How it plays
- The right button jumps the stick. The left one yanks you back down so you land sooner.
- Three lives each: touch the stick and you lose one. The stick turns faster all round, and the round ends when everyone is out. Most clean passes wins.
Rules
- How it runs. Seen from above, a stick turns on a pole in the middle and everybody stands around the ring, half on the left and half on the right. The right button jumps.
- Scoring. The left button pulls you down out of a jump. A slow stick does not need it; a fast one comes round again before you have landed.
- Winning. Touching the stick trips you for a moment, breaks your streak and costs one of your three lives. Lose all three and you are out; the round ends when nobody is left, and the most clean passes wins.
