==Gameplay==
Players try to avoid falling off the platform as well as the Cheep Cheeps, which break segments of the platform, shortening it over time. Players can [[jump]] on, [[punch]], or [[kick]] their opponents, either pushing them off or slowing them. The [[Big Cheep Cheep|large red type]] may arrive to destroy several blocks on contact. The last player left wins, though if every player falls off, it is a draw.
The objective is to avoid falling off the platform by dodging the opponents' [[punch]]es and [[kick]]s, avoiding the falling Cheep Cheeps, and staying away from crumbling sections of the playfield. The players can punch or [[jump]] on their opponents to push them off the platform or slow them down, making them more vulnerable to the platform's hazards. Cheep Cheeps randomly fall from the sky, often towards the edges of the current platform; any sections of the platform that the Cheep Cheeps land on crumble and fall shortly after, shrinking the playfield over time. Cheep Cheeps come in small blue variants that destroy one block of land and in [[Big Cheep Cheep|large red variants]] that remove several blocks of land on contact. Players hit by Cheep Cheeps are temporarily stunned and risk falling off as a result. The last player standing wins. If all players fall off the platform, the minigame ends in a draw.
