The game is played using the   and the   to wave two flags: a red one and a white one. A hare in the back of stage asks the player to raise or lower a flag, saying things such as "Red! Up!" and "White! Down!". It can also trick the player with things like "Red! Not down!". After some time, a gray hare appears in the background and distractingly waves its flags randomly during the game.

Description

Raise and lower the red and white flags. You've got to stay on your toes if you want to defeat that evil bunny! Play by connecting the Balance Stone.

Strangely despite the minigame’s name as well as the Minigame’s description, there is no tortoise, and the player controls a hare despite the microgame saying that the player has to beat that evil bunny.
