******************************************************************************

UPDATE - FEB 28, 2018: I've entered the speculated Dates from the Extra Leaks (thank you Mayorse!!). Do note that some of the tsums, if not all of the tsums, coming out in March are stated to be Limited tsums. In the general sense, they all are limited since they're not all readily available in the premium boxes anymore, and are on rotation. There will definitely be some tsums that will come out less frequently than other tsums in the upcoming months, and may even come out once or twice a year at most, but in the end, tsum tsum has been pretty good at releasing old tsums so that new players can get them too.

Thank you to andriaia for creating a calendar summary which you can find here: March Calendar.


******************************************************************************

Ahoy matey! March is looking to be a treasure hunt! For sunken treasure in the game, and literally for the leaked info such as dates! =)

As there are no dates currently known, and as I usually write my blogposts chronologically, I will be structuring this post differently.


New Tsums & Tidbits & Tentative Schedule: 

March 1 to March 4, 2018

• Pirate Mickey - he is going to be a limited time tsum! Pirate Mickey's ability shoots out 3 cannon balls which lands of course in a shape of a Mickey! The 3 cannon balls will clear the center of tsums at once, clearing around 21 to 23 tsums at Skill 1 and clearing around 26 to 30 tsums at Skill 6. As other special tsums, as you skill up Pirate Mickey, the less you need to fill up his skill meter, decreasing from 19 required at skill 1 to 15 required at skill 5 and 6, making it easier to activate his skill more frequently during the game! 

Tidbit: When firing his cannon balls, Pirate Mickey does end up popping any bubbles that are within reach of where the cannon balls fall. It does create a score bubble though, and if you pop the score bubble during fever time, it will help improve your fever score which ultimately adds to your overall score for the game. 

• Pirate Stitch - he will also be a limited time tsum! Pirate Stitch is a fun tsum, as I watch his animation. When his skill is activated, Pirate Stitch juggles three swords into the air, and as the swords fall, Pirate Stitch will run away and the swords will fall down the screen and clear 3 separate vertical lines of tsums! Of course as he skills up more, the more tsums he clears.

• Pirate Clarice - she will be a limited time tsum. When her skill is activated, she calls Pirate Chip and Pirate Dale to shoot and clear random tsums on the screen, sort of like Princess Leia but not as powerful. As you skill her up, Pirate Chip and Pirate Dale do take out more random tsums. 

Tidbit: Pirate Clarice would be an excellent tsum to use for missions that require you to get a high combo. It's extremely helpful for those who don't have Holiday Donald or regular Donald. She only needs 13 to fill her skill meter, making it easy to activate her ability during the game, especially when using 5-to-4 boost.


March 17 to March 20, 2018

• Young Jack Sparrow - he has a fun ability, but it does require an extra step from you. Young Jack Sparrow's ability when activated showcases a compass with a rotating needle. Once you tap on the needle in the compass, it will clear a straight line along the direction that the needle is pointing! 

Tidbit: Turn on gyro when using Young Jack Sparrow as your MyTsum! Your game play will be similar to Beast.With gyro turned on and your device tilted to the right at around the 1 o'clock position, your tsums will fall on a slant. When the spinning red needle on the compass moves to the 1 o'clock to 2 o'clock spot, tap on it and it will clear the tsums along the slant! Since it's on a slant, you are able to clear more tsums! Check out Seiji's video on how this works!! Best part is that it only takes 14 to fill up his skill meter, which means he is already much easier to coin farm with than Beast at lower levels. Just need to practice tapping on the needle at the right moment to maximize the number of tsums cleared and thus the number of coins gained!

• Salazar - his ability summons a ghost shark that clears 3 diagonal lines of tsums! 

Tidbit: Turn on gyro when using Salazar as your MyTsum! Tilt your phone to the 11 o'clock position, which will cause your tsums to fall on a slant to the left. When you activate Salazar's skill, it will maximize the number of tsums cleared! Seiji's video show this trick!


March 29 to April 1, 2018 - LAST Lucky Time for Pirate Mickey, Pirate Clarice, Pirate Stitch, Young Jack Sparrow, and Salazar.


Pickup Capsules - UPDATE: You need a total of 900,000 coins!!

Tidbit: It's nice to get all the capsules to get the coveted skill tickets. Though the two capsules a month is really getting out of hand, especially with all the new tsums coming out. So I leave it to your discretion on whether you'd like to get all the capsules. The new tsums look to be promising so I'm torn on which one is more worth your hard earned coins. Pickup Capsule #1 is useful in getting some of the limited tsums that came out in past events, and Pickup Capsule #2 is useful only to get Scrooge for coin farming.

March 5 to March 8, 2018 - Pickup Capsule # 1 will include Rabbit, Bunny Pooh, Bunny Tigger, and Bumblebee Pooh! It has the following 15 tsums, so you will need 450,000 coins to clear the pickup capsule:

• Bumblebee Pooh x 2
• Bunny Tigger x 2
• Bunny Pooh x 2
• Rabbit x 2
• Stitch x 2
• Angel x 2
• Lilo x 3
• Skill Ticket x 1 to use on any tsum you wish to skill up!

March 21 to March 24, 2018 - Pickup Capsule # 2 will include Nick Wilde, Judy Hopps, Maleficent, Pete, and Scrooge. It has another 15 tsums, so you will need 450,000 coins again to clear this pickup capsule to get the skill ticket at the end:

• Maleficent x 1
• Scrooge x 3
• Princess Aurora x 1
• Rapunzel x 3
• Judy Hopps x 2
• Nick Wild x 2
• Randall x 2
• Pete x 1
• Skill Ticket x 1 to use on any tsum you wish to skill up!

There is a select box of 12 specific tsums, a concept of which I'm not familiar with at this time. The picture shows that it will have Elizabeth Swann, Jack Sparrow, and Davy Jones in the mix! I had mention some of their abilities in my post last April (oh my, how time flies!).

UPDATE - FEB 28, 2018: There will be two Select Box of 12 Tsums!! Please note these are estimated start, but the end dates should be correct.

Select Box #1 - March 13 to March 16, 2018 @ 11:59PM will include the following 12 tsums:

• Romance Belle
• Wonderland Alice
• Young Elsa
• MU Mike (MU = Monsters University)
• Romance Ariel
• Belle 
• King Triton
• Marie
• Baymax
• Pinocchio
• Pascal
• Jessie

Tidbit: It's actually worth trying to get many of the tsums in Select Box #1 because there are a number of limited tsums not readily available in it such as Romance Ariel, Romance Belle, Young Elsa, Wonderland Alice, and MU Mike. I do highly recommend trying for this Select Box if you haven't gotten Baymax yet because his ability will help you a lot for many of the missions during events and Bingo cards. 

Select Box #2 - March 25 to March 28, 2018 @ 11:59PM will include the following 12 tsums:

• Jack Sparrow
• Elizabeth Swann
• Davy Jones
• Conductor Mickey
• Jiminy Cricket
• Genie
• Elsa
• Angel
• Mater
• Lotso
• Queen of Hearts
• Fairy Godmother

Tidbit: The tsums that are highly recommended in Select Box #2 are Jack Sparrow, Conductor Mickey, and Genie though I may be biased on this last tsum, since I love the Genie tsum for its random plays.



Pirate's Treasure Hunt Event ~ March 7, 2018 to March 25, 2018

There looks to be 5 cards altogether, with each card containing pieces of the map hidden amongst a number of missions. It sounds like the 5 cards gives 5 different maps given the missions laid out here, as each card at the end contains a treasure chest that is only revealed after the map is completed. The Treasure Chest Game showcases a number of coins in capsules which you can only attain by popping the bubbles next to them. After completing the 5 cards, you will get a Silver Pin. More info on the rewards can be seen here after completing the 5 cards: Reddit summary post.

Tidbit: Pirate Clarice, Pirate Mickey, and Pirate Stitch will give you character bonuses to help you complete the missions faster/easier. Though it is noted that for certain mission conditions, the three new tsums may not give a character bonus...

Tidbit: After you complete the 5 cards, a difficult 6th card will appear as a bonus to get the Gold Pin.

Tidbit: There is a mission assist button should you have difficulty in completing the mission. This feature takes rubies away from you though, so I would highly advise being very cautious in using this feature unless you really have been stuck on a mission for at least 30 games of play, and yet are just short of being able to complete the mission. I would suggest asking for help on Reddit or here, and trying different tsums first before finally giving into using this option for the event...


It looks to be another exciting pack-filled month in the tsum tsum world! Good luck to everyone in your Lucky Times, Select Boxes, Event missions, and Pickup Capsules!

Happy Tsuming! =)

Side note: 

Thank you to everyone who has been so patient with me. My back has been causing me problems in the last two months, making it really difficult for me to sit for long periods of time. I am speechless and beyond thankful to everyone who continues to come back to check for updates and news. Thank you everyone! When I first created this blog, it was to help keep track of what's happening in the tsum-filled months and to summarize all the information I find about the tsums and game plays in one area so that it was easy to refer back to. I see that on Reddit, the leaks are coming out differently and are harder to dig up, so I am grateful Loserbait and Mayorse has continued to put in the time to find these hard-to-find sunken treasures to share with all of us! Since Loserbait has been summarizing all the findings in the one post on Reddit, I am wondering if you all would still like me to continue to post up these monthly summaries and updates? I really do want to help the tsum tsum community as much as I can and if this blog continues to be helpful in a way that I'm not aware of that adds to the Reddit summary post, I would be honored to continue to write out the updates as I have been before. Please let me know your thoughts. I would love to hear your insights and if there are things that I can do differently, feel free to let me know and I can see what I can do to provide additional value for you all.

Thank you again to all my readers. I am so moved that you continue to seek this blog for your tsum-fill fun and updates. Thank you!!! =)
