Introduction [I1]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This FAQ is about the minigames available in Patapon 2. Each minigame has it's
own method of winning.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is a minigame? [I2]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A minigame is a game inside a game which allows you to win things usually for
the game. In Patapon 2, this is the case. Each minigame wins different thing
and depending on how well you played it, you can win better things.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How do I access the minigames? [I3]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First, to be able to play the minigames, you have to complete a level and you
may pick up a certain cap. Depending on which cap you find, you will unlock a
different minigame. Once you have gotten the cap, go to Mater, the tree of
life, and press X. This will bring the cap to life. Once the cap turns into a
Patapon, it will head off to the left rather than with all the other soldiers
to the right. If you follow it, it will go past the dancing people and out of
the screen. Wait a while and the (L) button will appear in the top-left hand
corner of the screen. Press (L) and it will move the screen over to one of the
minigames.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What do I need for the minigames? [I4]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All the games require Ka-ching (apart from the dancing game) and some of the
games require items. The amount of Ka-ching you need to play is 50 for Level 1,
100 for Level 2 and 150 for Level 3. As for items, only the Smithing and
Dancing minigames require them. For the smithing game, you require
either the
level 2 Ore (Hard Iron) or the level 5 ore (Adamanman/Adamantite. It depends
on which
version of the game you have).
For the dancing game, you can give any
item and depending on which one you give, you will be rewarded with Ka-ching.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Levels [I5]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each minigame has its own level which is similar to difficulty. To unlock the
next level, you must successfully finish the highest level a couple of times.
Once you finish the level, it will say 'You learned a new rhythm for next
time'. This just means that you unlocked the next level. There are only 3
levels and each level gets you different things, although they are all similar
(for example, the Mountain minigame will only get you ores no matter which
level you play it at).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Minigames [M1]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are 7 different minigames in Patapon 2. Learn to play them well and
you'll have a better
army, more materials and you should be better at the
rhythm of Patapon. Below are listed all the
minigames, what you do in them and
where to find the respectful cap. It will also tell you what type of material
you can win.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tree Minigame [M2]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name of Patapon: Pan the Pakapon
Name of Figure: Ubo Bon
Location of Cap: ~Juju Jungle Course~
All you have to do is keep destroying the structures in your path.
In the Tree minigame, you will have to press the (O) button accordingly to what
Ubo Bon the tree says. For example, if it says 'Bon bon bon', you would press
(O)_(O)_(O) in rhythm to what he said.
If Ubo Bon says 'Bobon bon bon', that
means (O) twice in one beat so (O)(O)_(O)_(O). Bobon means that you must press
it twice in one beat, Bobobon means three times in one beat and Bon means once.
Rewards: You can win a variety of things from this game. You can win:
-Bones
-Fangs
-Hides
-Woods
-Meats
You will also receive a hell of a lot of leaves, but they're worthless so don't
expect them to be of any use.
The grade of materials you can win are:
-Grade 1 (Any difficulty.)
-Grade 2 (Any difficulty.)
-Grade 3 (Level 2 and 3 only.)
-Grade 4 (Level 3 only.)
This means that you can win Super Cedars, Ottama Bones and Nazozo Fangs along
with Mystery Meat and Mezura Hides. This minigame can help you a lot for
getting a better army, but if you're looking to
get a level 5 material to make
a Sabara, Gyaba or Mogyu then you've got the wrong minigame.
The great thing about the tree game is that it doesn't really have any
difficult bits. All you need
to be able to do is identify the things that the
tree says and press (O) accordingly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flower Minigame [M3]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name of Patapon: Fah Zakpon
Name of Figure: Pop Bean
Location of cap: ~Centura in the Fog Lv. 3~
Beat Centura once to get the Centura Egg, three times to get the Zakpon Cap.
In the Flower Minigame, there are two parts. The first part will involve green
circles going
across the screen and when they get to the line at the left, you
need to press (O).
In the second part, all you have to do is note which pattern the vegetables are
flung out (So if they are flung out 1, 2, a gap then 3, then you must press
(O)(O)_(O) when the first vegetable is on the screen).
Note that if you tap (O) while the vegetables are coming down then you won't
get all of them, you'll probably only get one of them. Time it right, and
you'll get em' all.
Rewards: Vegetables. That's all you can win. Just plain ol' vegetables.
The grade of vegetables that you can win are:
-Grade 1 (Any difficulty.)
-Grade 2 (Any difficulty.)
-Grade 3 (Level 2 and 3 only.)
-Grade 4 (Level 3 only. Quite rare though.)
This is not my favourite minigame, but it has to be done if you're wanting a
good army of Megapons or Toripons, and I'm pretty sure you need vegetables for
Robopons too. Basically, get good at it for when you might need a large
quantity of vegetables.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mountain Minigame [M4]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name of Patapon: Kon Kimpon
Name of Figure: Rumble Thump
Location of cap: ~Training: Nanjaro Hill Course~
This level is made solely to practice using and timing your Pon Pata songs and
your Chaka Chaka songs. However, I find it to be a good way to get Ka-ching
and equipment. Once you beat the level once, you'll get the Kimpon cap.
In the Mountain Minigame, you will see the toes light up in a certain pattern.
Once they've
finished lighting up, press the (O) button in the same pattern to
proceed to the next bit. Do this
four times and the mountain baby thing will
give you its rocky tears as a gift.
Rewards: Rock Tears, otherwise known as Ores.
The grade of ores that you can win are:
-Grade 1 (Any difficulty.)
-Grade 2 (Any difficulty.)
-Grade 3 (Level 2 and 3 only.)
-Grade 4 (Level 3 only. Quite rare though.)
I like this minigame. All of it, except for one thing. Whenever you get it
wrong, it's likely that
the mountain will say something like how you got it
wrong, and if it doesn't then don't expect anything good. When it says
something like 'No!', it will also smash about which tends to put me off beat.
No wonder no-one wants to play with him...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cooking Minigame [M5]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name of Patapon: Rah Gashapon
Name of Figure: Simmer Slurp
Location of Cap: ~Firebird Fenicchi Lv. 3~
Depending on which version of the game you have, the name of the boss will be
different. For me, it
was Firebird Fenicchi. Other than that, it's the same
level. All you have to do is teeter it after
level 3. For a better chance of
teetering, use ice weapons to freeze it first.
In the Cooking Minigame, the giant pot thing will toss ingredients in at a
certain pace. Just cut them using the (O) button whenever they look close
enough to cut. Just make sure that you cut the last one though. It comes in at
a different speed and angle than the others so watch out because if you don't
slice it then it will hit the chef, which is quite funny to watch, but only if
you plan
on reloading the game after.
Rewads: Stews of all kinds. Stews will be available as soon as you make your
first one.
The grade of stews that you can make are:
-Grade 1 (Any difficulty.)
-Grade 2 (Any difficulty.)
-Grade 3 (Any difficulty.)
-Grade 4 (Levels 2 and 3 only.)
-Grade 5 (Level 3 only. Must get all things cut.)
This minigame has to be in the top 3 because it's so easy and if you get
Devil's Stew (Level 5 Stew) then your Patapon army will have a large Health
boost. It will also give them 8 more damage to both minimum and maximum. Their
CnC will increase by 20% as will their Ignite, Freeze and Sleep rates. I don't
really use them very often but it's good to have in case if you can't beat a
level.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Smithing Minigame [M6]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name of Patapon: Ton Kampon
Name of Figure: Fwoosh Famoose
Location of Cap: ~Ancient Guardian Manboroth Lv. 3~
Just beat Manboroth twice and when you're fighting it for the third time, if
you teeter it, then it should drop the Kampon Cap. You can't freeze this boss
so there's no helpful ways to teeter it.
Just hit it a lot and I would suggest
using the Kibapon Hero if you're having trouble with it. Equip a Great Fire
Lance, if you have one and enter Hero Mode.
In this Minigame, you must offer Ton Kampon both Ka-ching (depending on which
level you're
playing) and also either Hard Iron or Adamanman/Adamantite. Once
you've offered whatever, you'll
have to press the (O) button one beat after the
giant anvil presses the gas thing with it's foot. If you succesfully do this in
one round then it will speed up for the next. Do this again and it will speed
up again. If you get the third round right then it will slow down no matter
what.
If you successfully hit the material, the anvil will give you an alloy at the
end. But if you offer Adamanman and if you get it all right then you will get
a Magic Rune weapon, which are the
best weapons in the game. I've never gotten
one myself, but I hear they're better than awesome.
The grade of alloys that you can win are:
-Grade 1 (Any difficulty. Hard Iron only.)
-Grade 2 (Any difficulty. Hard Iron only.)
-Grade 3 (Any difficulty. Hard Iron only.)
-Grade 4 (Any difficulty. Adamanman only.)
You can also win Magic Rune Weapons from this minigame, but you have to be in
Level 2 or higher and offer Adamanman.
This minigame has to be second to last in the order of which I like them most.
However, it is probably most important, as this is the only way you can get
Magic Rune Weapons. So I would suggest getting good at it. Also, a tip: When
trying for a Magic Rune weapon, don't continue if you didn't get one. Just
start again and reload. It will save you a lot of material neccessary for
for
some of the classes of Patapons. So, to recap, don't fail, and if you do, try
it again after reloading it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dancing Minigame [M7]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name of Patapon: Shuraba Yapon
Name of Figure: Kururu Beruru
Location of Cap: Mission 14: The Sky Castle where God lives
After you destroy the eye, it will drop the Yapon Cap so pick that up.
Firstly, you must offer anything to Shuraba Yapon (any material). Just choose
something quitecommon like tender meat as you can get that by killing a
Mochichi. Then, depending on which level
of difficulty you chose, you will get
Ka-ching in return. Simple, right? Yeah, it IS that easy.
In the Dancing game, the bell will first drop down and turn into a dancer with
a very weird voice
(sounds a bit like a donkey to me...). Then, it will give a
tutorial. Skip it if you wanna read my version instead, otherwise continue with
the tutorial. The notes will go across the screen and you just press the (O)
button when they get to the line, just like the Flower Minigame. When there is
a giant chain of these, tap the (O) button as fast as you can because the more
you press it, the more Ka-ching you get.
Rewards: There are two rewards from this game. The first one is Ka-ching. The
second one is feeling
sorry for the dancer and that she has that voice.
The levels of difficulty affect how much Ka-ching you get, as do the
materials. You can actually get 700 Ka-ching from level 3 using Tender Meat.
There's a video of it on Youtube if you search for it.
This minigame is only good at level 3, and only if you're in dire need of
Ka-ching for another
minigame. 'Til then, you'll just have to put up with it
(but that's just my opinion). Just don't do
anything stupid like offering a
Demon Bone or something cos' you really need the Ka-ching. Just give it some
Tender Meat and go hunting if you need some.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alchemy Minigame [M8]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name of Patapon 1: Tsun Tunpon
Name of Patapon 2: Tsuku Tsukupon
Name of Figure: ????? (Need someone to tell me....)
Location of Cap: ~Huge Manboth in Kochikachi Lake Lv. 3~
Just teeter it and use the same tactics explained in the Ton Kampon section.
In this minigame, you will have the notes scrolling across the screen and when
they get to the line, you press ([]) or (O) depending on whether it's blue or
red. Blue means ([]) and red means (O). When a long line gets there, hold down
the button. Simple! There's also a tutorial if you need it.
Rewards: This minigame is the only way to get liquids (apart from Ciokina) so
get good at it!
Ciokina's quite difficult.
The grades of liquids that you can win are:
-Grade 1 (Any difficulty.)
-Grade 2 (Any difficulty.)
-Grade 3 (Levels 2 and 3 only.)
-Grade 4 (Level 3 only.)
I like this minigame and if you're into heavy-ish music then you'll like the
tune. By liking the heavy music, you'll get used to the tune and in turn will
get better at the minigame. It's one of my top games and since it's the easiest
way to get liquids, get better at it.
