Trivia
- Sparrowmint is the only piñata who's evolution method was changed between Viva Piñata and Trouble in Paradise. The reason is unknown, but it is likely this was to take advantage of some of the newly added plants.
- A possible exception may be Horstachio into Zumbug, who's method was simplified in Pocket Paradise. The actual food item is unchanged however.
