Gameplay
To enter game mode, the top button on the left must be pressed to select the difficulty level, with GAME A for easy and GAME B for hard. Next, the button below it will start the game. Birdo is firing eggs from the top of a wall. Raccoon Mario must catch them before they land by moving either left or right. Each egg is worth one point, and the maximum points is 999. The game ends if Mario misses three eggs, but he can erase a loss if he reaches 200 and 500 points. Occasionally, a Starman will appear in the lower right of the screen. Catching it awards five points.

Trivia
- In the Japanese instructions, Birdo is called by her English name (バード) as opposed to her Japanese name, Catherine (キャサリン). At that time, Catherine was known in Japan only through Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and had no relation to the Mario franchise since Super Mario USA was not released there yet.
- When the game begins, "Pop Goes the Weasel" is played. During Game Over, "Jarabe Tapatío" is played.
