==Introduction==
==Overview==
A Toad is shown playing a tribal drum set in a nighttime forest. The scene zooms out to reveal the player as the game begins.
Limbo Dance opens with a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] playing tribal drums.


==Gameplay==
The player has thirty seconds to limbo under every Limbo Stick, featured in blue, yellow, and red varieties in decreasing height. The player character can bend back slightly as they move forward or adjust themselves upward in place instead. The player loses if either they bend too far down or unsuccessfully pass under a stick.
The player has to limbo under all the Limbo Sticks (of varying heights, color-coded by difficulty) in 30 seconds.


Blue sticks are the tallest and easiest, then yellow, and finally red, which can be very tricky. The player must press {{button|n64|A}} to move the character forward and make them bend backwards a little. They can also stay in place to bring themselves up a bit if needed; pressing the button too fast will cause them to bend too far back and fall down, losing the game. Pressing the button too slowly will also make the player lose, because they will stand all the way up and not pass under the limbo stick. If the player does reach the end, they win ten [[coin]]s.
If the player reaches the finish line, they win ten [[Coin]]s and do their winning pose. If the player loses, they fall on their back, shaking their legs while trying to get up. If time runs out, they do a losing pose.


==Ending==
Limbo Dance costs 50 Coins to buy at the [[Mini-Game House]].
If the player makes it across the finish line, they do a winning pose. If they lose, they fall on their back and shake their legs trying to get up. Alternately, if they're standing up, they fall over. If time is up, they do a losing pose.
