I inadvertently chose to do the funeral one, in which you flip an open coffin at the elderly mourning crowd. It was worth the 200 yen.

Also, I’d note that in addition to “Flip the Dinner Table,” Shigeru Miyamoto invented Super Mario Brothers and Donkey Kong.

They seem to enjoy the sight of a foreigner smashing tables. :)
