Trick

Tricks are a new mechanic introduced in Trouble in Paradise.

Overview

Tricks are bespoke animations that piñatas can perform, which are unique to each species. Like variants, a piñata must eat something to perform its trick. While a piñata is performing a trick, it can be tapped with the trick stick to learn that trick permanently. Once a piñata has learned a trick, the trick stick can be used to activate that trick on command rather than fulfilling the requirement again.

Every piñata species has two tricks, referred to in-game as Trick 1 and Trick 2, each with its own unique requirements. Trick 2 always uses the piñata's attack object as part of the trick. If a piñata knows its tricks, the Trick Stick can be used with the X button to perform Trick 1 or the Y button to perform Trick 2 (OR IS IT THE OTHER WAY AROUND? I FORGET! PLEASE FIX THIS!).

Trivia

• Curiously, there are no awards associated with tricks, making them optional for 100% completion.
