As you take part in Meatball Brawls and start to beat the competition, you begin to grow in standing en route to becoming Top Chef!
Eventually Rosso, in collaboration with Mami, will place a board outside the Nani TV Studios which shows your current standing and who’s currently at the top of the leaderboard in KuloNiku.
The only way to get there is by beating the competition, one by one, in order to prove your culinary quality.
But be careful, a defeat can send you back down a peg or two! So make sure you only take part when your skills are as sharp as your chopping knife.
Some faces you’ll recognise on the leaderboard from seeing them out and about, like Stella and the Souper Starz, whereas others are characters you haven’t met, and aren’t ready to face yet.
It’s a good reminder of how far you’ve come. But equally, how far you still have left to climb.
