The player controls a pink Huebird located in the center of the screen. He has to march in step along with the other Huebirds. When one of the birds squawks, this is a cue for all the Huebirds to squat and jump in time with each other.

Controls

• A = March
• Hold A+B = Squat
• Release A+B = Jump

Hit or Miss

• Hit: The Huebird will step and jump in time with the others.
• Barely: N/A
• Miss: The Huebird bumps into the bird in front of or behind him, looking surprised while the other bird looks annoyed. This may switch the footing pattern if the player continues without anymore breaks.
