Notes:
The background data has been produced by the provided background generator program (located in the second info page) instead of a type-in background.
The title is in English instead of Japanese.
This game has been minified using 1s format and no comments.
On line 490 in the original program listing, there is a typo where the word “YOUR” is missing an “R”.

Game instructions:
Press START on the title screen to begin on Round 1. Round 1 is a practice round with one short nail. The Hammer will be displayed on the left side of the screen.
Use Left/Right on the Control Pad and use the A button to rise (releasing it lowers) and try to hit the tip of the Hammer’s head against the head of the nail.
If you hit it properly, you will hear a “thud” sound and the nail will be dented one level.
When the nail is hammered all the way to the end, the round is clear.
Your time will be carried over even if you clear a round, and will be added to your time when you clear it.
Also, if you miss a nail while trying to hammer it in and it hits a nearby block, that block will break (and you won’t get any points). If the nail goes off the screen through a hole in the block, 5 seconds will be lost, so be careful. However, the block at the base of the nail will never break.
In round 2 there are two nails, in round 3 there are three nails, in round 4 there is one nail again, it is a little longer and a little harder (you need to apply some force to make the nail not dent in), and so on.
When the time reaches 0, the game is over, and you will be given a rating. The highest rating is 6 (Awesome!), so do your best to get that rating.
