Arcade Mode

Arcade Mode is one of the three main modes in Fruit Ninja. In this mode, the player must slice as many fruits as they can in 1 minute, while avoiding the purple bombs. Blitz and Bonus Bananas appear in this mode. A Pomegranate will appear at the end of each match before the bonus screen. Dragon Fruit can appear in this mode as well.

Fruit Ninja Frenzy also allows Smoothies. The player can buy power-ups from the shop to help improve their scores. This mode could not be played in early versions of iOS versions of Fruit Ninja Free (Now simply known as Fruit Ninja®), but it could be played in version 1.8.8 and onward.

In Fruit Ninja 2, the player can use power ups they've earned to assist in increasing their scores. These power ups are not the same as Fruit Ninja's, as rather than being a one round use they can be used infinitely with only a minor cooldown.

While most rounds cost nothing to play, game modes like Arcade Rumble require golden apple tickets per each round.

Bananas
There are three types of Special Bananas, which each last about eight seconds. But this time increases when slicing another Banana, which can chain the effects.


 * 1) Frenzy - This banana spawns continuous streams of fruit from both sides of the screen allowing for easy points without the threat of bombs.
 * 2) Freeze - This banana pauses the timer and slows down the gameplay, allowing you to easily chain combos. (Unless Ice Blade is used)
 * 3) Double points - This banana doubles the number of points you obtain for a short period of time.

Triple Points - When the Princess Blade is equipped, the Double Points (2x) Become Triple Points (3x) and triples the number of points when you slice the fruit or combos.

Bonuses
At the end of every game, you get three different point bonuses added to your score (the three highest point bonuses you've earned), each between 5 and 100 points. If you met less than 3 conditions which allow for a bonus, a Tasty Fruit, Fruit Mix, Fruit Salad, Juicy Slicing, or Delicious Fruit will substitute it, at the minimum possible at 5 points. Currently, it is unknown how many there truly are.

Leaderboard
At the end of each round in Fruit Ninja 2, each score after the first is evaluated. If the score is higher than before, that will override the previous score on the leaderboard. If it is less than or equal to the score, nothing will happen. Each level of the leaderboard receives a reward at the end of the events duration. Even those who have not played in the event will earn a reward, though it will be lesser than those in the higher tiers.
