Rewards[]

Patapon 1[]

Ubo Bon will always drop 1 thing after every sequence, whether it be a leaf or an item. If you do all sequences perfectly or miss a few notes, you will get a drop at the end. If you are lucky you will get some drops before then. When Ubo Bon is humming at the end of the minigame, pressing the button will shuffle the drop.

Difficulty[]

In Patapon 2 Ubo Bon can drop much more items.

In Patapon 2 Ubo Bon can drop much more items.

Easy. You'll usually get all of the sequences correct on your first go. Level 3 in Patapon 2 is a bit tougher to perfect, due to the triple circle press near the middle and the wide range of "two double beats, one single beat" sequences, but you should still be able to get Level 4 items from it with practice.

Trivia[]

  • The leaves that Ubo Bon drop during the minigame are useless.
  • In some early pictures, Ubo Bon is seen dancing with flowers and a spider in the background, though in the actual game, there is none.
    • Ubo Bon and Pan Pakapon in the Patapon 1 Beta

      Ubo Bon and Pan Pakapon in the Patapon 1 Beta

      Pan the Pakapon originally had a more regal-looking hat.
  • During development, Ubo Bon cursed a little. This was changed for final release.
    • This is the only minigame in Patapon 2 to use dialogue after the introduction. (e.g "BON BON BON")
