[h2]New World [Star Drop] Unveiled![/h2]
The 9th world, [Star Drop] has been added!
The world is set in a kingdom high above the ground, where shooting stars fall.
Race through four new courses, encounter herds of glowing jellyfish, and explore a place where you can hop around floating islands!
[h2]A new gimmick that lets you soar through the night sky using stars![/h2]
Collect stars from the meteor showers and Star Mice, then dash through the night sky by attacking the stars above!
When you pick up a [Star] that falls on the course or attack a [Star Mouse], you’ll get a [Star]!
Use a [Star] to attack a [Star Frames]!
Right after a rival penguin attacks a [Star Frames], you can attack without consuming a [Star].
Ride the stars and surge ahead!

[h2It is now easier for attacks to land. It’s especially improved on the Switch![/h2]
The time between the start of attacks and the activation of hitboxes has been shortened, making it easier for attacks to land.
The reasons for the change are as follows:
・Many players, during their first playthrough, would press the attack button just as they overlap with a seal and repeatedly fail to land the attack.
・On platforms like Switch, where the frame rate may fall below 60fps, a phenomenon occurred where attacks were less likely to hit because the character’s position would change between the button press and hitbox activation.
Attacking is the most fundamental action in this game, and players should be able to experience success with it right from the start. At the same time, we aim to minimize differences between platforms as much as possible.
Previously, there was a delay between pressing the button and the hitbox activating, in sync with the character’s animation. With this update, the hitbox now activates immediately when the button is pressed.
We will continue to monitor how this change affects game balance and make further adjustments if necessary. Additionally, this update only speeds up the hitbox activation timing. No other elements have been changed.
[h2]You can now expand the emote slots! 20% off until June 11th![/h2]
The moment we’ve all been waiting for!
You can now expand the emote slots from the default 4 to 16 slots.
Buying one expansion slot at the shop will increase your capacity by 4. To celebrate the launch, enjoy 20% off until June 11th. Be sure to take advantage of this offer!
[h2]We’ve added a tutorial mode![/h2]
A playable tutorial has been added immediately after starting the game!
You can learn how to execute attacks, consecutive attacks, jumps, and Ultimates.
The tutorial is available both immediately after starting the game and from the home screen menu.
[h2]We’ve added a feature in private match spectator mode that lets you jump to a specific rank! (PC version only)[/h2]
In private match spectator mode (PC version only), pressing keys 1 to 5 on the keyboard allows you to jump between the spectator view of players ranked 1st through 5th.
Since this feature is designed as a hidden function only for the PC version—aimed at tournament commentary and interactive streams—there is no UI display for it.
[h2]Sands of Egypt Night Paaarty world will undergo renewal.[/h2]
The existing Sands of Egypt Night Paaarty world will undergo renewal.
Note: Worlds that undergo renewal will eventually become available again.
