The Satiety System Explained
Each food has a satiety value (1–10 stars). This determines how full a Mii gets from eating it and how much happiness it provides. Foods with higher satiety values satisfy Miis for longer, meaning fewer feeding events.
| Satiety Level | Example Foods | Happiness Boost | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| ⭐ Low (1–3) | Fruits, drinks, light snacks | +10–15% | ~1 hour |
| ⭐⭐ Medium (4–6) | Sandwiches, noodles, salads | +20–30% | ~3 hours |
| ⭐⭐⭐ High (7–9) | Full meals, rice dishes, steaks | +35–50% | ~6 hours |
| ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Max (10) | Mii's favourite food only | +80–100% | Until next meal event |
How to Find Each Mii's Favourite Food
A golden (shimmering) food thought bubble means the Mii is dreaming about their favourite food. If you see it, buy that food immediately.
Occasionally a Mii will invite you to guess their favourite food. Correct guesses are saved permanently in the Mii's profile.
When you gift the favourite food, the Mii has a distinct rainbow-burst reaction and the food is permanently recorded as their #1 favourite.
Once discovered, the favourite food is shown in Mii Info (tap the Mii → info icon). Never needs to be discovered again.
