The players attempt to gather five different musical symbols that come from the sky and fall down onto the ground within the time limit of 30 seconds.

If a musical symbol hits the ground, it disappears and cannot be collected. The players' dialog boxes on the screen indicate which certain musical symbols are collected and which ones are not collected. The players can stun others by simply jumping on them; if a player is stunned, they can barely move or jump for a brief moment. The first player to collect all five different symbols wins.
