Course Rivals and the Stuck Snowball Mouse

The Course Rival' and Stuck Snowball mice are not caught in the usual way. A catch is recorded as a Bonus Hunt and they do not consume cheese or charms when encountered.

If a Hunter wins against a Course Rival, a catch is recorded as a Bonus Hunt.
If a Hunter loses to a Course Rival, no encounter with the mouse occurs and, therefore, a miss is not recorded on the Hunter's stats.

The Stuck Snowball Mouse may be encountered as a Bonus while on all courses except the Green Circle. A catch is recorded as a Bonus Hunt.
The Stuck Snowball Mouse drops Toboggan Nitro and Arctic Asiago Cheese with each hunt. Beginning with the 6th hunt, it will also drop a Satchel of Gold which increases in value with every 5th hunt. Beginning with the 11th hunt, it will also drop Winter Charms and SUPER|brie+.

Hunting tips by Larry

The Bazaar is a noisy place full of merchants selling all sorts of whacky wares!

If you've come from the Furoma region, be sure to visit the Cartographer here. Cartographers are experts in repairing damaged maps which will in turn open new hunting grounds!

The Bazaar General Store is stocked with some of the strangest items found from around the world. You may just find these items useful if you plan on heading back to Furoma.

Beware of the Burglar mice. They run rampant here at the Bazaar and never hesitate to steal your gold!
