The story aspect of the game is described as unconventional, featuring a plot that intertwines with various minigames, reminiscent of WarioWare. Players can engage in a solo story mode or a multiplayer party mode, with the option to unlock an infinite mode for further gameplay and character progression after completing the story.
“These minigames can be played either solo in story mode or multiplayer in party mode.”
“Additionally, when you complete story mode once, you can play infinite mode to level up a mealmate as little or as much as you want, and farm for cash and items.”
“The plot is... odd.”
“WarioWare with minigames that coincide and determine story elements.”
