Gameplay

[edit | edit source]

Apron of Magic involves using special collectible cards, which need to be scanned into the arcade machine. Gameplay is performed using the touchscreen. The cards must be scanned in the following order: the character card (Red), the ingredient card (Yellow), and finally the Magic Power card (Blue). However, there is a time limit, and players may scan as many cards as they can within it. The player then needs to follow some steps in the game to make sure the food has been prepared and cooked well in the process. Presentation and tasting were done in the end. If the player fails in one of those steps, the dish the player will cook will not end well.

Characters

In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the company, Sanrio included several characters, which gets expanded later on in each revision. More characters are also added in each revision, making it have the highest number of Sanrio characters that ever debuted in the game. Heart Aino and Saki Tsuzura, characters from EXAMU's fighting game Arcana Heart, also appear in the game as playable cameo characters.[4]
