Super Shop also shows up in Story Mode sometimes and eventually, you'll have the option to purchase the coffee machine in Story Mode as an upgrade to have for each level. You can't buy upgrades, but rather they appear for you to click on and will be something temporary like all shelves being refilled or Super Shop, where the customers buy an entire shelf of whatever item, or a cup of coffee that makes Nikki super fast. If you'd rather not play on Story Mode, there's also Endless Mode, were you simply last as long as you can. It's a really funny audio cue, but one you don't want to hear too often. If a customer sits too long waiting for you to refill a shelf, their patience runs out and their meter (which begins as a happy face) turns red and angry, they finally throw their items on the floor in a crash and huff and leave the store, costing you money and making you clean up after them. Since you'll hear a bell when someone enters the store and you'll see a thought bubble above them with what they want to purchase, its a good strategy to wait to see what the first few customers want, fill those bins, then reload your basket, since all shelves start a level off empty.Īs customers mill about, they spill things and Nikki has to pick them up and throw them away, but she can pick up several at once before dumping them off. You can only fill so many shelves with a basketload of goods, so you'll have to run to the storeroom to reload, which takes time. The name of the game is pleasing your customers and you do this by keeping the shelves filled with merchandise and keeping the store clean. I had a cold while I was playing this game and my coughing had Barefist blowing his whistle a lot. You can also shout at the microphone to get him to act. Fortunately, you've got Officer Barefist standing by and if the teen girls get out of hand or you see a thief stealing, a simple tap on him and he'll blow the whistle, restoring order and, sometimes, getting your goods and some money back out of the thief. You'll even have thieves who come to steal your goods. You'll have visiting celebrities from time to time and they'll be super demanding and buy everything in a particular bin, so be sure to stay well stocked when you know they are coming. You'll have customers ranging from the patient old lady to the average young woman, to the hurried yuppie and even the annoying teenaged girl who runs through your store, knocking things over and forcing you to clean up after her. There are 5 Stages, with each containing levels totaling 50 in all. Clarence, an elderly store owner who needs some young and energetic new blood to kick start his business. What's a girl to do? Well, she and her friend Wendy (also fired) band together and find Mr. Torg wants to run everything with robotics), only to be fired unjustly, in lieu of robots performing her job. In Supermarket Mania, you play as Nikki, who gets a job at the Torg Corporation (where Mr. Here, you can tell exactly what the customer is looking for and, while the store sometimes gets crowded with a ton of customers, you can still easily get things done. I remember Cake Mania 2 on the DS not being as good in this department and not being able to progress in the game because I couldn't tell one cake topper from the other. Nice little touches like this add a lot to the experience.Įverything looks good in Supermarket Mania and being able to distinguish items on a screen this small is critical. As for sound effects, there's a bell chime when a customer enters the store, and a loud and angry crash when you have exhausted a customer's patience and they throw their groceries to the ground before storming out. I love this little ditty and it's a great cue to let you know when you need to be on your toes, in case the celeb sneaks in without you noticing them. ![]() While there isn't any voice acting, you do have a selection of sound effects that really get the point across and certain music kicks into gear when a celebrity visits the store. ![]() It's quite excellent and enjoyable and I'm even listening to the menu music on my DSi as I write this. You can hear piano, violin and some synth-y stuff too. ![]() Even with the DSi's little bitty speakers, the upbeat and fun theme music comes through loud and clear. Having just come off the heels of reviewing Supermarket Mania 2 on the PC, I can say that Supermarket Mania on the DS sounds pretty darn good. ![]()
