What is the Quickest way to Complete all Quests and Races?

First you’ll want to start with the Party Bus, Anne’s and Sabrine’s races. Afterwards do Alex’s crate question quest and then Erissa’s path quest. Now do Lisa’s sheep choir and Katja’s spot the difference quest.

Next you’ll want to do Jessica’s “fake face” quest and finally do Linda’s trivia walk quests. Plus as a bonus do the Bobcat’s Wild rack in a group while your at moorland doing the champ or if Linda’s trivia walk quest takes you there.

More updates once they add all the quests and races!

Summary

The total time it takes to complete all of the quest and races with my speedrun is roughly 20mins. It’s greatly improved though doing them this way!

Here is a breakdown of my speedrun:

• Start with the races
• Do Jessica’s “Fake Face” quest
• Do Alex then Erissa then Lisa and then Katja’s quests
• Finally do Linda’s trivia walk quests
• Bonus: If Linda’s trivia walk is at moorland or nearby do the Bobcat’s Wild Track race in a group and the moorland championship questwhen one is available to work towards completing club tasks!

Star Stable Birthday Event: Quickest way to Complete all Quests and Races brought to you by Gaming Chickadee

She loves to play as Princess Daisy in the Super Mario Games, Her favorite games change a lot but right they are: Mario Party Superstars, Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Pretty Princess Party.

If you’d like to learn more about the event, try checking out my review here.

Tips

I recommend starting with whatever location you’re at. If you’re closer to moorland start there and if you’re closer to starshine ranch start there. In any case we’ll start with moorland in this example.

Start with the high striker than do Bobbie’s race. Afterwards do Jasper or Dorith’s pumpkin quests or both of theirs’s depending on who you want to win or just make it a tie. In the tricks section of this post, I have a way of doing them much faster. After you finish with all the moorland chores take the transportation to Starshine Ranch.

Now once you’re at Starshine Ranch, do Cassie’s races and move on to starting Josh’s and Wesley’s quests, that way you can multi task while doing them. For example sometimes you have to clear the path by the Wolves den and the missing horses are also sometimes there.

Next the gold rush, I recommend heading towards the mine during gold rush because there’s ushally a bunch of gold bits and rocks to mine there. It’s best to go after the rocks though unless there’s only 10 secounds less on the clock.

Finally, Scott Buttergood’s races and Annie’s quest. Now all the quests and races should be done!

Below are Images displaying the quests, races, points they give and the time it takes to complete each:

Tricks

When trying to get the water back from the mule, accept both mule quest at once (Water and Fertilizer from either person) and ride like you would normally do to get to the mule with the water and when it pops up with the “okay” button to start the minigame wait to press it until your horse says which way to go for the Fertilizer quest click anyway except the okay button then press spacebar, you’re now free to move! Press X to get off your horse and then you can walk right up to the mule, now click okay and click the mule! This trick only works with a horse with a special move and must be at least level 7 before they can use one.

When finding the mule with the Fertilizer they are always in preset locations, below is a table listing all the locations I’ve found so far.

She loves to play as Princess Daisy in the Super Mario Games, Her favorite games change a lot but right they are: Mario Party Superstars, Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Pretty Princess Party.

Tips

Here are some tips to catch pokémon more efficiently:

• Use Motion Controls Wisely – When playing in docked mode, use gentle wrist movements for better accuracy. In handheld mode, aim carefully before throwing.
• Use Berries – Razz Berries make Pokémon easier to catch, while Nanab Berries slow their movement. Use them strategically!
• Get Catch Combos – Catching the same Pokémon multiple times in a row increases your chances of encountering Shiny Pokémon, earning more XP, and finding rare Pokémon.
• Throw Excellent Throws – Aim for the smallest circle to maximize catch rates and XP bonuses.

Strengthening Your Team
Use Candies Wisely: Candies from the GO Park or catch combos boost Pokémon stats significantly.
Check Pokémon’s IVs: After catching, talk to the IV Judge (unlocked in the Pokémon Box after catching 30 Pokémon) to check if your Pokémon has great stats.

Eevee’s Exclusive Moves
Your partner Eevee learns powerful exclusive moves that cover a variety of types:

• Bouncy Bubble (Water) – Heals Eevee while dealing damage.
• Buzzy Buzz (Electric) – Guarantees paralysis.
• Sizzly Slide (Fire) – Always burns the target.
• Glitzy Glow (Psychic) & Baddy Bad (Dark) – Provides defensive buffs

Take advantage of these moves to cover weaknesses!

Tricks

Leveling up quickly can be a great help. Catching Pokémon repeatedly instead of just battling, catching Pokémon grants more XP than defeating trainers.

Lures can attract rarer Pokémon and increase XP when catching them. Battle Coach Trainers provide high XP and unique rewards too!

There’s also post-game challenges that include:

• Master Trainers – Each Pokémon has a dedicated Master Trainer. Defeat them using the same species for a unique title.
• Catch Legendary Pokémon – After beating the Elite Four, you can catch Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mewtwo, and even Meltan (via Pokémon GO).
• Battle Red, Blue, and Green – These legendary trainers provide the toughest challenges in the game!

Pokémon Let’s Go Eevee – Tips and Tricks brought to you by Gaming Chickadee

Chickadee loves to have family gaming days. She loves birds, unicorns, ponies She also likes the Nancy Drew Games. She loves to play as Princess Daisy in the Super Mario Games, Her favorite games change a lot but right they are: Mario Party Superstars, Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Pretty Princess Party.

Tips

Keep in mind that each dough animal has different personalities too. The Lil’Buns when big will eat the little ones. The birds tend to run away from you and off a cliff or into the lightning which can be quite annoying. The monkeys when big will attack the enemies for you.

The foxes will be cheeky and run away from you but if you sneak up behind them you can still grab them. The armadillos will try to roll into you so watch out! The snakes will hide in the sand and pop back out. The bats will suck the flavors out of the other doughs.

Make sure to use each super, Sage’s super is really good to rank up some points. 600 is the max points she can get. A max dough is worth 820 in the oven, if you time it just right and use Ginger’s super then Thyme’s super you can get a lot of points too.

Tricks

If you stand right in front of a spawning dough spot and mash the throw button, you can merge doughs much easier. This trick can also work when you want to get rid of the enemies faster but mash the attack button instead.

Each character has a different skill and weakness, It’s good to work with your characters abilities and players’ to find the best strategy. Just be like Foxy Gamer and play as the weakest fighter who somehow is the best fighter, lol.

Bake ‘n Switch – Tips and Tricks brought to you by Gaming Chickadee

Chickadee loves to have family gaming days. She loves birds, unicorns, ponies She also likes the Nancy Drew Games. She loves to play as Princess Daisy in the Super Mario Games, Her favorite games change a lot but right they are: Mario Party Superstars, Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Pretty Princess Party.

Tips

Here are some tips for this game. These tips include strategies to play the minigames and more.

If you’re like us we don’t really do VS we like to do Co-op even if it’s supposed to be VS. In some minigames like the Big-Top Quiz minigame you can work together. Each player can watch a Toad and what their ball’s picture looks like to win together.

Another minigame that can be turned co-op is Hot Cross Blocks. If each player works together to all get across by selecting different paths and calling out what path they chose so someone else doesn’t chose it also.

Thwomp the Difference, Gate Key-pers, Sled to the Edge, Treasure Divers are also minigames that can be played co-op.

Even if you’re playing 1-player you can still play co-op along as you have friends with you. Like in the Sleight of Shell minigame you can all watch for the right shell and be more likely to succeed.

In the Match! That! Item! minigame it’s good to try to remember what comes before the item you need. So you can press it then and spam the button to get the right item you need. For example, if you need a Super Star press the button at Yoshi’s Egg and then spam the button to get the Super Star.

In the Blame It on the Crane minigame for the team side it’s best to stay in the inner ring and move slowly until you get to the crane then speed past and repeat to survive in this minigame.

Tricks

It’s fun finding tricks in the game. We usually end up laughing when we find tricks that are basically pressing the “win” button, lol.

The Party Mode saves your progress every turn. You can use this to close and re-open the game to get the Jamboree Buddy you want. Because it saves there is a Jamboree Buddy but not which one.

In the Burger Builders minigame if you watch the light colored spots line up with the ring’s light colored spots. If you wait until they a line then you can get “Nice” every time.

In the Short Stack Chef minigame, if you watch closely, you can see a red circle that appears on the pancake. Wait for it to disappear completely before flipping it to get a “Nice”.

I hope you found these tips and tricks helpful. If you have any tips or tricks you want to list, feel free to list them in the comments below!

Super Mario Party Jamboree – Tips and Tricks brought to you by Gaming Chickadee

Chickadee loves to have family gaming days. She loves birds, unicorns, ponies She also likes the Nancy Drew Games. She loves to play as Princess Daisy in the Super Mario Games, Her favorite games change a lot but right they are: Mario Party Superstars, Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Pretty Princess Party.

Tips

Here is a list of some tips we’ve found in this game. Like tips on the best strategies to play the minigames and more.

In the Candy Shakedown minigame it’s best to get all the hard candy pieces out first then try the easer ones. The green and red ones are the hardest.

In the Don’t Wake Wiggler minigame, you can always pet them five times on the first round of turns.

In the minigame Drop Quiz if no one knows the answer to the last answer and nobody has fell yet you could try each standing on an answer.

In the River Survival mode, teamwork is essential. Make sure you and your teammates row in sync to avoid obstacles and collect extra time balloons. Minigames in River Survival help you earn time, so the better you perform, the longer you’ll survive.

As they always say “Pratice makes perfect”. Minigames are key to earning coins and gaining the upper hand in Mario Party. So to master the minigames, try out the Free Play mode to familiarize yourself with each type of game. Learn the controls for each minigame. Some require speed, others strategy or teamwork, so understanding how to approach different styles can give you an advantage.

In the Party modes before every turn, take a moment to check the board and the location of stars, rivals, and item shops. Choosing a strategic path can make a big difference in collecting stars and items.

Use items wisely like the Golden Pipe, which warps you near a star, or mushrooms to give you an extra movement boost. Save powerful items for critical moments.

Tricks

We’ve found some tricks in this game that can verry helpful. Although sometimes Foxy can be quite magic and do things that just don’t seem possible.

In the Croozin’ for a Broozin’ minigame there is sometimes a pattern on what pathway to use. In practice pay attention and see what’s the right path. For example, let’s say the right path in practice was red that means in the atrucal game it will be blue.

That means it will follow the pattern of red blue red blue until the pathways change colors then it will be red red blue blue and so on. The father you go the more the paths change color and then it keeps adding one to the pattern.

We have so much fun playing games and finding different tips and tricks, I hope my post helps. If you have any more tips or tricks to share, feel free to comment below!

Super Mario Party – Tips and Tricks brought to you by Gaming Chickadee

Chickadee loves to have family gaming days. She loves birds, unicorns, ponies She also likes the Nancy Drew Games.

How to bounce back after falling

Some people see the CPUs jumping back on stage like there’s nothing to it and so a lot of people ask HOW? and my answer is this.

Here is an easy way that you can do with most of the characters: Double jump then use Up Special to get back on. Although some characters may have trouble using that (like Jigglypuff) it’s still an easy way that works for most of the characters.

Some characters have good recovery after falling/bounce back to get on stage after being knocked off the stage. Like Zelda for example can keep teleporting onto the stage.

For the best recovery I would say that Meta Knight and Sheik have the best. Meta Knight’s Up Special can get you back on stage pretty good Sheik’s Up Special and Side Special works good to.

Although, Isabelle can use her fishing rod to get back on stage or even drag players off stage with her. Her Up Special can work good to.

Fastest and Strongest characters

The game has loads of characters to play as so you might ask “Which one is the best?” Well, best moveset, speed and strength are all good things to go for in this game.

It might be hard to pick just one based on all of those states, so just go with the one you like best. Some are really good at one thing but not so much the other, below is a list which I hope helps:

• Best moveset overall– That’s all a matter of opinion. My opinion is Peach/Daisy have the best overall moveset.
• Fastest– The best character for speed is of course Sonic the Hedgehog. He has some pretty good attacks, bounce back and smash attacks. My favorite move is probably his smash moves which I talk about more later.
• Strongest– The Strongest I would say is Bowser. He has strong attacks that easily send you flying.

Don’t forget about the “Smash” attacks!

Smash attacks are good attacks you can ush to easily blast someone off screen. Using the Right Control Stick and tilting it up, down or to the side it will do different attacks.

For example, Peach’s side smash attack is using a golf club and swinging it to launch someone off screen. But while hold the right stick, if you move the left stick up, it will become a frying pan and holding down makes it a tennis racket.

They are each a little different. The Golf Club has the farthest reach, the frying pan can launch the farthest and do the most damage. The tennis racket launches at a low angle, so if you’re waiting at the edge to make them fall it’s a good one to use.

Sonic has a really good up smash attack. His jumps up into a ball and attacks the player who is in reach. It’s really good for getting some good damage on someone.

She loves to play as Princess Daisy in the Super Mario Games, Her favorite games change a lot but right they are: Mario Party Superstars, Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Pretty Princess Party.

How to get coins fast

The Kung Fu Power up levels are the best when it comes to getting coins. You can get like 400 coins or more by playing a Kung Fu level so I can definitely recommend doing them if you need coins. The second best might be the Super-hero levels but the Kung Fu levels are THE best by a lot.

Well for Kung Fu levels you can get lots of coins throughout the level, below I highlighted the best ways to get a lot of coins at once:

A Kung Fu Tale: When breaking the shops. By the last shop there is a spot to pose that leads to a room with loads of coins.

A Kung Fu Legend: Before rescuing the first theet, pose using ZL or Zr to get into a secret room with lots of coins. After the fifth sparkle gem, use the poles and bars to swing up to a platform. Go into the room to get a whole lot of coins.

Tips and Tricks

Here are some tips and tricks I’ve listed below:

Is there any hidden tricks Peach can do? If you hold up while twirling you can aim it up.

How to 100% Peach showtime? By Finishing all the levels and bosses, collecting all the Sparkle Gems, Ribbons, Hidden Ninjas, getting the outfits for both Peach and Stella and decorating all the floors.

How long does it take to 100% Princess Peach: Showtime? Although it varies it’s around 15 to 16 hours to 100% the whole game.

What is the Easter egg in Princess Peach: Showtime? Well, there isn’t any things you can collect that’s really hidden that isn’t a collectable other than the Ballon Theet that can give you coins. Peach does do a little dance after popping the balloon or saving Hat Guy.

How do you pose in Princess Peach Showtime? By pressing ZL or ZR under a spotlight but only when Peach is transformed like Swordfighter or Cowgirl.

I Hope my tips and tricks for Princess Peach Showtime help! Feel free to comment below if you have any more tips, tricks or questions.

She loves to play as Princess Daisy in the Super Mario Games, Her favorite games change a lot but right they are: Mario Party Superstars, Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Pretty Princess Magical Garden Island.

Practice makes perfect. Like any game, practice makes perfect in Super Princess Peach. Keep honing your skills, learning from your mistakes, and finding new strategies to overcome obstacles.

Tips

Take your time, I’ve learned that the hard way sometimes. Super Princess Peach can be a challenging game, so don’t rush through levels. Take your time to explore, collect Toads or other collatable, and plan your moves carefully to succeed.

Collect all the Toads. Finding and rescuing all the Toads in each level can unlock hidden paths, power-ups, and even new abilities for Peach. Make sure to explore thoroughly to find them all.

Don’t forget about Perry! Peach’s parasol companion, Perry, can also be used to attack enemies, activate switches, and protect Peach from hazards. Don’t forget to use him strategically in your quest.

Make use of Peach’s emotions. Peach can use her different emotions (joy, rage, gloom, and calm) to access different abilities and powers. Experiment with these emotions to find the best strategies for each level.

Tricks

Blowing into the mic: Some minigames or parts of the levels want you to blow the mic. In Toad Jump it can be really hard to blow to make them jump at the right time but we tried tapping the mic and that works better then blowing! This trick can be used in any game that uses the mic. Like in Mario and Sonic London for example.

It’s also good to keep checking in with the shop to see what new things you can buy to help Peach. If you 100% clear the game, you can get Endless vibe which is SUPER Helpful in the levels.

Watch the bottom screen if Peach has a ! next to her that means there’s something in there like a Toad, Puzzle Peice or Music note.

Super Princess Peach Tips and Tricks brought to you by Gaming Chickadee

Chickadee loves to have family gaming days. She loves birds, unicorns, ponies She also likes the Nancy Drew Games. She loves to play as Princess Daisy in the Super Mario Games, Her favorite games change a lot but right they are: Mario Party Superstars, Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Pretty Princess Magical Garden Island.

For starters, bagging isn’t nearly as good on 200cc as it is on 150cc. Frontrunning works best for 200cc. Get in front as soon as possible and stay there to the finish line in 200cc.

This changes item strategy from critical use of mushrooms, stars, or red shells to basically just holding on to defensive items as much as possible in 200cc. Being toward the front of the pack means very few mushrooms, stars, or bullet bills.

Instead of items, the primary focus of 200cc is taking good racing lines to avoid hitting any walls or obstacles. Many times, just avoiding walls and obstacles is all that’s needed to win.

Avoiding the walls, or worse falling off the track, is easier said than done in 200cc. While I rarely use the brake in 150cc, braking is crucial in 200cc. I use it constantly throughout every race in 200cc.

Tapping the brake during drifts gives you just about as much control as the joystick during drifts in my experience. Holding the brake too long results in spinning out or losing the drift boost altogether.

In order to brake drift, start a drift then tap or hold the brake button. During this time you hold the drift with your index finger and accelerate button with your thumb. Then roll your thumb to tap or hold the brake button. This takes some practice but is a crucial skill for 200cc.

Items don’t play as important of a role in 200cc as they do in 150cc. Sure a red shell or well placed banana helps, but overall a 200cc race focuses on racing lines.

In my experience, many races I just get a defense item or two during the race. Avoiding bananas, shells, and obstacles consumes all my attention. I just check to see whether I got a trailing item or not.

In 200cc you can safely trail a bomb for protection. It’s rare but I’ve got caught in the explosion when I was going too slow. 200cc is so fast you can delay, or even put off being hit by a blue shell too.

In Moonview Highway, if you hit all the boost pads leading up to the finish line in 200cc a blue shell can’t catch you until after the finish line. Unfortunately, red shells can still catch you in 200cc.

The goal in most 200cc races is to not fall so far back to even get a red shell. Get in the lead an staying there is the objective in 200cc. A mushroom or red shell is no substitute for good driving.

Good driving involves frequent use of shortcuts. There are shortcuts in every track. Many require mushrooms but some don’t. Some that require a mushroom in 150cc can be done without one in 200cc.

For example, the waterfall shortcut in Yoshi Circuit. In 200cc you need a orange boost and a trick to jump the gap. No mushroom required.

Many of the 200cc shortcuts take practice since the timing and aim is very precise. Of course, racing any track in 200cc requires practice. Once you get comfortable driving in 200cc start trying the shortcuts. Start with the easier ones and work up to the harder ones.

Winning at 200cc requires different skills vs winning at 150cc. Driving skills matter more for 200cc than 150cc. Item management matters less for 200cc than 150cc.

Good driving at 200cc takes a lot of practice. I recommend not switching between 150cc and 200cc until you consistently win at 200cc.

Generous use of brake drifting is crucial in 200cc. At times canceling a drift boost or avoiding a trick boost actually helps in 200cc. It takes a lot of practice to learn when and when not to drift in 200cc.

The first time playing on 200cc is intimidating. It’s easy to fly off the track or constantly bounce off walls. While braking is rarely used in 150cc, it’s required for almost every turn in 200cc.

Keep practicing. Learning each track takes months of practice. Get comfortable holding the accelerate button while tapping the brake button at the same time during drifts. This gives you more control for taking good racing lines.

The better lines you take the less you bounce off walls, hit obstacles, or need to slow down coming out of a turn. Taking good racing lines is the primary skill for winning at 200cc.
