Food is a key item that can be used to feed Miis in Tomodachi Collection and Tomodachi Life, obtained from the Food Mart or received as a reward from Miis. In a Mii's apartment, their hunger status will be displayed on the top screen. Each food item has a hunger value, and a Mii will not accept food that would fill their stomach above maximum capacity. Likewise, they will not eat the same food item twice in a row.

It is very often that a Mii will request food as one of their problems. A Mii's stomach will drop over time as the game is played. Miis do not need to be fed to survive and can go on indefinitely without food. The purpose of food is to gain levels. Additionally, feeding food they like will calm the Mii down when they are in a fight or sad. Large foods will give more happiness than the average food item.

Miis sometimes request specific food as a problem, including drink, food from a specific country/region (e.g. Italian, Asian), or those of any flavor (e.g. Salty, meaty, sweet). When the Mii receives the kind of food they requested, their reaction will always be "[He/She] loved it!" If the Mii receives food other than the one they requested, their reaction will often be lower, yet feeding them the non requested food will still solve the problem. No matter how much a Mii dislikes a food, they will always eat what the player feeds them, unless they have eaten that food recently or have a stomach bug.

Preferences[]

Miis have different preferences for foods. In Collection, Miis will have an All-Time Favorite food and a Worst food. In Life, there is an additional Super All-Time Favorite food and Worst Ever food added to each Mii. Their two most favorite foods will instantly get rid of their sadness or calm them from a fight.

Turns gray and melts to the floor with a very shocked face as dramatic music plays, showing that it is their worst food ever. All happiness will be lost, but their level will not decrease. This is absent in Tomodachi Collection.

In addition to those extreme reactions, a list of three "Favorite Foods" is displayed, consisting of the top three foods that Mii likes most out of everything else they have tried. All food preferences are fixed even among different players sharing a Mii through QR Codes, but the favorite foods list will change as the Mii tries new things and discovers better favorite ones.

When a Mii is given a food item that is not one of the favorite/worst foods, the Mii will either do the following:

Jump up into the air fist-first, showing a very high amount of satisfaction. Happiness increases significantly. You will also earn more money than usual. Really liked it
[He/She] really liked it! (NTSC)
[He/She] liked it a lot! (PAL)
Happily pat their belly with one hand, showing they really liked the food. Happiness increases. You’ll earn an average amount of money. Liked a lot
[He/She] liked it. (NTSC)
[He/She] liked it a little. (PAL)
Pat their belly slowly with both hands while leaning back, showing they liked the food. Happiness increases slightly and you’ll earn some money. Liked
[He/She] didn't really like it. (NTSC)
[He/She] didn't like it. (PAL)
Frown and tilt their head, showing that they did not like the food. Happiness stays the same, and this food won't appear in "Favorite Foods". You also don’t receive any money.
Didntreallylikeitreaction
[He/She] didn't like it at all. (NTSC)
[He/She] didn't like it much...(PAL)
Hold their belly in disgust (trying not to throw it up), showing they disliked the food. Some of their happiness will decrease. This food will not appear in "Favorite Foods". You won’t receive money. Didn't like it at all TL

Giving Miis special food will always result in a very positive gesture from them, which shows them happier than the jumping gesture. The Mii also says something related to the food they consumed. However, this will not appear in Food list.

Types of Foods[]

Food is separated into 4 categories: Main Dish, Side Dish, Sweets, and Drinks. Each have an effect on how the Mii reacts to the food, the possibility of them liking it, and how much it fills their stomach. Throughout the various regional varieties, there are various foods not present in other versions, such as various Japanese dishes in the Japanese version of the game.

Trivia[]

  • Like other certain problems, the player can tell if a Mii is hungry without clicking on the problem bubble due to different background music.
  • If the player gives a food that is All-time favorite or Super All-time favorite to a Mii who has a cold, instead of giving them a cold medicine, the Mii will be healed.
  • When a Mii eats food at the Café or BBQ, the food there will not count in the fullness bar. It is even possible for a Mii to come back hungry after they got back from the Café.
  • Miis will sometimes feed themselves, in which the player can check their stomach to see what food they ate. It can be anything, even a Ruined Meal or their worst ever.
  • It is possible that any food can be one of the Mii's all-time favorite and worst, even birthday cake and except Trash Food. There are some foods that seem to be more common for all-time favorite and worst ones.
  • Some food items will emit steam.
  • The reaction for Super All-time and All-time favorite can be skipped but the reaction for Worst and Worst ever cannot be skipped.
  • Special foods are the same as normal foods except the food cannot appear as a favourite item, the mii will have a very positive gesture and will say something related to the food which was eaten.
