Life can’t be ALL work, can it? Luckily, the people of the village know how to cut loose and have fun. At the various festivals that they hold, the townspeople compete in some “friendly” events to crown a winner. Once you play one of these mini-games during a festival, you’re free to play the mini-game at any time from the main menu. You’ll unlock seven in all.

In this contest, the one with the sharpest eye prevails. There are a bunch of animals in a pen, and you have to be the one to count them the fastest. A correct, quick answer will give you the win.

Can you till the most ground the fastest? Every time you till a plot of land, the outline of that square changes to your colour, but watch out for obstacles like monkeys. They’re up to no good.

Hop on your stallion and scamper for the finish line! On the track, you can pick up speed boosts or whip your horse to ask him for extra effort. Don’t whip him too much, though. You’ll wear him out.

Will you end up with the gold or the junk ore? You never know until you smash the rock. Take your hammer down to the mine and start swinging. If you’re not finding gems, smack your opponent and make him drop his.
