There is a total of three levels, and the player must clear each level by successfully finding five exact arrangements. With each new level, more tiles are added to the larger screen on the right, making it slightly harder for the player to find the correct arrangements. The objective is to make it through all three levels in the fastest time possible. If ten minutes pass, the minigame ends and the player loses.

In two-player mode, the minigame is timed for one minute, and the number of tiles in an arrangement to find varies each round. When one player finds the correct arrangement, the timer briefly stops until the next round starts. When time runs out, the player with more points wins. If both players' scores are the same or nobody gets a point, a tie occurs.

In the ending of the single-player version, the player will do their winning animation if their record is broken. If the player does break their record, they will do their Red Space animation. In the two-player version, the players do their respective animations, unless there is a tie, in which case both players do their losing animations.
