This morning, Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) announced that the Dookey Dash game is returning and launching a new "Toad Mode".

For "N/A" Sewer Pass holders who did not participate in the first round of the game or had their scores reset due to cheating, this game will be their last chance - after the game ends, Sewer Passes without rankings will not be eligible to participate in "Summoning" starting on March 8, 2023. According to Opensea data, as of now, there are a total of 1232 N/A users, accounting for nearly 5%.

Here's a brief introduction to the game rules. The basic gameplay of Frogger mode is the same as the first round of Dookey Dash (just like "Temple Run"). Players need to manipulate the game character to avoid or break through obstacles, and collect different level fragments that drop along the way. The longer the game lasts, the more obstacles are hit, the more fragments are collected, and the higher the rarity of the fragments, the higher the final total score.

There is one difference, which is that the Toad mode adds more flashing elements to the screen. In addition, the Toad mode adds new gameplay on top of the regular mode:

From 00: 30 to 01: 05, players will automatically enter "Toad Mode" state, which is an all-powerful state that can ignore any obstacles. Players need to collect fragments that fall along the way as much as possible and hit the appearing toads (i.e. "lick toads") to get higher scores. There are four levels of toads: rare (30 PIS), epic (50 PIS), legendary (100 PIS), and mythical (150 PIS). After 01: 05, the game returns to normal state and toads will no longer appear.

Record the score at the end of each game and rank the scores based on user performance. After the game ends, players will have two scores: one is the score for licking toads (PTS), and the other is the regular game score without "licking toads" (TPS). The ultimate reward for the game is that the top 500 players on the regular score leaderboard can obtain an additional attribute for their power source; the top 2000 players on the "licking toads" leaderboard can also obtain an additional attribute for their power source. If there are duplicates on the leaderboard, the next player in line will be selected to ensure that every player has a chance.

One thing to note is that players who have already obtained a ranking in the previous game lock cannot refresh their records and improve their rankings through the Toad mode. For example, if Azuma ranked 20,000 in the previous game, his ranking in the energy source will still be 20,000 after the Toad mode, but he can unlock additional attributes of the energy source through new game rankings.

Additionally, for Sewer Pass holders with an N/A game level in the first round, after the end of the Toad mode game, the ranking of Power Source that non-zero level users can obtain is lower than that of non-zero users in the first round. For example, Xiaomin did not participate in the first round of the game (N/A), and ranked 25,000th in the last round of the game; even if Xiaomin is the first in both rankings of the Toad mode, the ranking of the Power Source obtained is still 25,001st, but Xiaomin can unlock additional attributes for the Power Source.

If Xia Qin chooses to lie flat and not participate in this game, then in the end, Xia Qin will be assigned an "Unranked" energy source with the lowest rarity, and will also lose the opportunity to participate in the next round of the game.

This Toad mode will start on February 23 and end on March 1. After the game is over, it will be reviewed, and players need to keep their Sewer Pass until March 8. At that time, all eligible Sewer Pass holders can participate in the summoning, burn the held NFT, and mint an energy source - a brand new NFT, which is also a voucher for participating in the next round of the game. Keeping the Sewer Pass without participating in the summoning has no benefits and may be worthless in the future.
