Mechanics
The objective of this mini-game is to defeat as many baddies as you can. The baddies approach through four paths. Sora covers the two left paths, and Mickey covers the two right paths. Sora and Mickey both have "LEFT" and "RIGHT" buttons, which allow them to hit to the left or right.

Hitting a baddie at the right time gives a PERFECT score, which increases the COMBO count. Hitting a baddie a little too early or too late gives a GOOD score, which defeats the baddie, but resets the COMBO count. Not hitting a baddie on time gives a MISS score, which reduces Sora's life by 1, and resets the COMBO count.

Baddies approach in a certain rhythm, with different types of baddies moving in different ways. Baddies with white helmets move in a straight line. Baddies with black helmets approach in pairs; one on Sora's side, and one on Mickey's side. Baddies without helmets can jump between paths.

The score increases by 10 for each GOOD score, and by 15 for each PERFECT score. When the COMBO count reaches 10, it grants a score multiplier to all PERFECT scores. The multiplier increases for each 10 COMBO counts.

Origin
The Barnyard Battle is based on the from 1929. In the short, Mickey joins the army, and ends up bashing the enemy on the head with a hammer as they exit the trench.
