” | — In-game description of Slash & Bead. |
Slash & Bead (also referred to as Meta Knight's Slash & Bead) is a Sub-Game available exclusively in Template:KEEY which stars Meta Knight.
Gameplay
Slash & Bead tasks the masked swordsman with flying through courses in an auto-scrolling environment, collecting Fuse Beads and Luminas while defeating as many enemies as possible. Occasionally, an enemy ambush will appear with a set time limit, which Meta Knight can increase by a few seconds at a time if he defeats enough of them, allowing the wave to go on longer to potentially score more points. At the end of a stage, the player is given a score and rank depending on the results. A number of Fuse Bead Mats can also be earned for playing this game mode.
Scoring
- Each Fuse Bead collected is worth one point.
- Luminas are worth 50 points each.
- Each enemy defeated is worth 5 points, and may also drop additional beads.
Controls
The following actions are available to Meta Knight during this game mode:
- Move - Any direction on + Control Pad or Circle Pad
- Slash - A (a three-step sword combo when repeatedly pressed)
- Piercing Slash - B (grants momentary intangibility)
- Special - R (defeats enemies and draws beads toward Meta Knight when his gauge is full)
Meta Knight is capable of flying freely through the air along with running on the ground. He can also use the Piercing Slash in any direction.
