Starr Park has done it again. In July 2026, Supercell dropped the NanoNoodles Brawl Pass, Season 52, and it is exactly as ridiculous as the name suggests. What could possibly go wrong when a competitive arena gets a bowl of ramen and a swarm of friendly nanobots? Apparently, a full season of cosmetics, keys, vaults, and enough neon to make a cyberpunk raccoon jealous. The NanoNoodles season is now live, and players are already either delighted, confused, or both.
The update brings the NanoNoodles Brawl Pass, which includes two skin sets, the NanoPowered player title, and a fresh Vault system. Season 52 is not just about looking fancy. It also introduces Keys and a Vault, NanoPowers that supercharge Brawlers, and two new game modes: Cooking Combat and Food Fight. Because why settle for ordinary brawling when someone can toss a frying pan into a cybernetic food war? Also joining the family is Nori, the firstborn of Kenji and Kaze, which means the Brawl Stars lore is now expanding in directions nobody predicted.
Two Skin Sets, One Very Busy Wardrobe
Brawl Stars now provides two Brawl Pass skins per season, and Starr Nova brings two skin sets as well. Set 1 includes Master Mico, Fire Master Mico, and Earth Master Mico. Set 2 offers Cyberpunk Jae-yong, Nano Jae-yong, and Choom Jae-yong skins, along with the NanoPowered player title. That is six skins, multiple chromas, and a title that sounds like a smartphone battery setting.
The Vault, Keys, and the End of Easy Skin Shopping
The new Vault is the centerpiece of the NanoNoodles pass. Players can use four types of Keys to unlock Buffies, Resources, Brawlers, and Skins from the Vault. They can even exchange Keys for previous Brawl Pass skins, such as last month's Brawl Strikers sets. That is either generous or a clever way to make old cosmetics feel new again. After reaching tier 50, players receive random rewards instead of Starr Drops as tail rewards. Surprise mechanics? In a Supercell game? Shocking.
One important catch: Brawl Pass skins can now only be obtained from the Vault. So anyone hoping to simply unlock a skin by grinding the pass may need to adjust their expectations. The Vault giveth, and the Vault maketh players squint at their Key inventory.
Standard Pass vs. Brawl Pass Plus
What do players actually get for their money? Quite a lot, depending on which pass they choose. The Standard Pass costs $8.99 and includes 9,500 Coins, 2,500 Power Points, 2,500 Credits, 3,200 Bling, 50 Gems, a Pin Set, a Title, a Player Icon, a Spray, and one of a Skin, Brawler, and Resource Key.
The Brawl Pass Plus costs $12.99 and offers 12,500 Coins, 400 Power Points, 2,500 Credits, 4,700 Bling, 150 Gems, the usual extras, two of each Key, one Buffie Key, and an instant 20% progress boost. Yes, the Power Point number looks like it wandered into the wrong spreadsheet, but that is what the pass advertises. Players who want both skin sets will likely need the Plus version. Those who are fine with one set can stick with the Standard Pass and use the Skin Key wisely.
| Pass | Price | Coins | Power Points | Credits | Bling | Gems | Key Highlights |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Brawl Pass | $8.99 | 9,500 | 2,500 | 2,500 | 3,200 | 50 | 1 Skin Key, 1 Brawler Key, 1 Resource Key, Pin Set, Title, Player Icon, Spray |
| Brawl Pass Plus | $12.99 | 12,500 | 400 | 2,500 | 4,700 | 150 | 2 of each Key, 1 Buffie Key, instant 20% progress |
Should Players Buy It?
Here is the honest answer: it depends. The free rewards have been buffed again, so players who spend nothing will still be fine. Those who want a little extra should consider the normal Brawl Pass, since the Skin Key can unlock one of the two sets. Only players who absolutely need both skin sets should buy the Brawl Pass Plus. Otherwise, the Plus pass is for completionists, cyberpunk enthusiasts, and people who cannot resist a limited-time title.
As for the aesthetic, the NanoNoodles season leans hard into two flavors: traditional Japanese-style vibes and full cyberpunk neon. If that sounds appealing, the pass is probably worth it. If not, the free track still exists, and nobody is forcing anyone to buy a noodle-themed battle pass. Well, nobody except the Vault. The Vault is always watching.
One tiny complaint: a different Brawler probably should have received the Cyberpunk skin set instead of Jae-yong. Jae-yong already has a strong identity, and giving the cyberpunk treatment to someone else could have been more interesting. Still, Supercell clearly knows its audience. Players who love glowing implants, ramen references, and chaotic new modes like Cooking Combat and Food Fight will find plenty to chew on.
So, is the NanoNoodles Brawl Pass a delicious success or a half-cooked experiment? That depends on whether players enjoy opening Keys, managing Vault rewards, and watching Mico become a master of fire, earth, and presumably noodles. One thing is certain: Starr Park has never been stranger, and in 2026, that is saying something.
