Waves are segments in which the chapters are divided. Each chapter has 10 waves. In all of the chapters there is a boss at the end. After the last wave of a chapter is beaten, it will show the words: "System Clear, Prepare for Warp!". (The only exceptions are after beating Chapter 2 and 6, where it just says "System Clear!", and the obvious final chapter, where it says "Spectacularly Brilliant!"). Below you can see every wave from Ultimate Omelette and what each contain.
