Twelve wooden pegs are lined up in a field. Five of them have flat tops and the other seven have spiked tops. At the start of the minigame, butterflies fly in and cover the tops. Once you take control, remember which pegs had flat tops and ground pound all five before the timer ends to win 10 coins. If you hit a spiked top by mistake, you’ll be stunned for a second or two.
