Spino Blaster
In Spino Blaster, you will control special water cannon to complete some marksmanship challenges by shooting Target Balls. There will be different types of Target Balls with different effects; however, stay clear of the blue-colored Brouhaha Balls, as they will deduct your points and will end your current combo. Get the required points to unlock rewards like Primogems, Mora, and more.

It is a special speed trial mode in which you will have to reach the destination within the given time period by controlling Barking Fox while collecting as many Adventure Coins as you can. However, make sure to dodge Sleetdross Fruits and Disruptor Orbs, as they will decrease the time left to complete the trial.
Dance of Flashing Thought
In this gameplay mode, you will have to defeat enemies to get Honed Will, and once the bar is full, you will get Honed Focus which will buff your combat ability. Get the required score to get multiple rewards.
Bing-Bang Finchball
This is a tabletop game mode in which you will have to shoot Finchballs, and based on which area it stops, you will get points, with Red Zone awarding the highest. Score the required number of points to earn rewards.
