The minigame takes place in the sky; as the background appears to have a city occupied with buildings below the clouds. The playfield consists of four rockets installed at each side, supporting the playfield. On the playfield, it has fourteen holes that have been covered up for now.
A short glimpse of [[Mushroom City]] is seen, then the camera zooms in to the stage. The team players are then seen landing on the stage, and the solo player appears in the middle of the stage.
 
In the scene, the camera approaches to the playfield while in the clouds. During that scene, the three helicopter vehicles holding a single player each approaches onto the playfield. Each of the vehicles drops the player onto the playfield at each side equally. Shortly after that, it reveals that the [[players]] appear to have pogo sticks being used. The solo player appears to be in the core of the playfield. The holes open up as the minigame starts.
