Game Help[edit]
Deliver each customer's food order correctly!
Step 1: Prep the Food
Press 
to grill the hot dogs, add ketchup, or move food to the tray. Press again to put drinks or fries back.
Step 2: Serve the Food
Once an order is ready, press 
to give it to the customer. Deliver the correct order to get a high score!
PRO TIP:
Don't overcook the hot dogs! If you see three smoke trails, that means they're cooked just right.
Mechanics[edit]
The objective of this mini-game is to serve the correct food to the customers. The "CONTROLLER" buttons allow Sora to move left and right, and serve a customer. The "ACTION" button allows Sora to interact with the food.
Sora begins each order with a hot dog bun. By moving to one of the two grills and pressing the "ACTION" button, he can place a hot dog on the grill. After a few seconds, three smoke trails will appear above the hot dog, indicating it is cooked. Pressing the "ACTION" button near a cooked hot dog will place it in the bun. Waiting too long to pick up a hot dog will cause it to burn.
Sora can add a drink, fries, or ketchup to the order by moving to the objects and pressing the "ACTION" button. Drinks and fries can also be put back by pressing the "ACTION" button again.
Once an order is finished, Sora can hand it to the customer by moving up. The score received is based on the food given. Any missing or extra food will reduce the score obtained. Correctly serving a hot dog, fries, or a drink earns 16 points, while 16 points are taken if any of the items are missing or weren't ordered. Correctly adding ketchup adds another 4 points, while 4 points are taking for missing the ketchup, or adding it when it wasn't ordered. If an order is delivered correctly, an additional 20 points are earned.
After reaching a high enough score, the stage ends, and the next one begins. The current score is kept between stages.
The game starts with 90 seconds, and 30 seconds are added each time a stage is cleared. The game ends when the time reaches 0.
