Gameplay

In this microgame, the player has to perform moves to defeat the enemy, in a similar manner to that of an RPG. The name in the upper left is taken from the player name in Mega Microgame$ and from the name of the save file's Mii in Gold.

Although the player is listed as having significant HP, with 333, 666, and 999 respectively per level in Mega Microgame$! and 100, 200, and 300 in Gold, the player gets defeated by being hit once.

The player is listed as having 100, 200, and 300 MP for each level respectively in Mega Microgame$!. In Gold the MP meter starts at 120 for all levels at base speed, and then increases by 20 for each higher speed. The player will always have enough MP to perform their attacks either way.
