Use the arrows on your keyboard to move your Iron Chef around Kitchen Stadium. As your two sous chefs toss various ingredients into the air, you must catch them on your plate. Your plate must then be delivered to the judge's table to get those points added to your total score. Keep in mind, the more ingredients you catch, the slower you'll move. Watch the shadow and the highlight that is cast on the ground from the falling ingredients. It will help you figure out where each ingredient will land. Missed ingredients are frowned upon. The red knives in the upper left corner show your misses. Five misses and your game is over. At the start of every game, a unique "secret ingredient" will be announced. During the game, it will be highlighted by stars and worth more points than other ingredients. Watch out for burnt ingredients! They are black and smoking. If you catch one, you'll spill the ingredients on your plate and ruin your dish.
