Meat Buns

"Those buns look delicious... whoever they are."

- Agent XIII Meat Buns are a distracting item in MadWorld.

They resemble a bunch of steaming nikuman, which are a type of Japanese dumplings filled with meat. They are served on a wooden tray.

Involvement in the Jefferson Island DeathWatch games
Meat Buns appear in the Great Wall Street in Asian Town and on the second floor of Casino Land's Tower. Thus, they are used against Sum Yung and Ninjas. Even Yee Fung will run towards them, and try to scoop up as many of them as possible with his forearms. However, Tengu will ignore them completely.

When their tray is picked up and thrown, the Meat Buns scatter around the place of impact. This causes the enemies to dash towards them and even fight each other, completely ignoring Jack.

The effect of the Meat Buns lasts for about 15 seconds and is independent of how many enemies are eating them. The effect will not trigger if they are dropped, like when taking damage while carrying it.

A recommended strategy is to throw Meat Buns into a group of people and finish them off with an Explosive Drum for many points. This works even better when they are close to a hazard.

Trivia
