Sparkling Neon Night Board Guide
Sparkling Neon Night charges three delivery points with 200 sparks each on Medium. The Roulette space gives a free extra spin, and the TV Game space charges 10 sparks to start a Petit Game that pays more if you clear it.
Sparkling Neon Night is the three-point board with a fee on it. Goropikadon are putting on a live performance and the show runs on sparks, so your job is to gather them and charge the stage.
The board on one card
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Goal | Gather sparks to power Goropikadon's performance |
| Collectible | Sparks |
| Delivery spaces | 3 |
| Quota on Medium | 200 sparks at each delivery point |
| Exclusive spaces | Roulette (spin again), TV Game (pay 10 sparks to start a Petit Game) |
The 200-spark quota is the highest of the three boards, and the TV Game space is the only space in the game that charges you a fee to play.
Space by space
| Space | Effect |
|---|---|
| Normal | Nothing happens |
| Shop | Work a Petit Game for sparks, or trade sparks for items |
| Minigame | Everyone plays a mini-game |
| Challenge | Petit Game; clear it to keep challenging for more, fail and lose some sparks you hold |
| Item | Pick up an item |
| Roulette | Spin the roulette again — a free extra move |
| TV Game | Pay 10 sparks to start a Petit Game; win and gain sparks, fail and lose some |
Two of these are worth building a turn around. Roulette is free progress, so landing on it late in a day is better than landing on it early. TV Game is a wager: 10 sparks up front, more back if you clear it, less if you do not. On a 200-spark quota the fee is small, but a failed TV Game costs you both the fee and the penalty.
Charging the stage
Three delivery points means three places to charge. On Medium each point wants 200 sparks, and the sparks are per point, so a run is a sequence of loads rather than one big bank.
Because the quota is the highest on any board, the shops matter more here than elsewhere: working a shop for sparks is the reliable income when the mini-game draws are unkind.
How a run ends
Fulfil the delivery quota and the game ends after the ending sequence, paying coins based on results. Run the days down to zero and the game also ends, with coins but no quota completion. A strong final mini-game adds the Last Game Bonus.
Playing the neon board well
- Take the free spin. Roulette is the only space that gives you movement for nothing; treat it as the best square on the board.
- Decide on TV Game before you land on it. If your Petit Game clears reliably, the wager is good; if it does not, the fee is a tax.
- Bank sparks before the last day. With three delivery points and the highest quota, an unladen final day is the classic way to lose this board.
