The main map of Sushi Belt starts with sushi. But while making the game, one question kept coming back: if this belt were turning in another country, what would be riding on it? World Tour grew out of that question.
The first idea: 12 countries
The first plan was small: a mode separate from the main map, with a short group of levels for each country. The belt would serve that country's dishes, and the guests and backdrop would match. The list had Türkiye, Italy, Mexico, Korea, China, India, France, the USA, the Philippines, Brazil, Spain and Thailand.
Then the list grew
After the first try, the gaps were obvious: no Russia, no Saudi Arabia, no Greece… The list grew to 43 countries, and instead of one dish each we decided to give every country several dishes that really tell its cuisine. In the end, 195 dishes were drawn in the game's own style.
Building the menus with respect
Putting 43 cuisines on one belt is fun, but it needs care. So the menus follow a few simple rules:
- Yogurt, ayran, Turkish tea and baklava appear only on Türkiye's belt.
- Dishes with pork never appear on the menus of Muslim-majority countries.
- Russian and Ukrainian dishes never mix into each other's menus.
- Every country's dishes come with its flag, its stamp and its postcard.
Stamps, postcards and "Did you know?"
When you finish a country, its stamp goes into your passport and you earn a postcard. On the back of the postcard is a short fact about that country. World Tour is deliberately calm and easy: the point is to travel, not to struggle. Finishing a country with a single star is enough to open the next one.
You can see every country and its dishes on the World cuisines page. If you think a dish is missing or something is wrong, write to us; we are happy to fix it.
