In this mini-game of reflex and
skill, Kirby takes on 5 opponents in this samurai showdown.
The game
consists of Kirby facing one opponent after the other,
and waiting for the exclamation points to appear.
Once it's appeared, press one of the
buttons to attack your opponent as fast as possible --
before they attack you. But don't go before the
exclamation time -- or else it's considered a penalty,
and your opponent automatically wins after two
penalties. Your penalties are cleared at the start of
each new opponent.
The beginning levels are slow, but as
you reach the seasoned opponents, the difficulty
increases.
There are three levels: Beginner,
Novice, and Expert
You face 5 opponents in all
levels, with increasing difficulty. They are: Waddle Doo,
Wheelie, Cook Kawasaki, King Dedede and Meta Knight.

Tip: If you are having problems
beating the opponents, try closing your eyes and pressing the
button when you hear the sound. Your may reflexes may be faster
by hearing, instead of visual.
Once you have beaten the most
difficult setting, you have mastered the game! If you are
looking for a challenge, try tying your opponent. It's very hard
to do, and takes skill to get them right on the split second.
