When investigative journalist Nora Vale reopens a long-forgotten cooking game from her childhood, she expects nostalgia... not a heartbeat behind the code. Old save files appear that shouldn't exist. Customers remember her name. And the smiling chef on the title screen keeps waving, even after she closes the laptop. As Nora uncovers a string of disappearances tied to the vanished Papa's franchise, she realises the games never ended - they only moved somewhere deeper. Inside the code, the kitchens are still open. And no one ever really clocked out.

The Smash Convergence changed everything. The events of the last great Smash tournament-the battle between Galeem, Dharkon, Master Hand, Crazy Hand, and the warriors caught in their war-led to an irreversible collapse of the multiverse. Once separate worlds, realities, and timelines were forcibly merged, creating a singular universe-the Arcadia System. With it came Nintendus, the central hub of civilization, where warriors, nations, and entire planets adapted to a new existence. In the heart of this new world order, the United Nations of Nintendus (UNN) emerged, bringing together leaders and governing bodies to maintain balance in this unfamiliar reality. From its capital, New Donk City, diplomacy and competition shape the future, but politics alone cannot decide who reigns supreme. Recognizing the need for structure in this new age, visionary entrepreneur Pauline redefined competitive fighting, bringing warriors from across the gaming multiverse to form Smash Pro Fighters (SPF)-a revolutionary combat promotion that blends skill, spectacle, and storytelling like never before. No longer under Master Hand's chaotic rule, fighters now battle on the grandest stage in gaming sports entertainment. To introduce SPF to the world, Pauline launches SmashMania, the ultimate proving ground where legends are forged, rivalries explode, and warriors fight for supremacy. With stakes higher than ever, who will rise, who will fall, and who will become the face of this new era? Welcome to Smash Pro Fighters-where every fight tells a story.
