🌟 Food Fighter Van Mode 🌟

The main goal of Foo Fighters is to tour the US and foil the Overlord’s devious plans. This is done by completing van modes.

Qualify for the van by spelling V-A-N via the white shots. For your first mode, you only need to hit one white shot. The number of shots increase by one for the next time and three by the third.

You know you’ve qualified for the mode by the lit up van in front of the left ramp. Shoot the ramp and choose a city to start your mode.

Each mode is separated out by different US cities. You get 50 seconds to complete your mode but you get added time each time you make progress in your mode. If you drain your ball before completing your mode, don’t worry, the van will be waiting for you without needing to re-qualify.

Complete 3+ cities and you’ll have a wizard mode waiting for you. Give it a try!
