense his stance and hairstyle become.
