(PPPP!) And surprisingly, though very short, this game is as sweet and sugary as any little girl (or boy) who loves pink ponies and lots of birthday presents, would want. Ok, it's not at all challenging, and doesn't really need a FAQ, but it's just sooooo cute. ^_^ (Truth is, I got this game for a joke, but it turned out to be fun...for half an hour!) [Psycho Penguin thinks this is the greatest game about a pink pony trying to find her presents that her idiot friends scattered all over the place, making you waste time trying to solve silly mini games, when you really just want to party with some cake, EVER!] ----------------- Table of Contents ----------------- 1. Controls 2. Gameplay Basics 3. Walkthrough 4. Mini Games 5. Gifts 6. Credits, Legal and Contact ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. C O N T R O L S ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Move Pinkie Pie using the directional buttons. No, the stylus doesn't move your pony! Use the stylus to tap the top right pink heart and this will give show you "Things to Do". Use the stylus to talk to any of your pony friends. There are lots of little things that you can tap, which don't have anything to do with the mini-games, but they will react in various ways. For example, tap on anything that sparkles, tap on a flower, a butterfly, a worm, a windmill. Inside houses, you can tap on balloons and anything else that looks like it might move! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. G A M E P L A Y B A S I C S ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- While this is not the most complex game ever created, we felt the need to discuss the "basics" of the basic game! Basically. MAP! ---- The top screen shows a helpful map of all the houses, and Pinkie Pie appears on this screen so you can know exactly where you are. It also shows the number of presents and puzzle pieces that you have collected. PRESENTS! --------- If you want to open your presents, return to Party Cake Place and walk to the right. There is a sparkling present on the table that you can tap, and this shows all the presents that you have collected. Tap one, and it will appear on the bottom screen. Then use the stylus to unwrap the present. You must uncover every bit of the wrapping paper. If the present doesn't seem to open, then you will have missed a bit of the wrapping, so keep moving the stylus over the area until the present opens. PUZZLE! ------- There is a puzzle piece next to this table, and if you tap this, you can complete the puzzle jigsaw. Find the corner pieces first! When you move a piece to the correct spot, it will stay there and cannot be moved again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. W A L K T H R O U G H ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This game is licensed by THQ, so you know who to blame. They used to make good wrestling games for the Nintendo 64. Enjoy the cute intro song as I explain this walkthrough. My goal is to lead you from mini game to mini game, in addition to explaining the ones my fabulously awesome co-writer did not explain, and I will also guide you to get all the puzzle pieces in the game. There are 20 presents and 12 puzzles to get in all. Choose ADVENTURE and the game is under way. PARTY CAKE PLACE ---------------- Cherilee says: Hi there, Sweetie Belle!! You look very sweet today. Are you ready for Pinkie Pie's big birthday party? Party Cake Place looks so beautiful already! Yes, yes, I have been looking all morning! I went over Ponyville and hid 20 of Pinkie Pie's presents just like you asked. Oh dear!! Those presents should have been hidden in Party Cake Place. We need help to find them before the party starts. Here comes Pinkie Pie.. I know she can help us find all 20 of the presents. And yes, that's your objective. The good news is, there's a TOP SCREEN YAY, which basically explains the next place to go, so it won't be too bad. Let's get this potential pink pony pie's party popping! Note, if you use the stylus and whack the sparkling present here, it shows you the presents you have collected and ones you still need to get. I had no idea about this the first time I played this gem! COLLECTING PRESENTS AND PUZZLE PIECES ------------------------------------- Okay, you start off in the top part of the palace. Go south, and you'll get a hint that you can use the stylus to secure presents. Sure enough, there's one standing right there under the light, so touch it with the stylus! ONE PRESENT DOWN, NINETEEN TO GO! Go left two screens, and you'll get another prompt. Oh lookie, a puzzle piece on the floor! Pick it up with the stylus! ONE PUZZLE PIECE DOWN, ELEVEN TO GO! =-=-=-=-=-=-= -> COUNTER <- =-=-=-=-=-=-= 1/20 PRESENTS, 1/12 PUZZLE PIECES Next, go into the house, and she'll tell you to go to the tree house for another present. It's marked on your screen, but I'll take you there anyways. Leave the house, go right three screens, and pick up another puzzle piece. (2/12 DOWN!). Go south to the next screen now. There's a puzzle piece behind the well, next to the blue pot thingie. (3/12 DOWN!). Now, go left to the next screen. Here, you can get a present and a puzzle piece! =-=-=-=-=-=-= -> COUNTER <- =-=-=-=-=-=-= 2/20 PRESENTS, 4/12 PUZZLE PIECES Now, leave the tree house, go right a screen, up one, and left three screens, back into this house. This is the first mini game, a simple puzzle where you have to locate the present after it moves under some umbrellas.(MINI GAME 3 - RAINBOW DASH). You'll end up with the third present. Now, go left three screens, down one, and left three screens. Get the present sparkling to the left of the house, then go left another screen. Grab the puzzle piece. (5 DOWN!). Go left another screen, then go inside the house for another present and puzzle piece. Talk to the pony for another mini game. This one is fun. (MINI GAME 5 -SWEETIE-BELLE). My best strategy for this was moving one balloon to the left and one to the right at all times. The other one just did whatever. I didn't lose any balloons at all. =-=-=-=-=-=-= -> COUNTER <- =-=-=-=-=-=-= 6/20 PRESENTS, 6/12 PUZZLE PIECES Now, you need to head to the house to the upper left. Leave this house, and go right four screens, up one, and left three. Grab the puzzle piece (7 DOWN) on this screen, then move to the next screen. There's a puzzle piece here, too, next to the blue pony (8 DOWN!) Now, head inside the house. Talk to the pony, and she'll tell you to go to the Kite Shop. So, now, let's head out and go two screens to the right. Enter the Kite Shop now, and get the present! =-=-=-=-=-=-= -> COUNTER <- =-=-=-=-=-=-= 7/20 PRESENTS, 8/12 PUZZLE PIECES Go right two screens, down one, and left two. Time to play another mini game (MINI GAME 1 - STARSONG). Win this for another present. Now, talk to the pony again and play another mini game. This one is simple, you just need to circle the notes with the stylus as they appear. Go right three screens for a puzzle piece, then left one screen, and talk to the pony. Now, play the mini game (Turn the stylus in a wheel-like motion til you fil the bucket, walk left and push A on top of the soil, and repeat twice) and get another present. There's another mini game to play after this (MINI GAME 4 - CHEERIELEE) and get another present. =-=-=-=-=-=-= -> COUNTER <- =-=-=-=-=-=-= 11/20 PRESENTS, 9/12 PUZZLE PIECES Go left four screens, talk to the pony in the house, and she'll tell you she buried a present in the garden. So, go right four screens again, and get the present next to the blue watering pot. Go left two screens, enter the house, and talk to the pony again. She'll say she saw Sweetie Belle hide a present in Party Cake Place. Go back to where you started the game now. Get the present, then return to the screen you were at before. =-=-=-=-=-=-= -> COUNTER <- =-=-=-=-=-=-= 13/20 PRESENTS, 9/12 PUZZLE PIECES Do the dancing mini game here, (MINI GAME 6 - STARSONG) and you'll get another present! We're getting there now! Leave here, and go right. Enter the tree house now. This racing mini game is simple. (MINI GAME 7 - SCOOTALOO). Just hold down right and dodge the few obstacles! Another present is your reward! Yay! Leave here, go right one screen, up one, and right one. Another puzzle piece and present await! Go right another screen for another puzzle piece. Enter the house for the final piece! :) =-=-=-=-=-=-= -> COUNTER <- =-=-=-=-=-=-= 16/20 PRESENTS, 12/12 PUZZLE PIECES We sure are getting close now! Leave here, and go all the way to the left now. The balloon blowing mini game (MINI GAME 8 - TOOLA ROOLA) is pretty challenging at times. Just blow a little at a time, until the bar is red, then stop. Do this for every balloon, then design a banner and cake. You get another present! Leave this house, then go right four screens, down one, and left one. Enter the tree house and do this mini game. Basically, you have to use the sponge and use the stylus to wipe them down, then get the water and wipe all the soap off. Do this for both and you earn another present! =-=-=-=-=-=-= -> COUNTER <- =-=-=-=-=-=-= 18/20 PRESENTS, 12/12 PUZZLE PIECES Go to the house in the upper left hand corner again. Enter the house and do the easy ass crayon mini game for another present! Only one more to go! AREN'T YOU SO EXCITED! Go out, right four screens, down one, and left one to the treehouse again. Do this final mini game involving butterfly catching, (MINI GAME 2 - SCOOTALOO - same name as the other one, as it's the same Pony who introduces the game) and A BOOYAH! =-=-=-=-=-=-= -> COUNTER <- =-=-=-=-=-=-= 20/20 PRESENTS, 12/12 PUZZLE PIECES Go back to the beginning starting point, solve the puzzle, open all your presents, and enjoy the cute ending! :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. M I N I G A M E S ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You will unlock eight mini games during the course of finding the presents. Some of them are named according to the task, and others for the name of the pony that introduces the game. They are all fun, except maybe the scooter race...I kept getting stuck behind the obstacles. Anyhow, each one has a short description from the game and then an explanation of how to get the best result! When you complete the Adventure game, you can play these games again from the main menu screen. -------------------- 1. S T A R S O N G -------------------- " I just love to make music. These wind chimes sound so beautiful" You are shown five different coloured wind chimes on the lower screen. A series of different coloured musical notes will appear on the top screen, and move from right to left, past a rectangular box. When a note reaches the box, tap the correct coloured chime. If you do it right, then you will see the note move down the screen, as if to enter the chime. If you miss, then the note will just carry on moving, until it disappears at the far left of the top screen. You score out of 20, one point for each note. Yay! ---------------------- 2. S C O O T A L O O ---------------------- "My butterfly friends and I just love to play tag! Come join us!" The lower screen shows a field with trees and flowers. Different coloured butterflies are dotted around the screen. Some of them are a little difficult to spot, as they are the same colour of the flowers. The colours are: yellow, green, deep pink, purple. pale blue, pale yellow and orange. One butterfly appears on the top screen, and you must use the stylus to draw a circle around a matching butterfly on the bottom screen. After a few seconds, the top butterfly will change colour. You need to keep an eye on the top screen for the change. The stylus will make a red line, and the circle you draw doesn't have to be a perfect one! There is a timer counting down from 3 minutes, but you will probably complete the game within a minute. --------------------------- 3. R A I N B O W D A S H --------------------------- It's a fun game of hide 'n seek with my umbrellas. Let's play!" In this game a present is hidden underneath one of three identical umbrellas. They are then moved around, and your task is to keep an eye on the one with the present underneath. When they stop moving, pick the correct umbrella to receive the present! They move for around 10 seconds, and they move fairly slowly, so this is easy enough to do. ---------------------- 4. C H E E R I L E E ---------------------- "Help me plant my garden and try not to feed those silly critters! There are six holes in the ground and a bowl with seeds at the left of the screen. Your task is do plant a seed in each hole, before the critters (brown moles, I guess) eat the seeds. They randomly pop up in the holes, and if you try to plant the seed when they are up, it gets eaten. You use the stylus to drag a seed to the hole, and you can drag and wait, (keep the stylus pressed onto the screen) until the hole is empty. Then drag the seed to the hole and a flower will grow. Do all six to get another present! There is no time limit to this game. ----------------------------- 5. S W E E T I E - B E L L E ----------------------------- " Let's take the hot air balloons for a ride and catch balloons." This is a lovely little game. There are three hot air balloons on the bottom screen. Ordinary balloons will appear on the top screen, and all you have to do, is to position the three big balloons on the lower screen so they catch the balloons. You use the stylus to drag the hot air balloon up or left or right. Don't let them fall to the bottom of the screen, or they will disappear, and you will lose the game There is no time limit, and you must catch 30 balloons to win. -------------------- 6. S T A R S O N G -------------------- "I know I can teach you to dance. Let's give it a try!" Blue boy pony teaches pink girl pony to dance, and then we dance together!. Yep, this is one of those annoying dancing mini-games. You must watch the arrows that appear on the bottom screen. The arrows will be highlighted, one by one, with a yellow light. Then you must tap on the arrows to repeat the steps. Watch carefully, to see the correct order of the dance steps. ---- |^ | |--.--.--| |< | | >| ---.--.--- |v | --- Starsong will jiggle around in a mad blue pony dance on the top screen. When you press the correct sequence, Pinkie Pony will dance on the screen, and then Starsong joins in, if you got the steps right. There are six steps in all, and they are shown with 2, then 3, then 4, then 5, and finally all six. That's it. ---------------------- 7. S C O O T A L O O ---------------------- I know we can go fast only new scooters. Let's race." Press the right directional button to make the scooter move to the right. The track is short but narrow, with a few obstacles that you must miss. You can see usually see the first of these, near the start line. However they are positioned at random along the path. Obstacles are balls, teapots, plant pots, watering cans and balloons. Use the directional buttons up and down to avoid these obstacles, and keep moving. You can see your progress on the top screen, where there is a line with both scooters' current position. ---------------------------- 8. T O O L A - R O O L A ---------------------------- I love to decorate for parties. Can you help me?" This final game involves using the microphone to blow up balloons. Select a balloon by tapping one, and then blow into the microphone to raise the gauge to the top. Blow too hard and the gauge will fill too quickly and the balloon with burst. When the bar reaches the red then the balloon will inflate, and float up to the top screen. When you have inflated 6 balloons, then you will see a new screen. Here you select a banner (one out of four), and then drag various decorations onto it. There is a bar at the top of the bottom screen where new things will appear after you drag one, OR you can scroll the bar to left or right, using the directional buttons. This will reveal all the decorations. When you have finished, tap "Done". The next screen shows a large three-layered birthday cake. Tap one of the four colours at the top of the screen and then tap one layer at a time, to colour it. Then drag the decorations from the sides and place them onto the cake. When you have finished, tap "Done". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. G I F T S ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are 20 gifts to find and unwrap. They appear in four rows. When you complete the Adventure game, you can play with these presents from the main menu screen, but you cannot unwrap them again! 1. How wonderful, A ball to bounce. 2. Let's make some music with my new bongo drums! 3. I just love to read that this an extra special book! 4. My own box filled with something extra special! 5. It's such a pretty jar of bubbles! 6.
