Carnival Wagon[edit]
The Carnival Wagon is an area resembling a mini stage that lets the player view all of the different carnival figures that they can purchase in the Surprise Wagon. When the player approaches the Carnival Wagon, they will be presented with two options: "Carnival Figures" or "Carnival Parade." If the player chooses "Carnival Figures," they will be able to view all the carnival figures they currently have lined up on a shelf. If they choose "Carnival Parade," they will see their carnival figures marching in a parade across the stage. When marching in a parade, each figure will appear in random order each time, and will perform an action of some kind when the player clicks on them (note that this will not happen if they are viewed on the shelf). Each figure can only be clicked on once each time the parade is started.
