Super Hero Cooking Contest
Two characters race through the same cake recipe against each other.
A contest framing on an otherwise standard recipe, and the framing changes how it plays. You pick one of two characters, and both of you work through the same cake at the same time — so every step you dawdle on is a step your rival gets ahead by.
The recipe itself is not complicated: batter, oven, cream, decorate. The pressure comes from the split screen, and it is real pressure rather than a countdown clock, because the pace is set by something that is actually moving rather than by a number falling.
The decorating stage is where the contest is decided and where it is also least fair — speed wins, and a rushed finish beats a careful one. Read that as a design choice about what a contest rewards, not as an accident.

Tips & Tricks
Pick a decorating plan before the oven stage ends. The finish is where the contest is won, and deciding what to do while the timer runs is the slowest possible way to spend it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do both characters make the same cake?
Yes. The contest is a race through one recipe, with your rival working in parallel.
Is speed the only thing that matters?
Largely, yes — the decorating stage rewards finishing first rather than finishing neatly.
