==Overview==
Before the game starts, the player has to look carefully at the pegs before the butterflies cover the tops. In order to win, the player must [[Ground Pound]] all the pegs with a flat top. Ground Pounding a peg with a pointy top injures the player and causes them to lose time. Sometimes, the [[Butterfly|butterflies]] do not cover the pegs up completely, giving a better advantage for the player.
