Deltarune: Cooking Mini-game Guide (Chapter 3)

In Chapter 3’s TV World sequence, players encounter a culinary challenge hosted by Tenna requiring quick reflexes. This food-service segment involves intercepting airborne ingredients and fulfilling patron requests under time constraints.

Mastering this mini-game demands adaptation to unconventional controls and overcoming suboptimal approaches. Below you’ll find optimized tactics for achieving peak performance.

Control Scheme for Culinary Challenge

  • Analog Navigation: Left stick directs movement
  • Command Inputs:
    Y – Exit option (hold)
    A – Launch item
    B – Vertical evasion

The control mapping surprises many gamers, as the jump function isn’t assigned to its traditional button. After adjusting to this layout, focus shifts to operational tactics.

Ingredients descend from above while players navigate hazards. The primary goal involves efficient item collection and timely delivery while avoiding destructive flames through well-timed leaps.

Periodically, bonus customers appear with enhanced scoring potential. These temporary visitors vanish after three screen crossings, requiring swift response.

Optimal Tactical Approaches

Two primary methods exist for maximizing scores. The first involves accumulating ingredients until bonus patrons appear, enabling massive point gains through bulk deliveries – though this restricts mobility and increases risk.

Alternatively, consistent small deliveries (3-4 items) provide stable score progression. Prioritize flame-jumping and aerial catches for bonus points, combining these with regular orders for efficient T-Rank achievement.
