The Pallet Game is found on the ground floor of the Akuda Bar. Players can compete for Units or just for fun.
Objective of the Game[]
Each player starts off with four pallets on their side, with a wall with a curved opening in the middle between each player's area. The player must launch all pallets, their own and their opponent's, onto their opponent's side. The player will have control of one pallet at a time, and must point it towards the opening using the analogue sticks, and shoot it in order to try and get it in their opponent's side. This is repeated until all pallets are in the other side. However, the opponent, Francis, will also attempt to shoot his pallets into your side, and so you must race against him and any pallets he launches, to clear your side, and vice versa for your opponent. Whoever gets rid of all pallets from their side and into their opponents side wins the round. Each game consists of three rounds, so the first player to win two rounds wins.

Trivia[]
- Francis wears his lucky Pearl on his hoop hat.
- If you bet 100 and win multiple times, Francis will state that he's out of credit and will not bet 100 again for a while.
- If not playing against an opponent, Francis will be practicing against the game's computer program.
- If you do not have enough Units to bet 100, Francis will say "You gotta have a minimum of units, doll." and if you do not have enough to bet 1000 against the pearl he will say "Ah...I don't take credit."
- Despite playing with 'Pallets' according to Francis, the HD Edition achievement 'Gamble King 2' says "Win 3 times in the pellet game against Francis". Both names for the game are likely feasible.
- The pallets that are being played with have a symbol similar to the Alpha Sections logo on them, excluding the lightning bolts.
- The Pallet Game is similar to Air Hockey but there are more pucks to hit and there are no 'goals' on the player's side of the table for the pucks to enter.
