Tower of Sour

The Tower of Sour is a totem-pole-like structure located just outside the garden. It prevents sour piñatas from appearing, with each piece blocking a specific sour species.

Pieces of the Tower of Sour are awarded by Jardiniero the first time the player tames a sour piñata. Each piece closely resembles the face of its corresponding sour. When a piece is active, that species will no longer spawn in the garden unless it is manually turned off. Alternatively, Tower of Sour pieces can be purchased from Costolot’s Store, where they typically become available a few levels after the piñata first appears.

There are a total of 8 pieces (sometimes referred to as "blocks") of the tower in Viva Piñata and in Pocket Paradise. In Trouble in Paradise, the number has increased to 12. Pocket Paradise doesn't have a Tower of Sour, likely due to the game's top-down view not being conducive to the tower's verticality. Its role is instead fulfilled by Sour Blockers, which are arranged around the outskirts of your garden like statues. Much like Sour Tower blocks, these are awarded upon taming of the corresponding sour, can be bought from Costolot, and can be individually toggled on and off at will.

Completing the Tower of Sour attracts the Galagoogoo to your garden.
