Paddling on a river, the solo player must direct the inflatable boat towards the shore on the team players' side, where [[Spear Guy]]s stab them and give the solo player their Coins, while the team of three must direct the boat towards the shore on the solo player's side to get their Coins. Aside from the threat of Spear Guys, players must avoid the rocks that jut outward from and populate the river. Players with the most Coins at the river's end win. If both sides did not win or lose any Coins, they will do losing poses; however, victory music will play.
