Gameplay

The game features a long, curving stretch of circular platforms. From the furthest platform, a ball spawns and begins to bounce along each of the platforms getting closer and closer to the screen. At the center and closest part of the screen is a yellow pole alongside a red pole. As the ball approaches, it will bounce along the other platforms in a rhythmic rhythm, until finally approaching the yellow and red ones, 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!
