Hint Card

Hint Cards are collectible items in Game & Wario from the Cluck-A-Pop prize machine. There are 69 cards that can be collected that provide hints on each of the games and Miiverse Sketch. In the Cluck-A-Pop, they are represented by blue capsules and take up some of Capsules 121-160 and 201-240 and all of 170-200. Please note that names and dialogue are taken from the NTSC-U version of the game. Names and dialogue may differ between the NTSC-U and PAL versions.

BIRD

 * The TV Advantage: Early on in the game, try watching the TV when you play. It can be easier to spot the beans way up high and grab them for big points!
 * The GamePad Advantage: As the game speeds up, shift your focus to GamePad. The background is static, so you won't be distracted by all the crazy stuff going on!
 * Shiny-Bean Secrets: Shiny beans are the key to getting yourself out of trouble. After you reach 10,000 points, you'll see one every 1,000 points after that.
 * Scoring Tokens in BIRD: For every 10,000 points you score, a token will fall among the beans. Grab it with your tongue to snag it!
