Minigames are an important part of the experience in Steal a Pet and Ride It, offering a welcome change of pace from the usual cage-stealing gameplay. Whether you prefer fighting a powerful boss, or racing against other players, each activity gives you another reason to jump into the action. However, knowing how each minigame works can make a considerable difference when competing for first place. Here's how to complete Minigames in Steal a Pet and Ride It, including winning strategies and all the rewards you can unlock along the way.
How to Win the Boss Dodge Minigame in Steal a Pet and Ride It
To win the Boss Dodge minigame in Steal a Pet and Ride It, you must remain the last player alive inside the boss arena. While this is a simple concept in theory, in practice it can get quite tricky extremely fast, given the fact that the boss ramps up both the intensity and the frequency of its attacks. He is located in the middle of the arena, and his attacks range from cage drops, stomps and charges all the way to destroying the arena itself. Even though there is quite a wide array of these attacks, one tried and tested strategy for coming out ahead is to always stay as far away from it as possible and constantly on the fringes of the minigame arena.
Consistently applying this strategy will ensure that you are able to dodge the most powerful attack that the boss can throw out, which is the golden shockwave. The only way to do it is to jump over it, and since the attack itself initiates from the center of the map, it will take some time for it to reach the edge of the arena, giving you ample time to dodge it. Conversely, if you are too close to the center and the boss itself, you will have a much tougher time dodging it, especially so because it usually chains this attack with all the other attacks in its arsenal. Its charge becomes especially nasty in those circumstances, given the fact that it also initiates from the center outwards, which can easily snowball into an unavoidable sequence of its attacks.
With that being said, there are only two times when you should ever approach the boss while playing this minigame in Steal a Pet and Ride It. The first one is when it starts destroying the outer edges of the map, since falling from it will result in an instant defeat, and the second one is when a life spawns close to it. You have three lives during this minigame, and you are bound to lose some due to the sheer severity of the attacks that the boss can throw out, especially if the game drags on for long. Keeping that in mind, you will obviously want to replenish your lives whenever given the chance, but even when going for that play, make sure to immediately return towards the periphery of the arena.
How to Win the Race Minigame in Steal a Pet and Ride It
The Race minigame is the second most frequent minigame that can occur in Steal a Pet and Ride it, and it is much more straightforward than the previous one. Winning it is directly corelated to the amount of Speed that you amassed during standard gameplay, and you can stomp opposition simply on that count alone. Since all of the minigames are server sided and not global, you can easily cheese it by acquiring lots of speed from World 2, returning to World 1 and blowing out the opponents. On the other hand, strategic usage of the power-ups you can pick up during the race itself can sometimes make up for your own lack of speed, but only if the difference compared to other players is small.
Having said that, you will want to know what the best methods for farming speed in Steal a Pet and Ride It are. The best way to increase it is by training on the Treadmill at your base, which rewards you with Speed for every step. You can make this process more efficient by upgrading your Treadmill and purchasing better Trails, which multiply the amount of Speed you gain while training. Additionally, riding pets gives you a movement speed boost, while Speed Talismans provide another way to improve your mobility. Focus on upgrading your Treadmill and getting better multipliers as you progress to make reaching higher Speeds much easier.
To pick up the aforementioned power-ups, you simply have to pass through the mystery boxes that will periodically appear on the racetrack. You can then activate them by pressing the "E" key. They are your usual, run-of-the-mill powerups that should be familiar from Mario Kart Racing games, ranging from the likes of the Banana Peel and Shield all the way to the Missile projectile. The key takeaway from here is that you should observe when the opponents pick up their power ups and time the usage of your own so that they will be the hardest to dodge. By contrast, you should always be on the lookout for when the opponents are using their powerups and try to dodge them. To do this, you must complete a quick-time event by to pressing a series of keys shown on the screen. You will usually have little time to do so, so staying sharp is of the utmost importance when playing the race minigame.
A passing mention should be made about the fact that a third minigame also exists. It is called "Keep the Cage", but it practically never takes place, given the fact that players always vote for the next minigame, and the vast majority of them prefers the Boss Dodge and the Race. However, on the off chance it does occur, you should know that it just involves a rain of cages across the regular gameplay map. You can then steal them, and the player who takes the most wins. It is understandable why it seldom gets picked, since it is quite bland and heavily mimics the usual gameplay.
