Gameplay[edit]

The microgame involves adinosaur chasing after the player's character(s). They must hold left or right on the+Control Pad left or right orLeft Stick to avoid being eaten by it when it bites. If the D-pad or stick is no longer held, the character will return to the center lane.

The dinosaur will not do sweeping bites despite how it tilts its head, so that if its head leans left, it will attack on the left, and the same procedure for when it leans right. Remaining in the middle lane will always lead to a loss.

  • 3rd level difficulty: The player controls two men on unicycles, who hold a relay baton together. The dinosaur attacks almost instantly, can hesitate, and may attack twice.
