How to Play the Waddle Dee Cafe: Help Wanted!

Give the Item Shown in the Bubble

Get the product the customer wants in the bubble above their heads. Correctly giving the item will add to your score, but handing over the wrong one will decrease the Satisfactory Bar and affect the score you'll get later on. It will last for 50 seconds, so keep on serving up orders and try to finish as many as you can!

Item Patterns in the Bubble

Appears as a Blank Icon	Appears Slowly

Aside from the item showing instantly inside the bubble, there are two more pattern you should watch out for. Sometimes the icons will only appear as blank icon with the outline only, or sometimes it will gradually fill in.

Maintain the Customer Satisfaction Bar

There is a bar above the screen that indicates the customers' satisfaction. It will gradually decrease as time goes by, or if you make a mistake giving out an item. It will be game over for you if that bar is completely depleted, so try to be fast but accurate when serving them!

Lunch Rush Time Event

When there are only 20 seconds left on the timer, the Lunch Rush Time event will trigger. There will be lots of Waddle Dees lining up once it's Lunch Rush Time, making the Satisfaction Bar deplete faster.

Look ahead at what the next customer wants

To help you with serving the crowd of Waddle Dees more quickly, you will be able to see what the next customer wants once Lunch Rush Time starts. You can survive this event by focusing both on the current customer and the next one. It will also help you have a smoother playthrough by doing so!

Waddle Dee Cafe: Help Wanted! Difficulty Differences

Possible Orders and Satisfaction Bar Depletion

As the difficulty level increases, the number of items you can serve will also increase. The speed of depletion of the Satisfaction Bar will also be affected. It will be hard to play on the Frenzy Gig right off the bat, so try to get used to the first two difficulties before taking on that level.

Note that you can unlock all the difficulty levels by finishing the Easy Gig.

Possible Items Per Difficulty

Get More Reward on Higher Difficulties

Score Calculation

Tips for Clearing Frenzy Gig

Check what the Next Customer wants

Lunch Rush Time allows you to see the next customers' order in the last 20 seconds. Prepare to move while selecting the item the current customer wants to maximize the time you have and serve as many customer as you can before the timer ends. Try not to make extra movements to save time!

Stay in the Middle

Staying in the middle will help you get to the other items faster. For example, it will take you a long time to get to the Kirby Burger if you're in front of the Car-Mouth Cake, so staying in the middle will cut the time to get to each item.

Make it a habit to go back to the center spot after completing an order to get the work done quicker.

Focus on Customers' Orders Only

Thinking and looking at the time and the Satisfaction Bar will only put pressure on you. Try to focus on the customers' orders only to avoid getting your movements dulled by being under pressure.

Keep the Satisfaction Bar High before Lunch Rush Time

The Satisfaction Bar depletes much faster in the Lunch Rush Time. If that bar is almost out once Lunch Rush Time starts, you'll probably lose in the blink of an eye. To avoid that, make sure not to make any mistakes before Lunch Rush Time starts to keep a high Satisfaction Bar.

Rewards for Clearing Frenzy Gig

Get the Cafe-Staff Kirby Figure

You can get the Cafe-Staff Kirby Figure after finishing the Frenzy Gig level in the Waddle Dee Cafe: Help Wanted! minigame. You only need to complete the Easy Gig level to unlock the Frenzy Gig level, and you don't have to clear the Hustle Gig level if you just want the Figure.
