It is Diner Dash 2: Restaurant Rescue(TM). The MAIN PURPOSE of this FAQ/Walkthrough is showing all the game technical facts. However, it also covers some strategy to beat this game that may be of some use to all of you, but I will reduce this part from now on since..it's almost the same with Diner Dash 1. This document is best viewed with the original display on the net, or with a word processor using fixed-width font style, such as courrier series or lucida console. Using some other font styles (example: Arial) will make the tables/maps displayed incorrectly. Lastly, some **** legal notice: This document is protected by copyright law and international copyright treaties. The old rules still apply, do not post it as your own, do not sell it for profit, etc... Ver. 1.00 -- 1/17/2007 Ver. 1.05 -- 5/5/2007 Ver. 1.07 -- 10/10/2007 Ver. Final -- 11/11/2008 Version 1.00 above are all minor updates. Sorry for the multiple finals ^____^ (Hehehehe) Global high score section added. If the developer fix the high score, probably there will be more update. CONTENTS A. Menu B. Rules C. General Tips D. Walkthrough E. Endless Shift F. FAQ G. Special Thanks +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ A. MENU +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1. Story Mode >> This is what the walkthrough is talking about. 2. Endless Shift >> See endless shift section. 3. Options >> You can only switch to windowed mode if you set the screen resolution to 1024x768. 4. How to Play >> If you're new to the series, you may look at this instruction. I'm sure it'll help a lot. 5. Screensaver >> This will install Diner Dash 2: Restaurant Rescue screensaver into your OS. If you install this game correctly (or have the correct screensaver EXE file), the levels will be added as much as the restaurants that you have unlocked. 6. High Scores >> You can view global high scores by connecting to the internet. (What's that 999999? After checking it again sometime later, this score DISAPPEARS!). This is one of the social diseases, so I hope good you do not do things like this..ok? Just make sure there's nothing that blocks the connection. .....I still say this anyway (for anyone who needs this advice): Please do NOT force yourself to get the global high score, you have a good chance to bore yourself to death. For this game, it's obvious that you can't get the highest score (even for the top 20 or 30), so you should forget about it quickly. 7. Change Player >> Reset the game from the beginning with another player name. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ B.

GENERAL TIPS +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This game is not harder (I mean it is easier) than Diner Dash 1, but it's more sophisticated. 1. Complete Diner Dash 1 first. This will save you A LOT OF stress when playing this game. 2. The issue has changed from the first game. From [How fast are you?] into [How do you handle all the tools correctly?] Many tips from Diner Dash 1 also apply here: 3. After the customers call you to pick their menu up or make out bills, run to them immediately in order to increase their happiness. 4. You do not need to chain very long now. Furthermore, many things will hinder you from long chaining. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ D. WALKTHROUGH +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The expert goal issue has changed. It comes closer to the goal target in this game. I think attaining the expert goal won't be a problem for you if you had finished Diner Dash 1. Getting the expert goal will result in unlocking the third decoration choice. If you fail to reach a goal, the game will give you a note. But now the note's different from Diner Dash 1 because it doesn't always give you an advice, but sometimes it will ask you to try again instead. I will also add some additional advices for some levels in order to make your game goes even more smoothly. %&%&%&%&%&%& DARLA'S CAFE %&%&%&%&%&%& You begin with a lousy cafe at some street corner. The more you make the progress, the more attractive your restaurant become. A. LEVEL 1 Goal: 100 pts. Expert goal: 500 pts. Difficulty: 0/10. Decoration change: None. Total tables: 3. Note from the game: Let's give it another shot. Additional advice: Still have trouble for this? Then go to your momma's tit. Er..well..you can activate the Diner Dash 2 screensaver. Quit to windows and play the screensaver. It will teach you how to complete this shift with the expert goal reached. ^__^ B. LEVEL 2 Goal: 1500 pts. Expert goal: 2500 pts. Difficulty: 1/10. Decoration change: Plants in the middle. Total tables: 8. Note from the game: Remember: seat the customers, take the order, deliver the food, drop the check, and clean the table. C.

Note from the game: To earn a bonus, seat customers in chairs that match the color of their outfits. D. LEVEL 4 Goal: 3500 pts. Expert goal: 5300 pts. Difficulty: 4/10. Decoration change: Table and chairs. Total tables: 12. Note from the game: Don't forget to bring a highchair over to the Families. And if the baby cries again, that means the table needs your attention. Additional advice: This game does not bring easiness to all of us at early levels because in fact, family is one of the most annoying group in this game. E. LEVEL 5 Goal: 5200 pts. Expert goal: 8000 pts. Difficulty: 6/10. Decoration change: Side plants. Total tables: 15. Note from the game: Remember: when you seat customers, try to arrange them so that they sit in matching colored chairs. Additional advice: This game starts to become harder especially to any of you that are new to the series. The line will be a lil' bit more crowded at the middle of this shift. F. LEVEL 6 Goal: 5000 pts. Expert goal: 7200 pts. Difficulty: 6/10. Decoration change: Awning. Total tables: 14.

Total tables: 17. Note from the game: Remember you can earn a bonus by chaining your actions, so try taking a bunch of orders in a row, or serve a couple food trays in a row. H. LEVEL 8 Goal: 6200 pts. Expert goal: 9000 pts. Difficulty: 7/10. Decoration change: Countertop. Total tables: 16. Note from the game: We'll have to move a little quicker to keep those business women happy! Additional advice: 3 types of difficult customers at such an early level..... But, I see that the business women are nicer than those in the first game. I. LEVEL 9 Goal: 7000 pts. Expert goal: 9500 pts. Difficulty: 7/10. Decoration change: Floor. Total tables: 17. Note from the game: I know we can do it! Additional advice: I said that family is a very annoying group, right? You will know why... J. LEVEL 10 Goal: 7500 pts. Expert goal: 10000 pts. Difficulty: 8/10. Decoration change: Vines. Total tables: 19. Note from the game: Nothing helpful, it is: "Oh so close! If we can just get through this shift, Darla will be able to send in the rent!" Additional advice: Don't try to chain for too long, just play it safe and you'll be fine completing this shift. %&%&%& TONY'S %&%&%& I want to make a little comment about the music of this restaurant. It is 100% the same with one of RE4 music. K. LEVEL 11 Goal: 4500 pts. Expert goal: 6200 pts. Difficulty: 6/10. Decoration change: None. Total tables: 13. Note from the game: Remember, Families don't mind noise so it's safe to seat them near those talkative Cellphone Addicts. Additional advice: Cell addicts are not very patient. They're on par with business women L. LEVEL 12 Goal: 5000 pts. Expert goal: 8000 pts. Difficulty: 6/10. Decoration change: Wall. Total tables: 14. Note from the game: Remember, if a table is getting annoyed by noise, cheer them up with a soda! M. LEVEL 13 Goal: 7800 pts. Expert goal: 9700 pts. Difficulty: 7/10. Decoration change: Fireplace. Total tables: 17. Note from the game: Remember, if a table is getting annoyed by noise, cheer them up with a soda! Additional advice: The seat placement is rather tricky. But this game has given you many enough tips for this situation. N. LEVEL 14 Goal: 8800 pts. Expert goal: 11000 pts. Difficulty: 6/10. Decoration change: Entrance. Total tables: 19. Note from the game: Don't forget to use the podium if customers get impatient in line. Additional advice: The podium is a great help. Using the podium will not obstruct chaining action. I mean the chaining counter will not reset to zero if you stand at the podium after chaining. O. LEVEL 15 Goal: 8000 pts. Expert goal: 10500 pts. Difficulty: 6/10. Decoration change: Table and chairs. Total tables: 18. Note from the game: Don't forget to use the podium if customers get impatient in line. P. LEVEL 16 Goal: 8500 pts. Expert goal: 10500 pts. Difficulty: 6/10. Decoration change: A pair of authentic Italian marble pillars. Total tables: 18. Note from the game: Keep a close eye on the Bookworms to make sure they're not getting too upset by other noisy tables. Additional advice: We already have 5(five) kinds of customers at such an early level. I said it already that this game is a complicated one. Never sit the bookworms next to cell addicts, even the drinks won't help the bookworm leaves your restaurant mad. Q. LEVEL 17 Goal: 8800 pts. Expert goal: 12000 pts. Difficulty: 6/10. Decoration change: Decoration over the doorway. Total tables: 19. Note from the game: Remember to use those highchairs and drinks to keep Families happy so the babies won't cry. Additional advice: You can lift two high chairs at once as long as there are two families who need them, but you can not carry two mops in your hands. Double-clicking the mop will make you carry and then put the mop again. It is possible to chain this action. R. LEVEL 18 Goal: 8500 pts. Expert goal: 10500 pts. Difficulty: 7/10. Decoration change: Awning. Total tables: 17. Note from the game: Remember, serving dessert is optional. If we're too busy, we can just drop the check instead. Additional advice: You can chain the dessert. Having many customers have at least 4/5 heart filled after they finish eating will make your pts go sky-high. S. LEVEL 19 Goal: 8500 pts. Expert goal: 12000 pts. Difficulty: 6/10. Decoration change: Counter. Total tables: 17. Note from the game: Remember, serving dessert is optional. If we need to clear out a table, just drop the check instead. T. LEVEL 20 Goal: 11000 pts. Expert goal: 14000 pts. Difficulty: 8/10. Decoration change: Shelf. Total tables: 22. Note from the game: None.. There is a bonus restaurant after this level (blimp). Rumor has it that the blimp is only accessible by getting MSN version of the game (M.I.). I can't get it, so I can't prove this by myself but, I have the script of the said bonus restaurant. %&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&% MARGARITA'S CANTINA %&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&% Okay, Margarita's Cantina is a bit harder. Every customer leaves your restaurant mad will cut your dearest pts by 750. Customers' color is also increased, as always. And enjoy the fancy music too. U. LEVEL 21 Goal: 4500 pts. Expert goal: 6000 pts. Difficulty: 7/10. Decoration change: None. Total tables: 14. Note from the game: Nothing special. V. LEVEL 22 Goal: 5000 pts. Expert goal: 6500 pts. Difficulty: 6/10. Decoration change: Wall. Total tables: 15. Note from the game: Remember, Joggers aren't bothered by noise, so they'll happily sit at any table. Additional advice: Jogger is a relief. It's recommended that you place them not at a cornered table. W. LEVEL 23 Goal: 6500 pts. Expert goal: 8000 pts. Difficulty: 7/10. Decoration change: Table and chairs. Total tables: 18. Note from the game: Try calling a different staff member on the phone to get some more help. Additional advice: Here is the preview of the staff members. They only help you temporarily, not until the closing hour: 1. Busser (top) => Clear the dishes for you, but you won't get any scores. 2. Drink server (middle) => Serve unlimited(!) ammount of drinks to unhappy customers. 3. Mariachi band (bottom) => Increase the patience of sitting customers. X. LEVEL 24 Goal: 6200 pts. Expert goal: 7200 pts. Difficulty: 7/10. Decoration change: Counter. Total tables: 15. Note from the game: Don't forget to use the phone to call in for help if you need it. Y. LEVEL 25 Goal: 8000 pts. Expert goal: 10000 pts. Difficulty: 10/10. Decoration change: Path. Total tables: 18. Note from the game: Remember to be careful about where you seat noisy customers. Additional advice: I think this level is the hardest of the entire game. Here is some strategy for those who need it, otherwise just don't look at it. Here is a simple table diagram. I can't post images (yet) so for people who is unsatisfied, pleas understand: -------------------------------- | ------- | | ------- | | | | | 1 | | 3 | | | ------- ------- | | | | ------- ------- ------- | | | | | | | | | | | 2 | | 4 | | 6 | | | ------- ------- ------- | | | | ------- | | | 5 | | | ------- | -------------------------------- ============================================================================ | Customer type | Chaining order | Table number | Another thing | ============================================================================ | Family | 1 | 3 | Bench (Optional) | | 2 Bookworms | 1 | 1/5 | | | 2 Bookworms | 1 | 1/5 | | | 4 Cell Addicts | 1 | 6 | | | 4 Joggers | 1 | 4 | | | Family | 2 | 3 | Bench (Optional) | | 4 Cell Addicts | 2 | 6 | | | 2 Bookworms | 2 | 1/5 | | | 4 Bookworms | 2 | 2 | | | 4 Cell Addicts | 3 | 6 | Bench + Drink | | Family | 2 | 4 | | | 2 Business Women | 2 | 1/5 | | | Phone mariachi band after clearing dishes | | 2 Bookworms | 3 | 1 | | | 4 Joggers | 3 | 4 | | | 2 Bookworms | 4 | Anywhere | Bench/Let him leave | | 2 Cell Addicts | 3 | 5 | | | 4 Business Women | 3 | 3 | | | 2 Young Ladies | 3 | 1/5 | | ============================================================================ Doing this successfully (which is reasonably hard) will bring you the shiny expert score. Z. LEVEL 26 Goal: 7500 pts. Expert goal: 9000 pts. Difficulty: 8/10. Decoration change: Festive wall decoration (Curtain for hard-earned expert score). Total tables: 16. Note from the game: Let's try it again. Additional advice: Now you can chain the snack request. But you shouldn't place your hope too high for this issue because snack request won't be often. This level is also quite difficult, but if you can pass level 25, you should also be able to pass this one. AA. LEVEL 27 Goal: 8500 pts. Expert goal: 10500 pts. Difficulty: 5/10. Decoration change: Handcrafted door. Total tables: 18. Note from the game: Let's give it another shot. Additional advice: Your aid has increased!

Total tables: 10. Note from the game: No help. Additional advice: I add a strategy for this shift eventually because this shift is rather different from the others.

We'll have to use the podium a few times to get through this shift! Additional advice: All seven types of customers have already appeared. No drink for tables annoyed by cell addicts can become some problem for you. AG. LEVEL 33 Goal: 7000 pts. Expert goal: 9000 pts. Difficulty: 6/10. Decoration change: Counter. Total tables: 19. Note from the game: Don't forget to keep your eye on the line, and use the podium if people get impatient. Additional advice: Nope. It's just an ordinary one. AH. LEVEL 34 Goal: 8500 pts. Expert goal: 10800 pts. Difficulty: 6/10. Decoration change: Table and chairs. Total tables: 22. Note from the game: Don't forget to use the phone to call for help if you need it. Additional advice: Many business types will come at this level. There is no mariachi band at this Japanese restaurant, a Japanese pop star (No, not Ayumi Hamasaki) will replace them. AI. LEVEL 35 Goal: 5000 pts. Expert goal: 6500 pts. Difficulty: 4/10. Decoration change: Fountain. Total tables: 17. Note from the game: Be careful if you seat Cellphone Addicts at the bar, they'll annoy customers seated one or two seats next to them.

Decoration change: Wall. Total tables: 17. Note from the game: O. AK. LEVEL 37 Goal: 6800 pts. Expert goal: 8300 pts. Difficulty: 5/10. Decoration change: Paper Lantern. Total tables: 18.

Decoration change: Handmade curtain. Total tables: 19. Note from the game: Don't forget to use the phone to call in for help if you need it.

Note from the game: S. Additional advice: Since many people have trouble with this shift, I decide to add some strategy to complete it. I, personally, think that this shift is not hard. So, below is just a light suggestion, no need to follow it carefully. -------------------------------- | ------- ------- | | 1| | | | ------- | | 2| | | 1 | | 2 | | | 3| B | ------- ------- | | 4| A | | | 5| R | ------- | | 6| | | | ------- | | 7| | | 3 | | | | | 8| | | | | 4 | | | ------- ------- ------- | -------------------------------- ====================================================== | Customer type | Chaining order | Table number | ====================================================== | 3 Business Women | 1 | BAR 6,7,8 | | 6 Young Ladies | 1 | 3 | | Family | 1 | 4 | | 4 Bookworms | 1 | 1 | | 2 Seniors | 1 | 2 | | 3 Joggers | 1 | BAR 3,4,5 | | 2 Cell Addicts | 1 | BAR 1,2 | | 6 Business Women | 2 | 3 | | 2 Young Ladies | 2 | 1 | | 3 Seniors | 2 | 4 | | 2 Bookworms | 3/4 | 4 | | 4 Cell Addicts | 2 | BAR 1,2,3,4 | | 1 Young Lady | 3 | 2 | | 2 Business Women | 2 | 2 | | 4 Cell Addicts | 2 | BAR 5,6,7,8 | | Phone hostess after serving the food | | 2 Joggers | 3 | BAR 1,2 | | 6 Seniors | 3 | 3 | | Family | 3 | BAR 3,4,5 | | 6 Young Ladies | 4 | 1 | | 2 Business Women | 3 | 1 | | Family | 3 | BAR 6,7,8 | ====================================================== %&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&% FLO'S SKYLIGHT LOUNGE %&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&% It's rather funny. Do you see them? Anyway, all people will dress formally. You can recognize their color only by seeing their hair. AO. LEVEL 41 Goal: 7500 pts. Expert goal: 9500 pts. Difficulty: 8/10. Decoration change: None. Total tables: 20. Note from the game: Remember, we're able to carry 4 things at once now that Mr. Big is helping us out. Additional advice: This shift should be somewhat difficult because you don't have the help of podium and staff members. Don't try to chain for too long, just try not to lose any tables and be sure to use all your hands and Mr. Big's hands to handle all the dishes. AP. LEVEL 42 Goal: 8000 pts. Expert goal: 11000 pts. Difficulty: 6/10. Decoration change: Bar display. Total tables: 22. Note from the game: E. Additional advice: Long chaining is easier since you can carry 4 things at once. AQ.

Total tables: 19. Note from the game: We'll have to use the podium a few times to keep that long line of customers happy. Additional advice: 4x click the dessert or the snack will result in carrying four of them at once. Better to sit the cell addicts at top right table with family or joggers near them. AS. LEVEL 45 Goal: 9500 pts. Expert goal: 12000 pts. Difficulty: 5/10. Decoration change: Lighting fixture. Total tables: 23. Note from the game: We'll have to be extra careful about where we seat Cellphone Addicts. Additional advice: No jogger or family means no noise reductor for the cell addicts, but the entertainer (in this restaurant, it is the pianist) will solve that problem. AT. LEVEL 46 Goal: 11500 pts. Expert goal: 17000 pts. Difficulty: 5/10. Decoration change: Table and chairs. Total tables: 25. Note from the game: Don't forget to call in for help if you need it. AU. LEVEL 47 Goal: 11500 pts.

Decoration change: Flooring design. Total tables: 23. Note from the game: It might be helpful to call in the hostess. Additional advice: A diner Dash 2 "trap shift", but it won't be as troublesome as Diner Dash 1 since you have staff members as your aide and the customers don't ask a lot of snacks. AW. LEVEL 49 Goal: 12500 pts. Expert goal: 16500 pts. Difficulty: 5/10. Decoration change: Elevator. Total tables: 29. Note from the game: Let's give it another shot.

Decoration change: Staircase. Total tables: 31. Note from the game: If you are diligent at seeking the notes, you can begin to collect the words.. (Someone's idea has been plagiarized?, hahaha..) Finishing this level will conclude the storyline. Then the credit rolls. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ E. ENDLESS SHIFT +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Endless shift offers you endless stream of customers in your already-decorated restaurant.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Here are some noticed questions from Playfirst and Gamefaqs message board. 1. Q: I'm stuck at [some some] level. A: See walkthrough section. 2. Q: How can I unlock the bonus level at the blimp? A: The MSN version (M.I.) 3. Q: I want an activation code. A: .......maybe Gamefaqs will moderate my FAQ/Walkthrough if I post it here. ^__^ But if you're serious, I'm sure you will be able to figure it out another way. 4. Q: This game slows down. I'm at level 10/20/30/40/50. Why? A: Change? Now, the longer you play the game, the more memory the CPU uses. It's wise to free the physical memory at least, by 120 MB for this game to run smoothly. Decoration only affects a little. Someone asked me: 5. Q: I decide to play the Endless Shift. What is your recommendation for the upgrade? A: If you want to score as many as possible, podium, radio and energy bars are very important to upgrade at first. Only if you try the Hard Mode, the first thing you should upgrade is a new table. 6. Q: Hi. I find your FAQ to be very helpful. When will you write the FAQ for Diner Dash: Flo on the Go? A: If things are fine enough, this will be done. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ G.
