Players pilot hovercrafts around an arena, firing [[cannonball]]s at each other. Each hovercraft has a [[cannon]] on the left and right sides, and the cannons fire alternately. When a player hits an opponent, that player earns a point. When a player is hit, that player is stunned for a moment. The first player to obtain five points wins. If nobody earns points within the time limit, the minigame ends in a tie.
 
The only difference between the day and night versions of this minigame is the decorations on the side of the arena; during the day, the decorations resemble suns, and at night, they are partially lit up to appear as moons.
