In the game, the player takes control of Bossa, bouncing away shapes as they fly onto the screen along with Nova. Each shape follows a fixed rhythm with no change. The square shapes have two beats with the second beat at half. The circle shapes always start with a single note, then continues with two quick notes before a beat. Occasionally Bossa and Nova may switch positions, swapping roles with the shapes.
Early!/Late!: The player bumps the shape very weakly, causing it to fall down with a "doink" sound. In the Two PlayerEndless Game, this causes the players to lose a life.
Miss...: The player gets struck by the shape. The voices get interrupted as a result, and briefly sound angrier afterwards. If the player bounces at the same as Nova does, the two bump heads and she yelps. In the Two PlayerEndless Game, this causes the players to lose a life.

You didn't put your back into your bumps. The switching seemed to make you dizzy.
You need to put your back into it. Changing places confused you.
Eh. Good enough.
Good try.
Nice bumping technique! Switching was no problem for you!
You showed good volleying skills. Changing places was no problem.

Eh. Passable.

I'm glad we moved here from the cave. It's warmer, and there's a volleyball court in the yard. The neighborhood has a few loud mastodons, but no place is perfect.
The Skill Star appears after the cloud passes by the fishing caveman, in the middle of Bossa bumping the round objects near the end of the game. It is notable for being placed in the middle of a set of actions rather than a transition, as most other Skill Stars in the game.
The game is a Two Player endless version of the original, ending once all three lives are lost. P1 controls Bossa and P2 controls Nova. The background is now a featureless grey void. Each time the pair hits a shape, a letter is typed out on the top of the screen, ultimately spelling out a story.
Bossa and Nova are one of those wonderful, charming, witty, urbane couples that their neighbors adore. They live in a split- level cave in the trendy part of Big Field with Fruit Trees. Bossa's work takes him all over Big Field, and the animals love him. He is especially popular among elderly animals, who appreciate his old- world manners. Nova is a well-known local artist whose paintings adorn all the best nearby caves. On this particular day, Bossa is taking a day off to help Nova move the largest painting she has ever done. It's going to a cave near Big Hole with Mastodon Skeleton in It. An art collector has already paid Nova quite a few shiny stones and flint tools for it. Working together, the two of them move the large painting into the cave and hang it on the wall. Then they step back and admire Nova's work in its new home. "It definitely makes the cave come alive," says the art collector, "but I'm afraid it just won't do. It clashes with the other pieces. Unless... I can commission some more of your work to replace them?" Bossa and Nova grin. It may be time for Bossa to quit his job promoting conch- shell performances and become Nova's full-time agent... THE END
Bossa and Nova lived in a house in a giant tree. Bossa got up early to tend to his garden. Bossa's vegetables were the best in all the land. Nova made Bossa's lunch every day before he set off. When Bossa had left, she did her chores and put some flowers in a vase. Bossa took a break by a big tree. He ate lunch and tried to decide what shapes the clouds made in the sky. He shared his food with some young bears that were drawn by the smell of Nova's delicious food. After lunch, Bossa took a nap in the afternoon sun. Nova went out shopping after lunch. Recently, her Monkey Watch had worn out so she went to get the monkeys changed. Then she bought a rainbow-coloured candle that Bossa wanted. Bossa visited the forest's old animals to make sure they were ok. He gave them his delicious veg and Nova's bread. Bossa's visits always made them happy. Nova returned from the shops and made dinner. She made Bossa's favourite food, pizza. Of course, she used Bossa's vegetables. Bossa finally called in to see the old owl who had a special box for him. He thanked her and went home. Nova set the table, dimmed the lights and finished the pizza. Bossa returned to this wonderful sight. Nova gave him a kiss. Bossa put the box on the table and took out a cake. He then took the special candle and placed it on the top. As they gazed into each other's eyes, Bossa said, Happy Birthday!
