A QnA at one of Devsisters' meetups stated that the original Friendly Run would return with improvements. Whether or not future event releases were the improvement is unclear.

Mechanics

In Friendly Run, the goal is for both players to stay alive and work together for as long as possible to score well, as well as attempting to achieve perfect runs during certain segments of the mode where the game asks the players to perform to the best of their abilities.

During its first release, Friendship Badge Pouches could be picked up on the course, which could be used in the Friendly Run exclusive Friendship Badge Exchange for various Cookies, Chest Keys, Magic Powder, Treasure Draw Tickets, and Rescue Tickets, among other things. There were also two exclusive Treasures that could only be obtained from this area, Firm Friendship Ring and True Friendship Pendant. Both of these Treasures have since expired and are no longer functional and the Friendship Badge Exchange has been replaced in favor of giving players a list of missions to complete for rewards.

Friendship Levels

To calculate a given Friendship Level, multiply both players' Cookie levels as follows.

Common	Rare	Epic	Legendary
x1	x2	x3	x10

These are examples of level 5 paired Cookies.

	Common	Rare	Epic	Legendary
Common	10	15	20	55
Rare	15	20	25	60
Epic	20	25	30	65
Legendary	55	60	65	100
