While swinging, circles appear and become smaller. Swinging down right as the circle disappears results in faster speeds.

The player must then grab the bar with a 0.00 to 1.00 points added or lose 0.50 points and have to wait a bit to continue. On the third jump from the high bar, the player goes to the low bar then back then next jump. This is repeated again. After going on the lower bar two times, the character turns around to land on a mattress with 4.30 points. Timing with perfect timing results in a perfect 1.00 points. Getting close to perfect timing results in 0.99 points. In both cases, the player is able to pose by moving the Wii remote up and earn .20 points.
