How to Increase Gourmet Rank Fast in Kirby’s Dream Buffet
Obviously, the first thing players should do to earn more strawberries is simply play against other players in Kirby’s Dream Buffet. And try to win when possible. It can be hard to constantly stay in the winner’s circle due to the randomness of the power-up items, but players should still aim to score as many points as possible to level up their rank fast.
Strawberry Bonuses
Now, there are some strawberry bonuses that Kirby’s Dream Buffet players can get at the very end of a match. These bonuses can help players potentially surpass others to shake up the final results. The list below will show the ones we’ve seen so far, but there might be other bonuses too.
Most enemies defeated Most raspberries munched Most Copy Food Abilities used Most time spent hovering Most minigame strawberries Most cookie walls crumbled Most cherries chomped
There’s also a x1.80 strawberry bonus for playing online matches.
Max Gourmet Rank in Kirby’s Dream Buffet
The max Gourmet Rank in Kirby’s Dream Buffet is 135. If players would like to unlock every clothing and color option for Kirby, and the other collectibles, they’ll need to get to that max rank by playing through some matches. It’ll take quite some time to get there, but the hardcore players should be able to get there with little to no issues. There’s a chance that the rank could increase with a post-launch update or patch, but for now, 135 is the number to hit.
