Disney Storybooks event - Extra Book: Cinderella!!

Mission #1: Use a princess Tsum to clear 36 Score Bubbles in total.

Here, Moana is great to use because every Moana tsum that the stingray passes over in the animation turns into a score bubble! Happy Rapunzel would also be a fantastic one to use on this mission as she clears a big area once activated. Note: It takes at least 15 tsums to be cleared before a score bubble will be created. If you can clear at least 21 tsums with a princess tsum, you're golden because you'll always create a score bubble then. 


Mission #2: Clear 1,200 MyTsum in total. 

The best one to use is Oswald for this mission if you have him from the bingo cards, as his ability is to change the whole screen to Oswalds. As mentioned in my previous post, Gaston is fantastic to use for this type of mission once you get a hang of activating his skill immediately while tsums are trying to fall down on the screen. It's oddly satisfying when your screen is full of Gaston tsums. Another tsum you can use is Summer Olaf which clears all the Olafs (both existing and falling) when his skill is activated. Using Summer Olaf with 5>4 boost will help you activate his skill faster. Genie, Little Oyster, and Sully would also be useful for this mission as well!!


Mission #3: Pop 3 Star Bubbles in 1 play. 

Maximus is great for this mission. When I tilt my phone to the right (1 o'clock position), the tsums make a nice slant that Maximus can clear. I get quite a number of star bubbles I noticed when I was trying to get score bubbles on one of the other missions. Note: A star bubble needs at least 11 tsums to be cleared. According to Disney Tsum Tsum Wiki, ideal number of tsums to clear for star bubbles look to be 13 to 15 tsums. In this case, if you have a tsum that can clear a smaller number of tsums (at skill 2 perhaps), then this would be a useful tsum for this mission. You can even try with a Happiness Tsum if your premium tsums are too powerful.  


Mission #4: Clear 24 Big Tsum Tsum in total. 

Sully and regular Baymax are golden for this mission. This is also a great mission to stay on for coin farming for the second pickup capsule that is coming up a few days after the event closes on April 27th, as any MyTsums will have giant tsums fall that you will be able to clear. It will take a while longer to complete the mission but at least with your coin farming tsum, you'll be making a profit as well. Reminder: there are 20 tsums in the second pickup capsule so you'll need 600,000 coins prepared to clear the capsule for the skill ticket in the end. 

Mission #5: Use a Tsum with red cheeks to get 3,500,000 points in 1 play. 

Any tsum with a high enough skill level with rosy cheeks can satisfy this mission. If ou're relatively new to the game, to know what the base number is required for you to hit during the gameplay, divide 3,500,000 by (1 + %) with % being your game bonus depending on your game level. For example, I have a 26% bonus at level 239, so I need to hit

3,500,000/(1+0.26) = approximately 2.8 million points

to be able to pass this mission after the score bonus is added on top of my raw score.

Mission #6: Clear 210 brown Tsum Tsum in 1 play. 

This one is a bit tough. I am lucky to have a Skill 6 Beast so I was able to use it to clear the mission, as Beast's swipe clears most of the screen letting more tsums to fall down. The idea is to find a brown tsum that is easy and quick to activate and if it can clear a good chunk of the screen that'd be great! The other possibility is Moana if you have her at a high skill and thus can clear a large area with a quick turnaround for refilling her skill meter. Valentine Minnie may also help since she calls Valentine Mickey in the game both are brown tsums that can be cleared together.

Mission #7: Pop 15 Time Bubbles in total. 

Cinderella is a fantastic tsum to have at Skill 3 at least. Time bubbles optimally appear when you link 9 to 12 tsums together in a chain, and at Skill 3, Cinderella allows you to only link up to 9 tsums together. I'm not very good with using Cinderella but each game I am able to make 4 to 6 time bubbles. Those who are great at making time bubbles can keep their game going for a long time and thus rack up an extremely high score. Make sure to clear the bubbles at the bottom of the screen as they hinder your chain-linking from reaching 12 and thereby prevent you from maximizing your ability to create time bubbles during game play. Other tsums that can help you in this mission includes chain tsums such as Aladdin, Mulan, Flynn Rider, and bubble creating tsums as Miss Bunny and Genie. Note: if you don't have Cinderella at Skill 3 at the bare minimum, you may want to consider using skill tickets to get her to Skill 3. If you can get time bubbles better with another tsum, definitely keep that tsum at that skill level. After I skilled up Thumper, he didn't make as many time bubbles for me, so I depended more on Cinderella afterwards to help me clear the time bubble missions. 

Mission #8: Use a Tangled Tsum to earn 1,900 Coins in 1 play.

I would use your highest Tangled Tsum for this mission - don't forget regular Rapunzel, Bride Rapunzel, and Pascal also count as Tangled Tsums! Special note: If you don't have this page bookmarked, you may want to: Reddit Chain-to-Coins Chart Summary. This page shows the longer the chain, the more coins you'll be able to attain. Try using it with Flynn Rider as he will yield a character bonus that may help you clear this mission. Both Happy Rapunzel and Maximus can clear this mission once you get them to skill 3 and if you're having a bit of trouble, try using the 5>4 boost to help activate their skill faster. If you use the 5>4 boost, I recommend using the 500 coin boost because you never known when your game may yield the coveted 50x coin bonus. 

Mission #9: Use a Tsum with eyebrows to clear 200 MyTsum in 1 play. 

Gaston, Summer Olaf, Genie, Little Oyster, and Sully would also be useful for this mission. Oswald doesn't have eyebrows as it turns out so he isn't able to help you in this mission. Another possible tsum that may help if you have him at Skill 5 at least is Beast! For this mission, I used Happy Rapunzel and managed to clear 157 Happy Rapunzels. The character bonus gave me another 62, boosting me to 219 MyTsums cleared. 

Mission #10: Pop 228 Magical Bubbles in total. 

You can use Moana, Marie, or Miss Bunny for this mission. Use the tsum that creates the most bubbles (higher skill) and that has the least required for filling up their skill meter. 

Mission #11: Use a girl Tsum to get 4,000,000 points in 1 play.

Any girl tsum that is quick to activate, that is at a high score level (closest to level 50), and that has a high skill level would be able to get this. If you're having a bit of trouble, try using 5>4 boost and score boost. Note: use the formula I posted above to find out what minimum score you need to achieve before your game % bonus kicks in to be able to achieve the 4 million points in the single game. Also important note is that the character bonus is quite substantial for the new tsums. I used Happy Rapunzel and I got a 50% character bonus on my score after my game bonus kicked in. 

Mission #12: Use a Tangled Tsum to enter fever 8 times in 1 play. 

For this mission, use the Tangled tsum that is the highest skill and fastest to activate for you. Using the new Tangled tsums will help you get character bonuses. It looks like they will give a 2 character bonus so you need to be able to at least activate fever time 6 times in one game with your chosen Tangled MyTsum. Try using the extra time boost, and if that doesn't give you enough time, use 5>4 boost to be able to activate the skill faster so it sends you into fever time faster. If you're ending fever time and you have a full skill meter, wait before you hit the meter to activate the skill. This method will help you minimize the amount of regular game play and maximize the amount of time you can get for fever play, which adds 5 seconds to the clock itself.

Mission #13: Pop 18 Coin Bubbles in total. 

Coin bubbles require 13 to 20 tsums to be cleared, ideally in the range between 16 to 18. Any tsum that has Small or Medium clearance size would work, so around Skill 2 to 3 depending on the tsum. Having said this, I used Miss Bunny as I'm not very good at creating different types of bubbles through chaining and many of my tsums are higher than Skill 3, so more often than not I get score bubbles instead of the coin bubble. 

Mission #14: Use a Tsum with eyelashes to use 13 Skills in 1 play. 

Marie, Moana (at a high skill level), and Jasmine are good candidates to help you with this mission. You want to have a relatively low requirement for filling up the tsum's skill meter so that you can activate it as quickly as you can. Moana worked wonders for me since it created a lot of bubbles and thus helped lengthen the game with all the fevers I went into by popping the bubbles. 

Mission #15: Clear 880 Tsum Tsum in 1 play. 

Any high skill tsum that you use for your weekly high score should be used for this mission.

Mission #16: Enter fever 60 times in total.

Lumiere, Parade Mickey, and Parade Tinkerbell are ideal to use in this mission. The trick I've found useful is to fill the skill meter but don't hit it until you're already in fever time. This increases the number of fever times registered. If you're still in fever time and you filled up the skill meter and there's still plenty of fever time left, activate it. The only time I use the tsum's skill to go into fever time is when I'm running out of time in the game and I want to add another 5 seconds to see if I can fill the meter up one more time to activate before the game ends. 

Mission #17: Pop 5 Time Bubbles in 1 play. 

Cinderella. Learn how to use her. She is an amazing asset for these time bubble missions. If you don't have her at least at skill 3, you will need to wait patiently for Miss Bunny or even Genie to give you enough time bubbles during the game before clearing this mission. 

I managed to get 13 time bubbles,which is a new record for me. It took a lot of practice and patience before I was able to reach this milestone. =)

Yay!!!

Mission #18: Use a princess Tsum Tsum to get 5,000,000 points in 1 play.

As per Mission #11: Any princess tsum that is quick to activate (e.g. Moana and Happy Rapunzel at a high skill level, Jasmine), that is at a high score level (closest to level 50), and that has a high skill level (closest to skill 6) would be able to get this. If you're having a bit of trouble, try using 5>4 boost and score boost. Note: use the formula I posted above to find out what minimum score you need to achieve before your game % bonus kicks in to be able to achieve the 5 million points in the single game. Again like last time, the character bonus is quite substantial for the new tsums. I used Happy Rapunzel and I got a 50% character bonus on my score after my game bonus kicked in. 

My score was only 4.5 Million. But after the character bonus with Happy Rapunzel...

I got 2.2 Million (50% bonus) to increase my score way beyond the 5 Million requirement. Yay!!

I hope the tidbits helped you. If you have any questions, feel free to write in the comments and I will try my best to help where I can.

Good luck and Happy Tsuming everyone! =D

April 2018 brings Disney Storybooks!

UPDATE - April 14, 2018

I hope you're all enjoying the event so far. I only had time to start the event this past week and I found there are a few tidbits that may help you complete the regular missions a little easier:

Tidbit#1: When you get the Treasure box mission, multiple treasure boxes will fall during the game. A maximum of 5 treasure boxes can be obtained each time. I highly recommend using Cruz Ramirez because she clears a good chunk of the tsums on the screen, which helps get the treasure boxes to fall down quicker during the game. If you don't have her at a high skill level, I highly recommend to use some skill tickets on her as I've been able to get all 5 of the Treasure boxes each time I hit this mission and use Cruz.

Tidbit#2: When you need to clear a lot of MyTsums, try using Gaston. Gaston is a bit tricky to use and I would say I'm average to maybe a bit under average when using him. The trick that I've used to clear the most MyTsums with Gaston is to save a few bubbles at the bottom of the screen. Try to activate Gaston as fast as you can (using 5>4 boost helps here) and once activated, pop all the bubbles at the bottom of the screen, so the Gastons can start falling to the top of the tsum pile. Try to clear all the Gastons that have fallen and make a bubble but don't pop it. Once the next batch of Gastons fall, link all of them and hold the link until the screen goes from the red hue to normal game mode and then release your hold of the linked Gastons. It will fill his skill meter again in which case press it as soon as you can even though there looks to be a hole in your screen. Gaston's fire with his musket won't clear many tsums in the horizontal plane but it will fill that giant hole in the screen with Gastons quite quickly. Link all the Gastons as fast as you can and pop the bubble you had made earlier to get more Gastons to fall down as soon as possible. Then link the Gastons and hold until it goes from red to normal screen and release. Meter fills up, activate immediately, and the whole cycle repeats again.

Here I tried to activate Gaston as quickly as I can before other tsums started falling. This maximizes the number of Gaston tsums on my screen. Using the bubbles at the bottom of the screen, I can make the tsums fall faster, so during this red phase, it drops more Gastons before it turns normal. Once it's normal game mode, it drops other tsums which is what I'm trying to avoid. When it turns normal, and if I have many Gastons on the screen, it makes it a lot easier to activate Gaston's skill again.

End result from the strategy described above.

Tidbit#3: There is a mission that says "Use a black Tsum to clear 5 Time Bubbles in total". I played around with a few of my black tsums and the one that worked the best for me was Sorcerer Mickey. I do have a higher skill Sorcerer Mickey but there is still a way that you can create time bubbles, which requires you to clear 9 to 16 tsums. According to Disney Tsum Tsum Wiki for Sorcerer Mickey, the strategy to getting larger burst areas is to time your taps to when the little Mickey silhouette points. The little Mickey silhouette is located on the bottom left corner. Other people have been successful with this mission using Conductor Mickey and Aladdin as well. The different types of Minnies may also help because you can make chains with them so if you make chains of 9 to 16 tsums, you may get a time bubble. If you're going to use Minnie, try to make chains of 9 to 12 for better odds of getting a time bubble!

I managed to get 4 time bubbles each game I played with Sorcerer Mickey for this mission.

Do you have any missions that you had difficulty with? Did you find a tsum that you didn't know could help you clear one of the missions? I did learn from the missions that Happy Rapunzel doesn't count as a burst tsum, so be careful of that.

I hope I can do the difficult card and if I can, I will be back with another update for it!

Happy Tsuming and good luck! =)


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

The Leaks have finally been found! Thank you Mayorse (and Loserbait) for all your hard work, especially since the creators of Tsum Tsum decided to encrypt the files this time to try and thwart our leak addiction!!! Your hard work is always appreciated. Thank you!! =)

A calendar summary has been shared about what to expect by andriaia, Thank you!


April looks to be bringing Disney Storybooks to the International game! This is what's coming up around the riverbend:

• April 2 to April 5, 2018 - Lucky Time for Flynn Rider, Happy Rapunzel, and Maximus!

Tidbit: Flynn Rider's ability summons regular Rapunzel, which can be linked together with Flynn to make long chains. When his ability is activated, the animation shows the lantern floating up between Rapunzel and Flynn as in the beautiful boat scene in the movie, and when the lantern pauses in the center, it changes the tsums to Rapunzels! After you link the Rapunzel tsums with Flynn Rider tsums, they disappear into lots of golden hearts. By calling Rapunzel, this likely means that using Flynn's ability also levels up Rapunzel in the background, just as using Birthday Anna (which summons Surprise Elsa) also secretly levels up your Surprise Elsa in the background of the game!

Tidbit: Happy Rapunzel is a time limited tsum and one I think that is worth getting skilled up!! Happy Rapunzel's ability allows you to connect different tsums together just like regular Rapunzel, but after you connect the random tsums, the surrounding tsums gets cleared too! When her ability is activated, a beautiful animation appears: Rapunzel's golden hair frames the top and bottom parts of the screen, and whichever direction of tsums you connect, a beautiful golden sun would emerge and clear the surrounding tsums! This limited time tsum has a funny trick on the iPhones only (from what I could gather from watching the video) where when you swipe across the screen, before you let go, you hit the fan and the tsums will fly and roll around. After you hit the fan a few times to spread the tsums you've highlighted around and then let go of your hold on the screen, it clears a bigger area! This is especially useful for when you have a lower skill level Happy Rapunzel! Though I caution getting too used to this trick in your game play since we don't know when in a future update they would change it to be like on the Androids' version where the fan doesn't work when holding the swipe. Check out Seiji's trick video here to see what I mean! I only linked the video at 2:20 since I wanted to show you the jist but feel free to watch the whole video if you wish! The best way to use Happy Rapunzel is just to swipe diagonally upwards across the screen so that more tsums get a chance to be cleared. One more important thing: the higher you skill up Happy Rapunzel, the less is required to activate her skill!!

Tidbit: When Maximus' ability is activated, you see his animated character carrying a sword and clearing a diagonal line of tsums from the bottom left to the upper right hand corner of your screen. It looks like Seiji advises turning on your gyro and tilting your phone to the 1 o'clock position during game play. It is noticed that his ability doesn't pop bubbles that happens to be in the pathway of the sword swipe. Just like Happy Rapunzel, the higher you skill up Maximus, the less is required to activate his skill! 

• April 6 to April 9, 2018 - 1st Pickup Capsule will have 15 tsums (needs 450,000 coins!) and will include the following tsums:

• Parade Tinkerbell x 2
• MU Mike x 1
• Carl x 1
• Wall-E x 1
• Romance Ariel x 2
• Baymax x 2
• Scuttle x 2
• Abu x 2
• Dumbo x 2
• Skill Ticket x 1 to use on any tsum of your choosing!

Tidbit: For those who are new and who don't have many of the tsums in the first pickup capsule, this may be one that you should spend coins in. Many of these tsums are time limited tsums that don't normally come out in the premium box rotations. For the more mature players, you may do well to skip this first pickup capsule and save the coins for the second pickup capsule.

• [UPDATE on START DATE] April 4 to April 24, 2018 - Disney Storybooks Event! There are 4 storybooks altogether. Each storybook has a different map. You will need to clear the missions on the map to move through the story! During the gameplay, a treasure chest may appear. Hit it with your tsum's ability or pop a bubble next to it to get the treasure chest. At the end of your game, I believe the treasure chest will reveal what item or coins you attained. Clear a mission with a key and it unlocks another book. After completing the 4 storybooks, you get a silver pin! But that's not all. A difficult Extra Book will appear, and if you manage to complete it, you get a Gold pin! Like previous events, when you use the new tsums (Happy Rapunzel, Flynn Rider, Maximus, Pocahontas, and Mulan), you get character bonuses that makes the missions a bit easier to complete. Mission Assist is also available in the event, but this time, it is only available for the difficult Extra Book! I would caution on using the Mission Assists since they do require you to use up 10 rubies before the mission becomes easier. I guess this is their way of getting more revenue from the ruby purchases. If you do purchase rubies, they do have a 20% bonus going on 2x this next month! A good overview of the Disney Storybooks event can be found here: Disney Tsum Tsum Wiki. 

• April 12 to April 15, 2018 - Lucky Time for Pocahontas and Mulan!!

Tidbit: Mulan's ability is to summon Ping, which can be linked together with Mulan to make long chains! (In case you don't know who Ping is, Ping is Mulan pretending to be a young man in order to be able to take her father's place in the army against the Huns. She had done this in order to keep her father from re-entering the army in his old age. If you haven't watched it, you should watch it! It's a bit of a tear-jerker for me... ok back to your regular programming!) When Mulan's ability is activated, the surrounding tsums gets turned into Ping, and as Mulan is skilled up, the number of tsums that get transformed into Ping increases. By Skill 6, most if not all the surrounding tsums get transformed into Ping and you can make some really long chains as a result!

Tidbit: Pocahontas' ability is similar to Bumblebee Pooh's! When activated, she stops time for a short duration and all the chains that you link during this pause would clear as 1 large chain! Her base number is quite high, requiring 25 before you can fully charge her skill meter. Luckily, as you skill her up, her base number decreases down to 20 to activate her skill meter. Her time limit is quite a bit shorter than Bumblebee Pooh's too, starting at 2.5 seconds before moving up to 5 seconds at Skill 6. One thng I do notice while watching Seiji play Pocahontas vs. Bumblebee Pooh is that he seems to clear a lot more with Pocahontas though I'm not sure if it's because his playing style changed over time. In Disney Tsum Tsum Wiki, they did mention that when time stops, Pocahontas is able to connect tsums together that would usually be deemed too far to connect otherwise. I'm not sure if it's true, so please let us know after you try her gameplay if this claim is true!

• April 20 to April 23, 2018 - LAST Lucky Time for Happy Rapunzel, Flynn Rider, Maximus, Pocahontas, and Mulan!

• April 27 to April 30, 2018 - 2nd Pickup Capsule has 20 tsums (you need 600,000 coins!) and will include the following tsums: 

• Happy Rapunzel x 1 !!!
• Cruz Ramirez x 2
• Jet Pack Alien x 2
• Scrooge x 3
• Prince x 2
• Snow White x 2
• Wonderland Alice x 2
• Mad Hatter x 1
• Queen of Hearts x 1
• Mater x 2
• Genie x 2
• Skill Ticket x 1 to use on any tsum of your choosing!

Tidbit: This is a really good pickup capsule to save and spend your coins on because you'll guarantee to get Happy Rapunzel, Scrooge, Queen of Hearts, Cruz Ramirez, Genie and a skill ticket at the end once you clear it! The mentioned tsums are good coin farmers for the average player without too much skill required. Genie is also a great catch because it helps make your missions more fun to complete due to the variations he surprises you with!

It looks to be another fun month ahead of us! Lots of coins required for sure, so keep farming those coins! 

As a side note, I really want to thank everyone for all your encouragement and support!!! I was and still am quite blown away at how many people like reading these blog posts and I'm super grateful that these posts have been useful additions to the leaks and posts on Reddit. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart! Thank you!

Good luck on your Lucky Times, Pickup Capsules, and Disney Storybooks event!!!

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

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!!! =)

Apologies for January

Thank you to everyone who has been concerned and who continues to review this blog for summaries of what is happening in the next month for Tsum Tsum! I am beyond grateful for all your well wishes. Thank you!

Unfortunately, I have been quite sick in the last month and have been trying to take some time to get back on my feet and healthy again. Great new years resolution right? =) I'm slowly making progress but it looks like it will take a little longer than I had hoped. I hope to be back up later this month and be able to help out with February's tsum tsum summary.

Thank you everyone for your continued support in this blog! I am truly grateful for all your encouragement and friendship. =)

Also, Happy New Year everyone! I wish you all a new year full of love, laughter, and good health!

Christmas and Baymax 2.0 are in Town!

[Chipmunks:]
Christmas, Christmas time is near
Time for toys and time for cheer
We've been good, but we can't last
Hurry Christmas, hurry fast

Well, it's that time of year again! Christmas!

There looks to be some trouble finding information for this month's tsum tsum fun but here are some of the leaks that have been able to surface (Thank you Mayorse as always!).

Known Timeline: please note that the 2nd and 3rd lucky time start dates are estimates

• December 1 to December 4, 2017 - Lucky Time for Baymax 2.0 and Hiro!

Tidbit: Baymax 2.0 clears a horizontal section of tsum tsum with his rocket punch. From the video, it looks like he can be quite a good coin farming tsum as well. Baymax 2.0 is a limited time tsum that will not be available after December 31st! So try and get this limited time tsum!

Tidbit: Hiro flies in a sideways v-arc across the screen on armored-up Baymax's back, clearing the tsums they travel pass. Hiro is also a limited time tsum that will not be available after December 31st! So try and get this limited time tsum during the lucky times!

• December 5 to December 25 - Snow Festival Event! The idea of the event looks to be gathering as many snowflakes as you can to make the 9 snow domes. Once a snow dome is complete, you'll receive a prize! A silver pin is available at the end of the event.
• There are two types of hearts shown in the heart meter during this event: hearts that are half covered in snow and Ice Hearts. 
• Tidbit: Ice Hearts will cause more snowflakes to fall!
• Tidbit: There are 3 Chance Times in a day at which point the Ice Hearts appear at triple the rate! Chance Times will occur at the following times:
• 6AM to 7AM PST
• 5PM to 6PM PST
• 9PM to 10PM PST

• December 5 to December 14 - Only Cards 1 to 5 are available!
• December 15 to December 25 - All Cards available to play and complete!
• As usual, the new tsums for this month will give character bonuses that will help you clear the Snow Festival Event faster!

• December 11 to December 14 - Lucky Time for Baymax 2.0 and Hiro!
• December 27 to December 29 - LAST Lucky Time for Baymax 2.0 and Hiro!

IMPORTANT NOTE: There are 3 pickup capsules this month! Two of the Three are known to have 15 capsules. Assuming that the 3rd pickup capsule has 20 capsules as the worst possible scenario:

15 + 15 + 20 = 50 x 30,000 coins = 1.5 Million coins needed!!

Two of the Three pickup capsules have no dates specified. According to the Reddit note and the few leaks, it is assumed that these are the pickup capsules to come:

Pickup Capsule #1: Picture Leak

Known to have 15 capsules so need 450,000 coins.

What is special about this first pickup capsule is that this one has Scrooge!!

Tidbit: Scrooge clears a vertical line of tsums and earns the players lots of coins! Furthermore, he only needs 14 skill tickets (after the initial box open) to max his skill up! So save up your skill tickets for Scrooge! As he skills up, the more coins he gains!!

Check out the videos for each of his skill levels from Seiji!

Skill 2   vs   Skill 4   vs   Skill 6 

Needless to say, Skill 6 Scrooge looks to be a great coin farmer!

Pickup Capsule #2: Picture Leak - Assuming to be available December 22 to December 25!!

Known to have 15 capsules so need 450,000 coins.

This one we know which tsums are going to be present:

• Holiday Mickey x 3
• Holiday Minnie x 3
• Holiday Donald x 2
• Holiday Daisy x 3
• Holiday Pluto x 2
• Holiday Goofy x 2

Pickup Capsule #3: Picture Leak

Unknown number of capsules. Assuming the worst scenario of 20 capsules, try to have 600,000 coins!

What is special about this third pickup capsule is that there are Star Wars tsums in it!! The pickup capsule will include R2-D2, Princess Leia, Rey, Kylo Ren, and C-3PO at least! 

A good summary of the event and tsums for December can be found in this Reddit Thread. It looks like updates as more information are found would be posted here.

Good luck everyone and Happy Tsuming!

November 2017 is All About Pixar!

Pixar is coming! Pixar is coming!!

I am super excited about this month because new Pixar tsums are coming as well as a weekend to celebrate Mickey's birthday (though a couple weeks early) in November!


The Leaks - Thank you Mayorse!!! (Reddit Link)

Important Tidbit: The new Pixar Tsums are all available for a limited time except for Cruz Ramirez who will continue to be in the premium boxes after November.

• Nov 1 to Dec 1 - Login Bonuses in celebration of Mickey's Birthday!!

• Nov 1 to 4 - Lucky Time for Cruz Ramirez, MU Mike, and Jet Pack Alien!

Tidbit: Cruz Ramirez's ability calls Lightning McQueen whom she races and together, they both clear diagonal lines of tsums - it looks almost like a C-shape! Each of these two tsums clear their own line of Tsums and thus count as 2 separate chains. As she skills up, the less number would be required to activate her skill. Very Neat!

Tidbit: When MU Mike's ability is activated, he clears 3 vertical lines of tsums each time he practices his scaring! Love the animation!

Tidbit: When its ability is activated, Jet Pack Alien will rocket through space and change 3 diagonal lines of tsums into more Jet Pack Alien tsums, which allows you to create long chains in the game. The animation is quite pretty!

• Nov 6 to 26 - Pixar Puzzles Event! The following link will give you an overview of what the Japan version got for this event in case you're wondering what is coming up next week: Japan Pixar Puzzle.

• Nov 6 to 9 - Lucky Time for Carl and WALL-E!

Tidbit: When Carl's ability is activated, you'll see his flying house clear a horizontal line of Tsums!

Tidbit: WALL-E's ability is taking a horizontal line of tsums and compacting them into tiny Tsums in the center. Similar to Wonderland Alice, when the surrounding tsums are cleared, these tiny tsums will be cleared with them. As you skill WALL-E up, the required number to activate his skill decreases! 

• Nov 10 to 13- Pickup Capsule - need 450,000 coins for the 15 capsules!

• Young Elsa x 2
• Young Anna x 2
• Arlo x 2
• Lightning McQueen x 2
• Nemo x 2
• Dory x 2
• Sulley x 2
• Hawaiian Stitch x 1
• Skill Ticket x 1 to use on any tsum of your choosing!

• Nov 17 to 20 - Lucky Time for Sorcerer Mickey, Conductor Mickey, Parade Mickey

• Nov 24 to 27 - LAST Lucky Time for Cruz Ramirez, MU Mike, Jet Pack Alien, Carl and Wall-E!!

• Nov 27 - Bingo # 10 gets released in the International world!

• Nov 29 - Login bonus of 5000 coins gets gifted to you for just logging into the game!

This is such a jam-packed month! Keep coin farming for these wonderful tsums, especially since most of them are time limited!

Sorry for the delayed update. There have been some health issues at home that I had to tend to. I hope to be able to continue to provide you with a great summary each month as future events come out! Most of all, Happy Halloween!! Wishing you all a safe and fun-filled day!!

Happy Tsuming!

Halloween 2017 brings Jafar, Cruella De Vil, and Captain Hook!!

Halloween is upon us again and Tsum Tsum is giving us 3 new villains!!!


Timeline: (Pictures and Reddit post thanks to Mayorse's hardwork and dedication =D especially since she is traveling right now)

Calendar Summary courtesy of Chiyuki_x, Thank you!

Important Tidbit: All of the new villain tsums are not time limited tsums so you will have the chance to get them in the premium boxes after Halloween is over, if the rotation includes them! The Tsums in the Pickup Capsule and in the Select Lucky Time (see below) do have time limited tsums which if you don't have yet, I highly recommend you save your coins for since they won't appear again for another year. 

• October 2nd to 5th - Lucky Time for Cruella De Vil and Captain Hook

Tidbit: Cruella's ability clears tsums in an S shape with her car, similar to Dory.

Tidbit: Captain Hook's ability clears a vertical line of tsums, as he is trying to run away from Tick Tock the Crocodile.

• October 6th to 9th - Lucky Time for Jafar

Tidbit: Jafar's ability clears tsums in the shape of an X using fire. It's oddly mesmerizing to watch his ability get activated.

• October 6th to 26th - New Villain Event - Part 2! Reward Tsum is Joker Goofy Tsum Tsum!! It looks to be similar to last year's Halloween event where there are three doors corresponding to each new villain we are receiving. Complete all the spaces in the event and you get a gold pin, premium ticket and a skill ticket among other prizes!

Tidbit: Captain Hook, Cruella De Vil, Jafar all give you character bonuses to help you clear the missions quicker.

• October 13th to 17th - Pickup Capsule - 15 capsules, so be prepared with 450,000 coins!!
• Pumpkin Mickey x 2
• Pumpkin Minnie x 3
• Pumpkin Chip x 3
• Rattle Bones Pluto x 1
• Ghost Dale x 3
• Lotso x 2
• Randall x 1
• 1 Skill Ticket for any Tsum of your choosing!

• October 20th to 23rd - Last Lucky Time for Captain Hook, Cruella De Vil, and Jafar!

• October 27th to 30th - Select Lucky Time for Maleficent Dragon, Horn Hat Mickey, and Cat Hat Minnie!! Only available during this select lucky time, so save up as much as you can so that you can at least get one of each of these tsums!

Tidbit: I highly recommend trying to get Maleficent Dragon and Horn Hat Mickey as skilled up as you can during this lucky time, if you can afford it. Maleficent Dragon is a really powerful tsum to use for high scores, and Horn Hat Mickey creates bubbles that you can move around the screen, thereby allowing you to control where they pop and clear tsums.

• October 29th to 30th - Missions are worth 2000 coins each compared to the usual 500 coins.

It looks to be another fun-packed month with new powerful villain tsums!! Keep saving those coins so you can get the tsums you wish to have!! 

Happy Tsuming! =D
