Upon being dropped onto the stage, King Beeb will slowly wander about before flashing yellow and curling up into a ball. King Beeb rolls around faster than normal Beebs so it is advised that the player takes advantage of their ability to jump by flicking the gamepad's screen in order to avoid being crushed. The stage is usually shaped like an octogon, so running from corner-to-corner while he is rolling around is the best way to avoid being crushed.
