Gimmicks

Pokémon Café Mix's puzzles, much like its predecessors, include a variety of gimmicks that are implemented to alter gameplay and this time they have more intricate features

Each of these gimmicks typically appears around a specific dish, but they can mix and match so sometimes you'll get Caramel in a drink.
