Noodle selection
.noodle selects native Mania charts dominated by hold notes, with meaningful held time and relatively few tap objects. It is a narrower composition choice than LN, which can include mixed tap/hold charts.

Usage
.noodle .noodles .style noodle .style noodle technical .variety
Noodle can combine with existing patterns. Rice and Noodle cannot be selected together; an invalid request keeps the previous preference. Use .variety to return to the broader pool.
Strict and bounded matches
Strict Noodle requires at least 65% hold objects and 10% normalized held-time coverage. When strict fresh choices run out, bounded fallback still requires at least 50% hold objects and 6% held-time coverage. Missing or invalid evidence is rejected. These are heuristic composition limits, not a guarantee about a chart's subjective difficulty or PP return.
Small pools and fallback
Strict fresh choices come first. Weaker qualifying hold charts can follow, but the composition boundary remains mandatory even when a combined pattern is scarce. Fallback does not turn Noodle into Rice or unrestricted Variety.
The bot avoids the last ten played or skipped rounds and maps already current/queued when possible. If the entire bounded eligible pool is exhausted, its oldest available map can repeat. In the initial configured 3.0–4.0-star, 45–150-second 7K baseline, only two strict / eight including fallback maps qualify; a wider range can help. See the dated availability analysis.
Difficulty, length, pass count, age and native key mode remain unchanged. Converts are not Noodle fallback. If no qualifying maps fit, the previous preference is kept. Existing quiet fallback behavior is retained; a single Noodle pool label can show (relaxed).
