Rules
To play the game, Link must have obtained the Seed Shooter. The object of the game is to try to hit all twelve Rupee-like crystals using the Seed Shooter while being pulled along a track in a Mine Cart. If Link successfully destroys nine to eleven targets, he will win 20 Rupees. A more special prize is obtained by destroying all twelve targets. The first time this is accomplished, Link will receive the Rock Brisket, which is a key item in the obtention of the Old Mermaid Key. This item is required to enter Mermaid's Cave dungeon, making it necessary for Link to get a perfect score at Target Carts at least once in the game. If Link does it a second time, he will receive the Boomerang. Afterwards, the prize will either be Rupees or a Gasha Seed.
