Fruit Basket

Time to put a fresh and surprisingly literal spin on the idea of "street basketball." Also, fruit!

Who Threw These?

Sometimes basketballs and fruit come zooming over the fence from the school next door. I always look over the fence, but there's no one there. Is the basketball court haunted?

Skill Star

The Skill Star can be collected when you bounce two lemons at the very end of the minigame.
