The player plays as the eponymous Dog Ninja!, who slices things such as vegetables, tires, and cast-iron skillets. The objects come into the screen from either left or right, or both sides, and must be sliced at the precise moment.

Mister Eagle Ninja Poetry
Sprite 3DS Rhythm Item Mister Eagle.png
Item holder.png
I, a humble ninja beagle, did
battle on high a mighty eagle.
I fought for my lord most regal,
though it was probably illegal.
I was then befouled by a seagull.
I pray there is no sequel.
