To 100% Pukaland in NTE, buy the 1,000-star Gold Pass, then S-rank the six minigames and five rides of the Pukaland Travelogue, clear their Spooky Trials, and ride the six Dreamsnap attractions once. Every run can be restarted from the pause menu for free, so the only real cost is time, and Flora Maze takes most of it.

Zeeebo, who calls himself a Pukaland speedrunner, filmed this guide on 30 September 2026, launch day of Version 1.4, after clearing almost the whole Travelogue. Unlike the beta walkthrough in our first Pukaland guide, this is the live game, and the live prices are lower: the Gold Pass, the Annulith and every cosmetic on the counter cost half what the beta showed. This page follows his run attraction by attraction, lists every trial the screen shows, and redoes his Fons arithmetic. The event itself, its dates and rewards, is on the Pukaland Travelogue page.

What Should You Do Before Your First Pukaland Run?

Three things, in this order. First, buy the Pukaland Gold Pass at the Star Ticket Counter as soon as you have 1,000 Puka Stars. Its live text is plain: “a permanent 90% discount on all Pukaland fees once obtained”. A minigame drops to 10 Fons a play, a ride to 50, Star-Struck darts to 3. Zeeebo puts it before everything else, and the numbers agree.

Second, learn the pause menu. Every minigame and ride can be paused, and the screen says it outright: “Restarting or exiting before results are calculated will not cost Fons.” If a run is going badly, restart it. That one rule turns every S rank into a matter of attempts, not money.

Third, clear Dreamsnap. It is the Travelogue tab for the six park rides that pay no Puka Stars per play: Puka Wonder Wheel, Dreamland Tea Party, Cloud-Chasing Tour, When All Wishes Bloom, Pearlcloud Odyssey and The Magic Spin. Each asks you to experience the ride once and pays 10 Annulith and 50 Puka Stars. Zeeebo’s tip saves real time here: paying for the ride is enough to tick it, you do not have to sit through a full turn of the Ferris wheel.

How Do You S Rank Every Pukaland Minigame?

The six minigames are Pukaboo Stack, Candy Carousel, Whack-a-Puka, Plushie Shootout, Star-Struck and Secret Match. Each has an Adventure Rating track from C to S and eight Wonder Stamps. Zeeebo’s point about the stamps: most of them fall naturally once you are scoring S ranks, so chase the rank first.

Pukaboo Stack and Secret Match

In Pukaboo Stack, aim at the bottom of each stack so the whole tower drops with one shot. Once you know the positions, Zeeebo calls the S rank “super easy”, and knocking a full stack of six cans with one shot is also one of its stamps. Secret Match is the cup shuffle: his trick is to track only two of the three pairs, since the third is whatever is left. Even one mistake still leaves room for an S rank.

Candy Carousel

Fire two pearls into every open shell, because an open shell has room for two, and leave the rotate button alone. Stars score more than pearls, so spend them. Anything above 3,000 is an S rank; his run above ends at 3,800 for 200 Puka Stars. For the stamps, two need planning: “Throw all pearls with more than 10s remaining” wants you to spam fire, and “Finish the game with all shells rescued” wants every shell open before the last pearl, since the game ends when you run out.

Whack-a-Puka and Plushie Shootout

Whack-a-Puka has a strict priority. By Zeeebo’s count a normal mole is worth 10 points, a special mole about 20 and the hammer 80, while the cones take points away. Hit the hammer first, then special moles, then whatever is left. “Trigger Bonk Hammer 3 times in a single run” is the stamp that comes with it. One caution: in the same session where the other minigames charge 10 Fons, his Whack-a-Puka result screen reads 100.

Plushie Shootout is the one to memorise. The plushies come out at the same spots and the same times every run, so after a few attempts you aim before they appear. Its stamps include a run without missing a shot, which Zeeebo clears by simply not firing for a whole round, and one over 60% accuracy, which rules out spraying.

Star-Struck darts

Hold your aim on the blue bullseye and release on the yellow for a Perfect. The bonus score comes from three rings, one in the middle and two further out, and “Hit the Bonus Zone 3 times in a row” is a stamp. An S rank here needs 150 points and pays 50 Puka Stars for 3 Fons. That is the live payout; the beta paid 30.

How Do You Clear Every Flora Maze Trial?

Zeeebo ranks Flora Maze as the hardest attraction, and it is the only Spooky Trial list he had not finished when he filmed (8 of 10). For the S rank, pick up every cake you see: each one adds time, and the more time left when you exit, the higher the score. He reckons about two minutes left on the clock is an S.

The trials take several runs. The ones on screen pay 200 Puka Stars each, and clearing the maze adds 15 Annulith:

The last one is the trap. Zeeebo finished a run in 2 minutes and 1 second of real time while the timer still showed time left, and it did not count. The exit door moves between runs, so memorising a route only goes so far. His approach is to restart until the open door spawns close to the start, then run straight for it.

How Do You S Rank Candy Jar Raid, Punchulum, Lavaton and Pixies Waltz?

The four other rides all cost 50 Fons with the pass and pay up to 900 Puka Stars. Each has its own Spooky Trials, again 200 stars apiece, with 15 Annulith for the clear.

Candy Jar Raid

It plays like Pukaboo Stack on water: aim bombs and spears at octopus tentacles and treasure chests. Always go for the three treasure maps, because completing them switches the ride to its golden stage, with bonus points on every tentacle and chest. When the octopus grabs you, clear the tentacles fast to keep your durability up. Zeeebo says the durability trial gave him no trouble in a single run, and the screen shows the treasure map, tentacle repel and Challenge Stage trials all ticked.

Punchulum Ride

Zeeebo’s favourite and, for him, the easiest maximum score. It is a rhythm ride on a swinging pendulum: press the arrow shown on the right (WASD or the arrow keys) when the outer circle closes on the inner one. Hits keep the fear gauge down; if it fills, the run ends early. Enough Perfects unlock a special animation, and by then the S rank (9,000 points for 900 Puka Stars) is already secured. His run passed 14,900.

Lavaton Gold Rush

A runner on mine-cart rails: steer left and right, jump the gates, and fire rockets at rocks, waffles, ice cream and the plane. Score comes from gold collected, so a few hits do not cost the S rank as long as you finish. Zeeebo calls it the easiest S of the five if rhythm games are not your thing. For the runaway-coin trial, do not jump when they roll at you: take the cookie hits and collect the coins.

Pixies Waltz

Three rounds of the same loop: match arrows to charge energy, then fly up and shoot donuts and spaceships, and enough bonus hits open a special scene before the last round. Aim rather than spray: one trial wants 80% accuracy in the firing phase, and points only come from hits anyway.

What Is the Cheapest Way to Farm Puka Stars?

Zeeebo closes on Fons efficiency, comparing the three price tiers side by side. With the pass, the figures on his screen work out like this:

The gaps are small, so pick by speed and comfort. The minigames are the best value per Fons, and Zeeebo farms Pukaboo Stack and Secret Match. Darts is the least efficient but the quickest to replay. Rides pay the most per run if you would rather do fewer, longer runs. None of them is expensive: with the pass, the Fons cost of farming is a rounding error next to what properties and vehicles cost.

What Does the Star Ticket Counter Cost on the Live Server?

Every price below is read off the live counter in the video, and every one is half the beta price. Zeeebo’s own advice: you do not need the materials; the cosmetics, the frame and the namecard are enough for him. The Annulith lots are the exception worth buying, since they go straight into the current banners.

Add up the pass and the ten one-off cosmetics and you get 36,250 Puka Stars. That is 182 minigame S ranks (1,820 Fons with the pass) or 41 ride S ranks (2,050 Fons), before counting the 200 stars from each Spooky Trial, which cover a good part of it. The livery skins the B100, and the rest of the 1.4 outfits are on the skins page. For the free Annulith outside the park, check the current NTE codes, and the whole version is summed up in our Version 1.4 recap.
