I personally enjoyed the secret stuff you could unlock in the game, like the extra colours from eating the right combination of foods, or the special evolutions for certain Pinata. It encourages you to test things out and have fun! Also, the bright and vibrant feel of the game is very appealing to me. Realism can be impressive, but there's something about the visual style of Viva Pinata that I love so much. 😊

This is tied for my favorite game of all time, so I can't not give you tips you didn't ask for! 1) The wiki says you have to hit the snake eggs on *exactly* the last of the three bounces. It doesn't have to be that precise. 2) You don't have to romance the Swananas and Rashberries separately first before you can try for the Pigixe, they just need to be feed joy candy and you're good to go. Though you'll only get the romance award from whichever one triggered the minigame. 3) Something I only learned last week, is that the Halo of Hardness accessory has a lot of helpful abilities, the most powerful being that if a pinata wearing one gets sick, they'll automatically get better after a few seconds. Which explains the lofy price tag. And this isn't a tip, I just find it gratifying that I've yet to see a person who didn't have some kind of problem with one of the endgame pinatas. For me the Galagoogoo was my nemesis. It took 50 goddamn days to get the one. Never again.
@PsydoofYT5 ай бұрын
Thank you for the tips! Viva Pinata is a beloved game from my childhood but I was never very good at it, so I appreciate the information. 😊 I genuinely expected the Galagoogoo to be the worst pinata to catch for me too. It was still a pain, but I can't believe the Roario ended up being worse. I got so tired of seeing Doenuts and Zumbugs in my garden by the end. 😂

This game was my favorite next to Spore when I was a kid! So much nostalgia as it approaches...twenty years old...now I feel old. Somehow the garden always felt bigger when I played it as a kid, when I played it recently I always felt like I had space issues. I also have a distinct memory of accidentally discovering the reddhotts, the tafly set itself on fire so I put it out. Then I discovered that they sold for like 2000 coins and would sort of spam transform and sell the reddhotts for a bunch of money early game. Your struggle with the Eaglair and the Roario are so real. And I distinctly remember stalking the chewnicorn, dropping gems in front of it until it would finally eat them.

They could even pull some inspiration from vaguely similar game mechanics, like the SA2 Chaos or any other pet/collection game, to create something new and unique. The niche doesn't have to be Viva Piñata though I wouldn't mind if they borrowed it wholesale since it was excellent overall (I just worry copyright might strike it down lol.)

I used to love this game so much ! My favourite piñata was the tamed sherbat, I even made a fanart as a young teen. Unfortunately I never really got further than taming that sour sherbat before the game got too overwhelming for me. I was playing on computer and the game was lagging a lot. The further I got into the game and the less playable it got, my computer couldn't deal with all the piñatas and plants. When the garden became bigger, I really wished I could zoom out more because it was really stressful to go from one part of the garden to the other and to find a specific piñata when a fight notification would pop up. The AI problems when trying to direct a piñata to a specific point was also a part of the issue and managing the plants was stressful, although I guess I never hired the gardener. With all that said I really loved that game and played it again last year, the concept is still very fun. There are so many piñata that you showed in the video I never knew existed ! Especially the evolution, I knew you could change the color of a piñata but didn't know you could "create" a new rare specie. Maybe I will one day come back to it, but I don't know if I'll ever "finish" the game like you did ! I wish there would be a remastered version that would fix the little problems here and there, the game would be relaxing if the frustrating controls were not that bad.

@SlurpyTheDog5 ай бұрын
I'm not sure how much this holds true for the first game, but in Trouble in Paradise its a lot easier to play with multiple gardens if you want to try and get every Pinata. The reason for this is that once you've met a Pinata's appearance requirements in your current garden, they continuously show up even if your garden doesn't currently meet them. Only so many pinatas can appear outside your garden at any given time, so eventually whether or not a certain pinata will be outside your garden is up to chance. When you get to the last 15 or so pinatas it can literally take days for them to show up, and this is especially frustrating for pinatas with big/annoying requirements like Roario and Dragumfly. However, whenever you make a new garden, you have to meet appearance requirements all over again, and it becomes much easier to collect everyone. Based on a few other weird quirks such as the comically low garden space system I think that Rare intended to encourage players to make multiple gardens instead of just one. (Gardens aren't save files and keep all of your progression, packages, journal entries and chocolate coins) I heavily enjoyed this video as one of the last few vp superfans remaining, always nice to see this game get more love. Edit: Also worth noting that the PC version of VP1 is very strange. A lot of the black and white pinata textures are inverted and the graphics overall are a pretty decent downgrade, which is weird given that you'd think the PC port would be the best looking. IIRC theres some other jank in that version that makes me gravitate towards the console versions a lot more. I wish it got a proper steam release or something though!

Thank you for the information! I can't remember how helpful multiple gardens are in the first game, unfortunately I couldn't test them as they're linked to Games For Windows Live which doesn't work anymore. 😔 In terms of the PC graphics, it's been so long since I played I can't really remember them on Xbox360. I'll check out some graphics comparisons to remind myself!

@@PsydoofYT I actually wrote this comment before finishing the video, and I almost garuntee that your troubles with the Eaglair and Roario were caused by this, I had pretty much the exact same experience when I used one garden for every piñata in TIP (and that was without using Gretchen) If you plan on doing TiP in the future, I definitely recommend getting your hands on the official guidebook, which is decently easy to find online and iirc doesn’t sell very high. Its not only very detailed but also a lot more efficient than looking everything up on the wikis. The requirements for most piñatas are changed in one way or another (some are easier like Chippopotamus but some like Fizzlybear are way harder) and there’s a specific piñata who has such a ridiculous set of requirements that you’d think it was a playground rumor. TiP is definitely my favorite of the two due to having multiple all time fave piñatas and having a lot of QoL improvements. (I swear the ai is at least 2% better) There’s a few things it falters in, ponds are a little more tedious for example, but it’s overall way more enjoyable and I would love to see you attempt getting all the piñatas.

@@PsydoofYT So I looked into it but it seems it's only for Xbox and Windows. I don't have an Xbox and it's not on Steam. Would you happen to know, if I buy a copy for Windows, if it would still work on Windows 11? Since it was apparently originally designed for Windows XP / Windows 7. I tried Googling it but am reading mixed answers.
@PsydoofYT5 ай бұрын
I'm not sure as I played the PC version on Windows 10. It might run with Backwards Compatibility, but the issue you'll probably have is getting around Games for Windows Live. There's guides online to do so however!
