Additionally, the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' overworld music can be heard, but in carnival style. The camera moves and shows the player the trees that appear, the sun also appears in the background, and there is the red finish line strapped on all the trees. Then the camera moves down, as the player sees an [[Ukiki]] hanging on a tree, additionally; there is a character standing near to the tree. Suddenly, a [[coconut]] falls down and hits the Ukiki; hurting the Ukiki as the Ukiki screams and forcefully moves down while hanging on the tree. After that, three slots appear on the screen as each slot contains an Ukiki hanging on a tree and the character the players picked as the minigame starts.
The minigame opens with a brief sequence of a [[coconut]] falling and hitting a mechanical Ukiki climbing a tree.
