Octopus Dance

Octopus Dance is 1 of the 12 attractions in Nintendo Land. It is a Solo Attraction that can be played with 1 Player. It is based on the game Game & Watch Octopus. This attraction supports Assist Play.

Gameplay
The goal in the game to finish 5 stages without losing all of your hearts. You have to copy all the moves that the dance instructor performs, by tilting the L and R sticks or moving the Gamepad. He'll show the dance moves in a steady 1,2,3 beat. Then in the following beats, the player has to copy his moves with him. If they perform them correctly, they will get a "Perfect" or "OK" rating based on how well you copy the moves. They'll lose a heart if you make a wrong move or don't copy them all.

Every stage has different effects, such as Miis joining the dance in the background and things that will make the game more difficult.

In stage 2, the Instructor will turn the player to face the Gamepad and away from the TV, making the player look at the TV instead of the Gamepad while copying the moves.

In stage 3, the background turns purple. The Mii will from now on look at the TV, and the player will now have to tilt the Gamepad instead of just moving the L and R Sticks. An octopus will spray ink at the Gamepad, requiring the player to copy from the TV - while the Mii is facing towards it, meaning all the move inputs will be reversed.

In stage 4, the background turns cyan. The player will now have to rotate the L and R Sticks mid-move. The octopus will still sometimes squirt ink.

In stage 5, the background turn yellow-green. The player will have to go all out with tricky moves to remember, and the octopus can still squirt ink. After completing stage 5 for the first time, the player will earn a star. Once all 5 stages are completed, they can take a break to get ready for the special stage. They have to press A to go on.

For the Special stage, the background Miis will march in line with the octopus (who will not spray ink for this stage) and Monita will join. The background turns into a sky instead of being underwater, and the stage will take twice as long as the original stages. This is the toughest stage of the attraction. The instructor will begin the 1,2,3 beat at unrecognizable times and will do moves twice as fast. The player may have to follow different counting than 1,2,3 such as 1,2 or 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. If the player completes the Special stage without losing all of his hearts, they get extra coins for success.
