Grub

Various different kinds of **grub** can be found in the world of Miitopia. The player can give their adventurers grub while resting at the Inn in the Eat Grub menu. Grub is collected from defeating monsters, winning the Roulette's blue segment prize (if it does not offer Experience), obtaining them from random chests, or encountering the Roaming Gourmet (who will always award three pieces of a special grub specific to the region). Certain quests at the Travelers' Hub can also reward grub, while guest party members can trigger random events rewarding grub as well. In the Nintendo Switch version, they can also be found during outing events as the "souvenir" bonus afterwards.

These foods can give various stat bonuses for the Mii characters. The effect is made greater or worse depending on how the Mii likes the grub given to them. There are 196 different kinds of grub.

* Most grub come in three varieties, with the rarer types being distinguished by the ★ icons after the name. Rarer versions boost the same stats but with a higher base boost (★ being roughly twice as strong as the base item, ★★ roughly 3 times). Some grub only have one version, but provide similar stat bonuses as a ★★ grub would anyway.
* The rarity system primarily determines the chances of obtaining rarer versions after killing a monster that drops it, or swiping it from one. Boss monsters tend to drop the ★★ version regardless, but some can still drop the more common ones if they are programmed to have a chance to drop.
* A Mii's reaction can be either Hates, Dislikes, Normal, Likes or Loves for each type of grub. Grub that is Disliked or Hated gives a lower boost to a stat, whereas grub that is Liked or Loved gives a greater boost than Normal.
* A Mii will not eat the same grub they Hate or Dislike more than once in a row during each time the player enters the Eat Grub menu. However, the player can leave and return immediately, or choose random, to make the Mii eat the exact same grub again.
* If a Mii likes, or dislikes a type of grub from a certain line they may not necessarily like or dislike other grub from the same line. For example a Mii may like common **Devil's Food Cake**, dislike **Devil's Food Cake** ★ and feel neutral towards **Devil's Food Cake** ★★.
* A Mii cannot eat with a full tummy. Attempting to feed a 75% or 80% full Mii with a grub that would fill up 80% of their tummy will also give the same result (refusal to eat).
* How much a Mii likes or dislikes a particular grub is based on the time of creation and facial features, making it basically random, but if the player has a particular Mii already made and said Mii has the Liked and Disliked grub already known, using the same Mii will result in he/she having the same Liked and Disliked grub in a new game or on other people's games.
* Mii characters have a set number of Hates, Dislikes, Normal, Likes, and Loves, meaning the player can not get every grub Liked/Loved or Hated/Disliked.
* The maximum amount of grub the player can store is 99 per grub.
* If a Mii is 75% or 80% full, they can still eat a grub that fills them to 50%. This is also true with being 50% full and eating an 80% grub.
* Some types of grub seem to be more commonly disliked than others, such as **BBQ Scorpion**. On the other hand, rare foods like **Cake** seem to be favored more.

A grub stat cannot decrease. If the stat boost would normally go down due to disliking the grub, it will stay at zero. A player can use this to their advantage to get extra stats from grub a Mii hates. If the player manages to get the stat bar to level up from a grub that a Mii hates, it will not go down as much. Grub stats are also entirely independent of job stats and will increase even if the Mii's current job does not actually benefit from the stat and/or has no natural stat gains in the same attribute. The maximum bonus in each stat from grub is 99, and any Mii can max out the bonus in every stat. The higher the stat bonus already is, the more food will be required to reach the next point.

## Trivia

* All grub types that have only one rarity are "Very Rare" and therefore have sparkles around their pictures.
* Certain grub have different names in different regions. They include:
	+ The Turkey Curry is known as "Chicken Curry" in the Japanese, European, and Oceania version.
	+ The Pixel Grub is known as "Digital Food" in the Japanese version.
	+ The Cotton Candy is known as "Cloudy Cotton Candy" in the Japanese version and as "Cloudyfloss" in the European and Oceania versions.
	+ The Rock Candy is known as "Petrified Chocolate" in the Japanese version.
	+ The Icy Mints are known as "Beauty Supplements" in the Japanese version.
	+ The Tenderized Tartare is known as "Hammer Tartare" in the Japanese, European, and Oceania versions.
	+ The Guitar Pick Nachos are known as "Plectrum Nachos" in the European and Oceania versions.
	+ The Alien Gummy Candy is known as "Alien Gummy Sweets" in the European and Oceania versions.
	+ The Baby Food is known as "Tiddler Food" in the European and Oceania versions.
	+ The Art Cookie is known as "Art Biscuit" in the European and Oceania versions.
* On the Grub section in the Journal, if the player presses the A button repeatedly, the food item will disappear and then will reappear when moved on to the next food item.
	+ When A is pressed, the sound effect played while a Mii is eating the item is played. A small fanfare is played when the food item has disappeared.
* A lot of the grub in the game are not only based off of the monsters they come from, but their increasing rarities are based off off increasingly tough variants of the monsters. Example: Basic Cactus Juice is green like Cacti Stacks, Cactus Juice ★ is yellow like Cactus Balls, and Cactus Juice ★★ is teal like Cactus Cools.
* The maximum amount of food the player can have at once is 19,404, albeit it would require extreme patience to gather 99 of every food item.
* Regardless of grub, if the "Random" button is pressed, the eating sound effect will always be that of the "Soft" kind reserved for grub like Slime Jellies, Mushroom Sauté, and other soft foods.
