To Start

  • You must have a Stickly ID
  • You must have at least $100 to spare

Part One: The Stickly House

  • Just go up to the Stickly House (it looks like a poorly drawn house) and talk to the guard.
    • If you talk to the guard without a Stickly ID, he'll kick your head off and you'll get a game over.
    • If you also go up to the guard and have less than $100, he'll say you aren't welcome here.
      • If both of the above conditions are not met, then the guard will jump high into the air and land on you, giving you a game over.

Part Two: Challenge and Fighting

  • There is another guard. Talk to him and he will say that the only reason you're in here is because Stickly Man thought you would bet. He leans close and asks you if you're ready.
    • If you answer yes, then you will be taken to the betting window and can't go outside until the end of the quest.
    • If you answer no, the guard will kick your head off and you get another game over.
    • If you tell him that you have some things to do, he will let you stay in the hallway and go outside, but the next time you talk to him, this option will be removed.
  • Once you're at the betting window, talk to the person behind the window and you have to bet on one of the fighters. You get to see their stats, so chose your stick.
  • When you chose your fighter, your party will be walked to the stands and a cutscene with Stickly Man starting the fight will play.
  • You will take control of whichever stick you bet on. If you lose, you get a game over. The battles are all real-time. Here is the strategy for each stick.

Black Stick

  • Blue and Green sticks will go after the Red stick after hitting each other a few times. Help them, and then let them fight each other. After another one goes down, it will be a one-on-one fight between you and the other stick.

Blue Stick

  • Green Stick will be after you immeadietly, so knock him toward Red Stick. Green Stick will start hitting Red Stick, and soon after Black Stick will help. When Red goes down, Green and Black will fight each other, then you (if you stayed out of the fight).

Red Stick

  • Try to take out Black Stick quickly. Hopefully, you finished before Blue and Green started to double team you. Knock one into the other and they'll start fighting again! Stay out of the fight, and then quickly take out the other.

Green Stick

  • Blue Stick will be after you immeadietly, so throw him into Black or Red. If you threw him into Black, Green will try to attack you, but gets thrown back into the fight with Black. Attack Red and beat him FAST! Then attack the winner of Black vs. Blue. If you threw him into Red, Black will attack Green and Red at the same time, forcing them into a three way free-for-all! Eventually, you and one of the three sticks will be left. You know what to do.

Part Three: Winner!

  • Go to the betting window and claim your winnings, $1000! After that, the stick you chose will run up to you and tell you that Stickly Man requests your (and the stick's) presence. After a cutscene, you will be thrown into a battle with Stickly Man.
Stickly Man
HP: 500
Attacks: Shovel Whack, Xiao Xiao
Startegy: You have control of the stick you bet on during the fight, in addition to your
party. Shovel Whack can be easily dodged, but still doesn't do that much damage. On his second
turn, he'll use Xiao Xiao, which makes the other three sticks drop down from the ceiling. Now
they all will do physical attacks on one character until they are dead. Try having Marzipan
healing the damaged character, and have the other characters (including the one being
attacked) fight them. 

Part Four: Ending

After the fight, Stickly Man will retire and go on vacation, leaving the other sticks to tend to the Stickly House. They will let you come in anytime and bet on tournamants. They will even let you play a certain minigame! They also give you some more money!
