Game Modes
- Main Course (Free-for-All) – The standard game mode, all versus all. Every player starts with five lives and tries to knock the rest of the players off the table. The last player standing wins.
- Royal Buffet (Different Food Types) – The same conditions from “Main Course” apply, but when you get thrown off you’re brought back to life as another character. There is an unlimited amount of lives available, but limited time for every match. The player with the least falls wins. If two players have the same amount of lives the result will be drawn as a tie.
- Side Dish (Team-Mates) – A two-versus-two team battle. Every team will have five lives shared by both players, so you’ll need to work together to win!
- King of the Cloche (King of the Hill) – Every player will seek to control the cloche of desserts that will be spawning in different parts of the stage. If two or more players stand on the cloche at the same time, the timer will stop, and only if one player remains the timer will continue. The cloche changes location every 30 seconds. In order to win the match, a player needs to control the cloche until the percentage hits 100.
