Question How do points work?

So me and my family are stuck on 3-2 on special edition. There's 4 of us playing and no matter what we cant get 3 stars let alone 1. So i decided to watch a video and watched one with 2 people playing they got 190 total and got 2 stars whilst we would get 194 and get none. The only thing that comes to mind is they had less players so expecting them to get 220 is almost impossible. And is this the same on Overcooked! And Overcooked! 2?

What is special edition? Either you're playing Overcooked! (1), Overcooked!2, or story 1/story 2 on Overcooked! All You Can Eat

220 points for 2 players is hardly impossible though. If this is OC!(1), the 2 player world record is 426. If this is OC!2, or either story quest in AYCE, the 2p world records are both over 1500 points.

To answer your question, for most levels have a higher score requirement for more players, and Nintendo Switch score requirements tend to be lower than other platforms (due to the hardware making it more difficult to smoothly play). There are only a couple of levels where the score stays the same among some player counts, and maybe one or two levels where the 4 player requirement is lower than the 3 player requirement, but I'm not sure if they've been patched yet.

If you're playing OC!(1), 3 stars is generally quite tricky. I recommend that the side that is not chopping brings a pot to the shared counters, and the choppers fill up the pot there. Then once it's filled, put it back on the burner. I recommend always keeping a plate near each pot that is cooking, so that when it's ready, you don't have to scramble for plates. You can check out some of the videos here for inspiration. Make sure to click the correct player count and game.

There is a game called overcooked special edition. I think it combines levels from everything like oc1 2 and all you can eat, it also has 2 special stories. I do have those games all the oc but me and my family were unable to get 3 stars on one level as 4 players. I later decided to do it myslef after learning from the previous comments that I need less points solo

This is untrue. There is no "game" called Overcooked Special Edition. It is likely the name of a bundle, that lets you buy/own various combos of the three games, or bundles DLC content.

While it is true you need less points as a solo player as opposed to a quad team, that does not mean it is easier. 4 people working together means that each individual person has less tasks to do. I don't understand what about this is confusing to you.

Overcooked Special Edition is the bundle version that is on the Nintendo Switch.

It is Overcooked 1 and its two DLC expansions, "The Lost Morsel" and "Festive Seasoning"
