==Introduction== | ==Introduction== | ||
A large | A large flying saucer is seen overhead, releasing many smaller flying saucers from underneath it. As the camera zooms down, the first player is shown riding a laser blaster as the aliens touch down on the ground in front of them. The screen then splits to reveal all players. | ||
==Gameplay== | ==Gameplay== | ||
The many small | The many small flying saucer-like aliens are trying to home in on the players' blaster and attack, so the player must shoot them to keep them at bay. An additional golden flying saucer alien who floats around erratically in the background is worth two points if shot. If an alien gets too close to the player, the latter is electrocuted and momentarily stunned. | ||
Whichever player or players shoot the most flying saucers within the time limit wins. | |||
'''Note:''' If both players get the same score in the Duel variant that breaks the current record, it counts as a new record even though no one wins. This also applies to the other Duel minigames with a record system, such as [[Swing Kings]]. | |||

The winning players perform a victory dance, and the other players soon find themselves being abducted by aliens. The winners then watch the spaceship fly off. It is possible that no one loses, in which case no one will be abducted. In case of no one scoring or both players tying in the Duel variant, all the players are abducted by the alien spaceship. | |||
