How to Play the Dancing Minigame

Follow Karen's Movements

Follow Prompts

To play the minigame, mimic Karen’s dance steps using your controller. The button prompts will appear on the screen, but they will disappear when it’s your turn to perform, so pay close attention.

Follow the Beat

The minigame consists of five levels, each becoming progressively harder. You’ll need to keep up with the rhythm by listening to the music.

To time your moves correctly, press the buttons every time Karen claps her hands or simply follow the beat by ear.
