Great Food Festival Scenario
Table of Contents
Basic Information
"Harvesting! Feasting! Great Food Festival" (for short: GFF) is the eighth permanent training scenario introduced to the game. It was released on June 26, 2024.
As with other scenarios, it builds on the game's core mechanics, so this guide will assume you have a basic understanding of how to play. If you do not, or you'd like a refresher, please read the Beginner's Guide before proceeding with this guide.
For a more detailed explanation of this scenario's mechanics and some strategic advice, you can also check out celery's GFF guide.
Scenario Link and Character-specific Events
Special Week, Hishi Akebono, Rice Shower, Nishino Flower, Katsuragi Ace, and Akikawa Yayoi are scenario-linked for the GFF scenario.
Using a scenario-linked character will increase the amount of vegetables you get at the start of the run from 50 each to 75 each. You will also gain slightly more vegetables when training.
Using scenario-linked support cards grants three benefits:
- The skill hints gained by achieving Great Success when cooking a dish will be increased by one level.
- You can cook a specialty dish associated with the scenario-linked character (except for Yayoi, who doesn't have one) during the Senior year of training.
- During the 「それぞれの食」 training event (Early October of the Senior year), the skill you get will be upgraded from normal to gold if the associated character is scenario-linked.
Character-specific (hidden) events can trigger normally in this scenario, including character-specific bad condition triggers, and any of the events that award the skill.
Character Objectives
In the GFF scenario, every character follows their own race objective schedule. You will be presenting your dishes in Cooking Challenges every 6 months starting from Late December of the Junior year, but these do not obstruct or modify any normal objectives.
Skill Evolution and Scenario-specific Skills
The GFF scenario's special evolution skills are the following:
- (evolved from )
- (evolved from )
- (evolved from )
- (evolved from )
- (evolved from )
- (evolved from )
You can pick two of these evolutions at the end of the run, if you've learned their base rare skill during the training and satisfied the evolution requirements. These evolutions are exclusive to this scenario. They can be accessed regardless of what character you are training.
The evolution requirement for the , , and skills is the same, which is achieving Great Satisfaction in all Cooking Challenges (i.e. Tasting Parties and the Great Food Festival).
To evolve to the and skills, you will have to achieve Great Satisfaction at the Great Food Festival (the final Cooking Challenge) and learn two Short-distance skills.
The skill also requires Great Satisfaction at the Great Food Festival, plus two Short-distance OR two Mile skills.
Aside from these scenario-bound evolutions, all characters can evolve their respective awakening rare skills through the usual conditions, resulting in a total of 4 possible skill evolutions per run. There are no alternative scenario-specific evolution conditions for the normal character evolutions.
As for scenario-specific skills, you can get a level 1 hint for the skill by achieving Great Satisfaction in the Great Food Festival, and level 1 hints for the and skills during the end-of-run training events.
Whether you receive the normal or rare version of the latter skill depends on whether you achieved Great Satisfaction in the Great Food Festival or not—achieving Super Satisfaction will additionally raise its hint level from 1 to 3.
List of Dishes
Here's a list of all dishes you can cook in the GFF scenario. Not all of these are unlocked at the same time, so we'll split them into sections.
The ingredients you use to cook them are carrots, garlic, potatoes, chili peppers, and strawberries - we will use their icons in the below table to make things easier to recognize at a glance. Let's ignore that this scenario calls strawberries vegetables.
The effects of a dish are active only for the turn during which you cook it.

Unique Skill Level-Ups
The mechanic for leveling up your character's unique skill in the GFF scenario is the same as in the URA Finals scenario, with all checkpoints being in the Senior (i.e. third) year: 60.000 fans by Valentine's Day (Early February) 70.000 fans by the Fan Appreciation Festival (Early April) 120.000 fans by Christmas (Late December)
For characters with high dirt aptitude but low turf aptitude (such as Haru Urara or Smart Falcon), these values are lowered to 40.000, 60.000, and 80.000, respectively.
The April level-up also requires a green bond gauge (3 bars) with chairman Akikawa. This is regardless of whether you are using her as a support card or if she's just a scenario NPC.
Scenario Factors
The GFF scenario features five base scenario factors, one for each type of vegetable. All of them are available in the usual 1-3 star variants.
- GFF Scenario: Carrot (「豊食祭シナリオ・にんじん」) gives Speed and SP
- GFF Scenario: Garlic (「豊食祭シナリオ・にんにく」) gives Stamina and SP
- GFF Scenario: Potato (「豊食祭シナリオ・じゃがいも」) gives Power and SP
- GFF Scenario: Chili Pepper (「豊食祭シナリオ・唐辛子」) gives Guts and SP
- GFF Scenario: Strawberry (「豊食祭シナリオ・いちご」) gives Wisdom and SP
They also feature an additional effect - if you trigger any combination of three scenario factors during one of the two inheritance events, you will be awarded a hint for the skill.
Two examples of these factors in-game can be seen here:
