Key Features
- If Eaten, It’s Lost Immediately – No matter how painstakingly crafted the sushi may be, once eaten, it’s an instant defeat. It heads straight for the customer’s stomach and never comes back.
- Source High-Quality Sushi Toppings, Prepare the Better Sushi, and Send It Out to the Race – Each sushi topping has different performance characteristics. How well you’ve mastered making that particular topping also affects its performance. Use training to perfect your ideal sushi. However, since sushi is a perishable item, its performance degrades after each race.
- Timing is Crucial for Boosting – During the race, all you can do is “cheer on” the sushi to boost it. You can escape chopsticks by using boost, but the sushi race isn’t that easy—you won’t win just by doing that. Sometimes you’ll need to take risks and use boost to overtake rivals.
- Variety-Rich Sushi Toppings – Some sushi toppings possess unique skills. For example, Flounder can dive to dodge chopsticks in an emergency without using boost, while Sea Urchin can use its spines to knock rivals away. There are over 40 different skills, some of which can be learned through training.
