Gameplay[]

The goal of this game is to hammer the switch as many times as you can in ten seconds. As the game progresses on, the large hammer in the background is directed to the team who has the least point. At the end of the ten seconds, the Lakitus for each team come in and present the total number of hits. The team that has the most hits win while the team that loses gets hit with the hammer. If both teams share the same score, it is considered a draw.
