If this happens again in the same direction, the game will be lost; however, if it happens on the opposite side, the nail will be fixed. If the A Button button is pressed when the hammer is too far to the left or right, it will strike Shop Teacher’s hand, hurting him and causing the player to lose. If the player waits too long, Shop Teacher gets impatient and starts counting down from three. When he reaches zero, the player loses the microgame.
