Tamaya
The Firework Shell. A round paper firework shell, 4.2 metres tall, sitting in its squat bamboo launch tube in the middle of the tub. Kraft paper, faded red and indigo bands, a short twisted fuse on top. No face: the spark on her fuse is her face.

What it does
Every so often she sends a shell up over you. It climbs for a few seconds with its name big on the screen (Kiku, Botan or Yanagi), then blooms, and its stars rain down in that name's pattern.
Learn the names, learn the rain.
Between shells, sizzling cords crawl to your feet and pop.
Keep moving.
A fountain of sparks if you crowd her.
Do not stand on her.
A roman-candle volley if you do not.
Walk out of each red.
How to beat it
- Read the name: The shell's name is on screen for the whole climb. Each name rains a different pattern.
- Keep your feet moving: The cords pop where you stand. A steady walk leaves them behind.
- Watch from where the stands do: The ring's stand view shows the whole bloom.
- Flawless: No star, cord, spark or volley lands on you.
Every class can win: each attack has a red warning on the floor and can be walked out of. About the Hug Club.
