The way to defeat these enemies can be somewhat difficult. One must start off by hitting one of them. It will halt and stop, showing one of the four card suits. Then, the person willing to destroy these creatures will have to hit the other two so the suits all match up. If they don't, they will all activate and start shambling around the room again. If all three of the enemies are killed with a suit of diamonds, they will each drop a [[rupee]]. Also, if all three are killed with a suit of hearts, they will each drop a [[Recovery Heart]]. One good way of defeating them is to charge up a spin attack and wait for them to all be in range; this will hit them all at the same time and ensure they are all on the same suit.

If all three are defeated with a suit of hearts, they will each drop a Heart.
