A Button-Mashing Sprint

That black gamepad resting flat on the rug was practically begging for a showdown! I dashed right up to it and leaped onto the directional pad, aiming to tap every single button in one lightning lap. Thump! I charged toward the shiny round cross button, but my paper foot skidded on the glossy plastic and I tumbled headfirst between the twin thumbsticks. Argh, completely tripped up! But wait—my chin landed right against the rubber grip of the analog stick. Using the bounce of the thumbstick like a springy vault, I pushed off, spun around in mid-air, and came down with both feet stomping the big shoulder trigger with a loud, satisfying click!
