It is the first level in which the player has to juggle Oneshots that have a different rhythm from one another. It is also the first level in which two different voices for "Ready, Get, Set, Go!" cues can be heard, with Ian's voice dictating Cole's oneshot rhythms, and the nurse's voice dictating Nicole's oneshot rhythms.

The track was created by SoundCloud users @stinkbug and @coda. It is a remix of Artificial Intelligence Bomb by naruto.

Synopsis

The player treats Nicole, who is playing a videogame in the cafe after repeatedly asking Ian to set up his old consoles, and Cole, who joins in playing the videogame with her. The two play against each other in an increasingly intense session, that eventually leads to Nicole being the winner, as suggested by the post-clear text denoting "the musician being a sore loser."

Trivia

  • The dialog mentioning "Falcon dittos" as well as the S-rank achievement name suggests that the game being played is Super Smash Brothers, or at least an in-universe equivalent.
