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 or Dragon Fruit will appear at the end of each match before the Bonus points. A similar game to Arcade Mode is Fruit Ninja Frenzy, which allows a unique kind of powerup, called Smoothies. The player can buy them from the shops to be granted special abilities that boost their scores.
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.
Bonus Bananas
Occasionally, fruit waves will spawn Bonus Bananas in replacement of regular bananas, which each have their own enhancements to the gameplay, each lasting about seven seconds.
Frenzy - Continuously spawns swarms of fruits from the left and right of the screen, making it an easy chance for racking up points, especially if the player slices fruit combos.
Freeze - Drastically slows down the speed of which the fruits are thrown in, and even pauses the timer. Using the Ice Blade further eases the difficulty of chaining Combos, as more fruit appears during Freeze.
Double Points - Pauses the regular score tally from escalating and adds a double-point counter instead, in which the score accumulated is then multiplied by two and added to the normal score after the special banana stops.
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.
Special Powers
The powers of these blades and dojos affect your gameplay in the Arcade mode.
Princess Blade
When you use Princess Blade, the double points banana becomes triple points and multiplies your score by three and adds it to your overall score when it stops.

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.
