Neopets Patapult Guide

Patapult is one of the many active games in the NC Mall! Patapult is a Neocash game, meaning it cannot be played with neopoints and can be played on side accounts. Users buy Patapuff packs from the NC Mall and can then play the skeeball game and earn exclusive wearable prizes!

Patapult

GETTING STARTED — PATAPUFFS

In order to play Patapult, you must buy a Patapuff pack. Patapuffs are sold in the NC Mall and can be purchased in three different quantities:

As you can see, Patapuff packs can be purchased individually or in packs of 5 or 10. Buying larger packs decreases the amount of an individual Patapuff and is essentially a better deal. If you plan to play multiple times for a specific prize, consider buying one of the larger packs to save money!

Unlike other NC Mall games like Shenanigifts and Wonderclaw, there are no Power-Ups in Patapult.

PLAYING PATAPULT

To start the game, go to the homepage and click “PLAY”. Patapult is a unique NC Mall game in that it takes actual skill to get the prizes you would like. The game only requires a mouse or trackpad, and there are two main controls: 1) Use your mouse to drag the Patamoose back and forth in order to aim it, and 2) Left click on the Patamoose and drag it towards the idol of your choice to launch it.

Patapult

Depending on which prize you are aiming for, you can aim and launch your Patamoose at Wood, Bronze, Silver, or Gold idols. These tiers provide different prizes, so check out the “Prizes” section of this article before playing!

For each Patapuff you use, you have three chances to get an idol, which will correspond with the areas on the map above. If you miss, you will generally end up with a Wood idol. Each of the three rounds should result in an idol, and you can decide if you want to keep it or try again after each time. If you get the idol you want on your first or second throw and decide to keep it, the game will end, and you would have to use another Patapuff to continue playing.

Unfortunately, the game takes some practice, and it might require quite a few Patapuffs before you get the tier you’d like, say Silver or Bronze. Be careful if you’re playing for the first time and only have a limited amount of Patapuffs!

REDEEMING Patapult PRIZES

Redeeming prizes requires the idols that you win during the game. The amount of idols you have will appear on the homepage of the game, and not in your inventory.

Patapult prizesAs you can see, I have 0 of each idol… 🙁

Each prize is worth a certain amount of idols in a certain tier. To collect a prize, simply click “REDEEM IDOLS” under your Acquired Idols count. A prize can only be collected if you have the exact idol that is required, meaning a Bronze-tier prize needs a Bronze idol to be redeemed; even if you have a Bronze Idol and want a Wood-tier prize, it won’t work.

Neopets Shenanigifts Guide

Shenanigifts is the latest game to come from the NC Mall in which users can exclusive NC wearables! After buying in-game “invitations,” which can be found in the Mall, users can attend parties and use “Power-Ups” to win Neocash prizes. Read more below to see how to play and what you can win!

ShenanigiftsThe homepage of Shenanigifts in the NC Mall.

GETTING STARTED Shenanigifts – INVITATIONS & POWER-UPS

In order to play, users must have an “invitation” which are necessary to enter a particular party. Invitations can be purchased from the NC Mall individually or in packs:

Shenanigift

As you can see, buying packs will save you NC in the long run. While a 1-pack values an invitation at 150 NC, buying a 5-pack values them at 100 NC each. If you plan on playing Shenanigifts multiple times, consider buying a pack! When you’re ready to play, simply go to your inventory, click on the invitation, and click “Activate” in the scroll-down menu. The item will activate in-game and will never expire.

There are also optional Power-Ups that can be used in the game, also purchasable through the NC Mall:

NEOPETS Shenanigifts

Power-Ups will not show up in your inventory, but instead, you will find them in your in-game inventory.
These three Power-Ups have different functions:

  • Extra Chance Shenanigifts Power-Up — You can use this Power-Up to choose a fourth Elephante during the game.
  • 2 Gift Party Shenanigifts Power-Up — You can use this Power-Up to win a second prize! This is both the most expensive and most popular Power-Up.
  • Second Look Shenanigifts Power-Up — You can use this Power-Up after you’ve taken your third turn

While Power-Ups are not necessary, you may want to consider them if you are aiming for a specific prize.

PICKING A PARTY IN Shenanigifts

In Shenanigifts, the different parties give out different prizes, and each has a specific theme. There are currently three active parties: Garden Party, Lunar Festival Party, and Caroling Party. If you want a specific prize, check out the items you can win in the “Prizes” section of this article and choose the corresponding party! Each party has the same amount of items to possibly win.

PLAYING SHENANIGIFTS

Shenanigifts is a very simple game. First, choose a party to attend on the main page and then click “Join the Party”. Once you’re inside of the party, you will start giving gifts by selecting a party attendant, confirm that you would like to in fact choose that guest, and then the (surprisingly nameless) purple Elephante host will present you with their gift. Now, you decide if you want to take this gift and exit the game or continue receiving gifts. If you want a different gift, click “Pick Another” and then select another party guest. Warning: Without the right Power-Ups, the Elephante whose gift you rejected will fade away and cannot be re-selected. Every round you play (1 invitation), you can choose up to a third Elephante. If you reject the first two gifts you receive, you will be with the third gift you receive. Rarely, you can win a bonus item, which is completely random. Your gift(s) can be found in your item inventory at the end of the game.

You can use your Power-Ups during and at the end of the game, so this is where the only game strategy will take place. You can see how many of each Power-Up you have on the homepage, and you can always buy more at the NC Mall.

Neopets Darigan Dodgeball

In the perilous world of Neopets Darigan Dodgeball, players take on the role of a daring Darigan Kiko in the eerie realm of Darigan Citadel. The objective? Survive as long as possible while dodging an onslaught of incoming dodgeballs. With fast-paced gameplay that tests both reflexes and strategy, this game promises endless excitement and challenge.

How to Play Darigan Dodgeball

Neopets Darigan Dodgeball is straightforward, requiring only your mouse and plenty of patience. Here’s how to get started:

  1. Begin the Game: Position your mouse over the Kiko and hold down the mouse button to start moving him around the screen.
  2. Dodge the Dodgeballs: As you maneuver, dodge the incoming dodgeballs that speed up over time. Keep your finger on the mouse button; releasing it will end the game.
  3. Scoring: When your Kiko is hit, your score is multiplied by 100, which will be your official score for that session.
  4. Avoid Distractions: To maximize your score, ensure you’re in a distraction-free environment where you can focus entirely on the game.

Gameplay Mechanics

The gameplay revolves around keeping your Kiko alive for as long as possible. As you progress, the speed and frequency of the dodgeballs increase, making it more challenging to survive. The following aspects are crucial to your success:

  • Mouse Control: The entire game is controlled with your mouse. Mastering the art of moving the Kiko quickly and precisely is essential.
  • Spatial Awareness: Memorize the size of the Kiko and learn how to navigate through the dodgeballs. Recognizing whether he can fit between two close balls can save you from getting hit.

What NOT to Do

To achieve a high score in Darigan Dodgeball, avoid the following pitfalls:

darigandodgeball_1-4843094   darigandodgeball_5-9131042   darigandodgeball_3-3334940   Darigan Dodgeball

  • Touching Dodgeballs: Colliding with any dodgeball ends the game immediately.
  • Going Off-Screen: Don’t let your Kiko touch the edges of the screen; this also results in a loss.
  • Lifting Your Finger Off the Mouse: Once the game starts, your finger must remain on the mouse button. Distractions can lead to failure.

Types of Dodgeballs

The game features various dodgeballs, categorized by size from smallest to largest. Each type moves differently and presents unique challenges. Pay attention to their movement patterns to effectively dodge them.

Strategies for Success

To increase your chances of surviving longer and scoring higher, consider these strategies:

  1. Positioning: Start your Kiko in the middle of the screen. This position gives you the best vantage point to dodge balls in either direction.
  2. Focus on Smaller Dodgeballs: While all dodgeballs are dangerous, the smaller ones can slip through tight spaces more easily, so keep a close eye on them.
  3. Open Your Path: Avoid staying in corners or along the edges for too long. This will limit your escape routes and increase the risk of being hit.
  4. Memorization: Familiarize yourself with the size of your Kiko and practice the timing of the dodgeballs’ movements.

Starting Off: Luck and Persistence

At the beginning of the game, success often comes down to luck. The initial configuration of dodgeballs can significantly affect your chances. Sometimes, they may cluster in the center, making it nearly impossible to dodge. Be prepared for a few failed attempts as you work toward a lucky streak.

Darigan Dodgeball

Tips for High Scores in Darigan Dodgeball

  • Practice Regularly: Like many games, practice makes perfect. The more you play, the better you’ll become at judging distances and making quick decisions.
  • Don’t Watch the Timer: Concentrate solely on the dodgeballs instead of checking the timer. Frequent checks can distract you and lead to mistakes.
  • Stay Calm and Focused: High-stress situations can lead to mistakes. Keep your composure, and don’t panic when dodgeballs come rushing at you.

Neopets Darigan Dodgeball Cheats

To gain an edge over the competition, try these simple cheats:

  • Center Position: Always begin in the middle of the screen for the greatest range of motion.
  • Watch Smaller Balls: Prioritize tracking the smallest dodgeball; it can often lead to unexpected collisions.
  • Keep Moving: Continuously move your Kiko to avoid becoming predictable and to maintain more options for dodging.

Trophies and Achievements

With enough concentration and skill, you can earn trophies for your efforts in Darigan Dodgeball. Achieving high scores can lead to recognition within the Neopian community, showcasing your dedication and skill in the game.

Conclusion

Neopets Darigan Dodgeball is not only a test of reflexes but also a challenge of strategy and focus. With practice, patience, and the right techniques, you can master the art of dodging and achieve impressive scores. Dive into the action, embrace the thrill of survival, and see how long you can keep your Darigan Kiko in the game! Good luck, and may your dodging skills be as sharp as your aim!

Neopets Cloud Raiders

Neopets Cloud Raiders are calling you to fly a ship, more importantly to be the Captain! In Neopets Cloud Raiders you are travelling to Terror Mountain from Faerieland. (Seems a bit hard now considering Faerieland is on the ground.)

About Neopets Cloud Raiders

You are going to be in control of the air currents that are around. You click and drag your mouse to make an air current so your ship will fly into it and float up. You are controlling how fast the ship will go ( how steep you make the air current slope) and the direction ( up or down to avoid obstacles.)

(Note:This game can be challenging for first time users so make sure you practice.)

On the top of your screen you will see your life ( the heart.)  If you run out of health than your ship will crash and it will be game over.
The amount of air current you have ( the pen) will start depleting if you have used too much but it will replenish over time.
The number next to your coin (straight forward) but these are your points
The two buttons on the right hand side:
The blue one turns off extra animation and the red one can pause your game.

How to Play Cloud Raiders

The controls will take some time to get use to. You will be dragging the air current up and down, over the ship and under the ship to avoid a lot of different things. You need to make sure that the currents are as close to your ship as possible because they will vanish after a few seconds.
The only way for you to obtain points is by flying into the coins with your ship. This goes with getting injured too, it only happens when your ship hits the obstacles.

Neopets Chariot Chase

In Neopets Chariot Chase you are racing around as quickly as you can. Do not hit the other people in Neopets Chariot Chase or you may lose the game!

You are versing six other chariots in this brutal fast-paced figure eight course. Do not hit the other competitors or you will not just lose a life you may lose the game. Hit them four times as it is game over!

How to Play Chariot Chase

The aim of this survival game is to travel around the course as many times as possible. You are not racing against a clock at all in this game instead you are seeing how many times you can go around this course. So you can take your time.

To play you need your keyboard. The controls are simple enough. Using your arrows keys (up, down, left and right) control the chariot around the figure-eight.

(Note: holding down on the up key will make your chariot max speed so be careful!)
Chariot Chase

Only full laps will count towards your score so keep going if you want that Gold trophy.

Power Up What it does
 chariot-chase1-4390711 When activated the other players will slow down
 chariot-chase2-2246472 You will be invisible as long as you are on the cloud
 chariot-chase3-9873932 Beware! Hitting this will make you go off track
 chariot-chase4-8131974 Force field shield for a short amount of time.

Playing Chariot Chase

Select either Electric or Faerie just because of the starting positions. It doesn’t give you much of an advantage point but it does decrease your chances from being hit by the other players at the start – losing lives is not what you want in this game!

When you begin this game a 5 second counter will appear to count down you need to see where you are on the map and push forward so that you are not hit straight away. Staying close to the wall especially if you are electric will help. If you keep getting hit in the first lap then restart the game.

Initially what you want is in the first lap to get ahead of everyone else. This is the hardest lap in the entire game. Once you are out you should be able to keep going until you eventually give up in boredom.

Each computer generated chariot will go the exact same pattern around the course. So it is beneficial for you to memorize how they will go so when they get close to you, you would be able to shake them off easily.

Neopets Chariot Chase Cheats

If you miss a power up sometimes it is a good idea to start going backwards to get it so that you can actually use it.

The only difference between Normal and hard is the speed of the players and the scoring. Normal is for practicing and hard is if you want a trophy.

At the top of the track is a safe point in case someone is threatening to hit you go to the top and they should pass you.

If you see a clock power up make sure you are not going full power into it if you are close to other chariots.

Pull over to the side if the other chariots are too close to you. Making sure you are out of harm’s way though.

At the intersection look both ways.

An finally check the high score table to see how many laps you need to beat for one of the trophies.
