If the player touches at least 1 of them, a point will be deducted once the minigame is finished (the amount of points deducted does not increase as the player makes more mistakes). A point will also be deducted upon skipping the minigame. There may be treasures hidden under the line: when the player traces over them, they are revealed and glow a little.
