Hedge Honcho as a duel minigame.

In the scene, the minigame sets in rows of hedges the players are in.

When the player is done, the player goes deeper and sets on the start of the race. After that, the minigame starts.

Gameplay

In this minigame, the player has to clear the leaves the player sees by using the stylus until the player reaches to the next hedge. The player cannot clear a leaf that is behind the leaf that is facing to the player unless the player clears the front leaf. The players have to go across five hedges in the way to try reaching to the finish line. There are two obstacles will affect the gameplay, they occasionally appear in the hedges.

Ladybugs appear on the leaves during gameplay. The player has to rub on them by using the stylus, if the player rubs the ladybug hard enough; the ladybug will fly away for the player continuing to clear the leaves in the pathway. Bees also appear on the leaves. If the player rubs on the Bee while the player rushes, the player gets stunned by the bee for a moment. When the player is quickly confronted by a bee, he or she has to wait for a moment until the bee flies away so the player can continue to clear the path. Both insects occasionally appear in hedges.

The first player that reaches into the pond wins the minigame.
