Now you have to shoot for 5,000 points! It's really hard for me to do because the controls feel backward to me. Up is up and down is down instead of the pitch being inverted. Throws me off something crazy. And yeah, the masamune replica is just a useless prize.

As far as a tissue goes, I always figured it was a joke item for not fully completing the battle mini-game. Like, here you go, now go cry in a corner and use this to wipe your tears. Except that you get one for winning if I remember correctly, also. :\
