The Dolphin Show Minigame can be unlocked after you've reached Junon in the main storyline of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth (FF7 Rebirth). Read on to learn tips for completing the minigame, the controls for riding Mr. Dolphin, as well as the rewards for beating it.

How to Unlock

Complete Tides of War and Worry

Although the Dolphin Show minigame appears in Chapter 4, you won't be able to replay it until Chapter 12. At that point, the Tides of War and Worry Side Quest will become available. Once you clear this quest, the Dolphin Show will be permanently unlocked, allowing you to play it anytime.

Dolphin Show Minigame Tips

Hit as Many Balls as Possible

Try to hit as many balls as possible on the track to increase your speed. Your speed will increase every time you hit a total of 10 balls.

Avoid the Floating Obstacles on the Course

Hitting obstacles on the course will slow down the speed you've maintained throughout the course. Avoid the obstacles by anticipating their direction through the targeting prompt on the screen.

Only Use Sharp Turns When Necessary

Performing sharp turns can help your dolphin pivot through difficult turns throughout the track. While helpful, performing it too often may slow down your speed.

It is recommended that you only use sharp turns when trying to avoid obstacles or being unable to execute a full turn.

Dolphin Show Minigame Rewards

Story Progression

In Chapter 4, you won't receive any rewards regardless of your performance. As long as you reach the destination correctly, the game will progress, and that's pretty much the reward you get from this minigame in this chapter.
