Is there a penalty for not archiving all the target times for the Puzzle Boxes? I messed up on one and I would hate for that single screw-up to ruin my ticket progression.

Nothing requires you to hit the target times. You just get worse random items for not meeting them.
 
Got around 50+ from the event; was fun overall.

Any tips for the ninja battle near the end of the second run through Battle?

Me: 9,999,999
Them: 4,769,346

I've lost the last 3 tries.
 
Ninjas are easy. Just spread your troops evenly and you should win two battles.
Spreading your troops unevenly as in 50/49/1 split can work too it is just a matter of doing the maths beforehand (two sets that are double the Ninjas largest or 3 sets that are double their second largest whichever is possible).
 
Can I beat the last battle with 9,541,293 or should I wait to get back to 9,999,999 again?
Currently you will definitely need one more win than them to beat it, you've probably overcome worse odds at that battle before (by the troop count I'm assuming this is not your first lap). At the max you might not but I don't know how the game handles draws or if it cheats with the rounding (say on losses rounds you up and enemy losses round them down which would result in you winning by one troop).

If you're already on castle rank 20 I would give serious though to just doing nothing until the end of time while grinding monarchs. Unless you really want a lap 4 or 5 of the game.
 
Argh! Only missing the Eldercurrant flower from Flower Town... this freaking seed won't appear (and I am only harvesting seeds from the Fruitia family).
 
I feel like I've opened a million gold chests, and still haven't found the last weapon I need. Are there any other requirements I might not be meeting?

Are you able to figure out exactly which weapon you're missing? It might be a lower ranked one, in which case just start spamming chests on lower levels.

It's the Ice Cream one. According to faqs, it comes from gold chests, but I've opened, like, 20 of them in the last few days. Very annoying. Up to 36 puzzle boxes though.
 
These new games have been a blast. I've been seriously hooked on them for the past several months and I've been playing them more than any other games lately. My favorites are Mii Force and Monster Manor.

Mii Force has got so much replay value. Right now I'm working on getting all the gems and no-damage, also working on getting the top spot in scores for all levels. I'm a classic shmup fan and I love the fact that this game has so many little references to old shmup games. I would love an update with more stages even tho there's already 15(even tho it feels like there's less since it's broken up into groups of 3 per planet).

Monster Manor is amazing. Still on the 21st floor as I'm taking my time trying to get the most/best treasure chests. Just completed all the puzzle boxes and all the weapons in the past few days. Not sure about the replay value as I'm still working on it, but I'm liking the length of the game so far.

Flower Town is cool because I enjoy gardening in real life, but Mr. Mandel needs to stop talking so much lol. At first the limited amount of seed spaces drove me nuts, but now I'm starting to enjoy managing what seeds to keep and what seeds to sell. I like this game, and the amount of content keeps it interesting.

Warrior's Way was the game I looked forward to play most at the beginning, but it has become the most worthless one of the bunch now that I've completed everything(except that dreaded 300 monarchs achievement). This one can seriously use an update as there is NOTHING to do once you have completed it. You can't even start over using another type of castle.

Hopefully something's in the works at Nintendo to update some of these games, and hope there are new games in the future for this!
 
I currently have two 3DSs right now. One is my old model and the other one is my XL. My two systems used to tag each other every 8 hours, which was the standard cooltime between tags. However, recently they seem to be tagging each other at a much slower rate than 8 hours, it feels more like every 18 hours. I've checked the settings on both systems and everything should be running okay. The wireless is on, the queues aren't full, and both are in functioning shape.

Anyone know what's up?

My two 3DSes' tagging frequency seem to be affected mainly by how often I actually bother to visit the plaza gate. They won't tag each other multiple times unless I go through a relay point without clearing them from the queue first.
 
I get about 7 -10 street passes daily in New York city on my way to work. I thought I wouldn't bother with street pass, I find myself checking all the time to see who I passed (some people I passed twice already -glad I can message them) and I like seeing what people are playing.
 
I'm new to this too, I bought the Manor game today. I've only had 20 streetpasses in a week and a half. It should ramp back up once I go back to school in the fall.

I like it, I just wish I had a ticket to PAX East now for this thing alone.

Nothing stopping you from loitering outside the building.
 
Got that last weapon in Mansion! Got it as a puzzle box reward in the end. Just 14 puzzle boxes to go, and I'm up to 190 monarchs!
 
I'm at level 48 in mansion.

The level has 3 large open spaces that I have been slowly and patiently prepping for gold chest hauls. I'm taking one final run a harvesting/combining weapons before I go for the final boss at level 50. AFAIK you only get to take one weapon with you when the game resets so I am going all in.

Correct, whatever weapon you have in your hands when it goes down becomes your one and only possession in the world when you roll over.
 
You can enter a job on Flower game without receiving a streetpass.... but the job will only be finished when you receive a streetpass, right ?
 
Argh. Got to 5-2 in Arcade Mode last night. (Last two tries I got to 5-1)
I bought 2 Light Green and 1 White and filled the rest with random.

I screwed up a few times in the water worlds, which had long lasting issues.

At least I didn't have any purple. Got, that gun is useless.

I'm ready for new Streetpass games. Honestly, what else have Prope got to do?

Oh, please no. Wait until after E3. That way I can focus on booths and people, not checking my 3DS.
 
I've lost about 2 million soldiers in my last 2 battles due to carelessness.

At least I'm closing-in on the last 2 achievements.
 
So my last 2 Find Mii 2 sessions of spend the play coins (2 mercenaries, 2 level 7s) both end in the same way, Poison rooms. I swear the secret quest is designed to make you hate the game. At least I have a silver key now but given I've not been tracking what hats I have where there will be more play through than I would like of this...

I also retired mansion, I don't want to reset the title screen and had all the tickets by floor 30.

Keep at it.

As for purple. It is situational secondary weapon for some bosses, swap it in and charge up during pre-boss cutscene and a couple of well aimed shots can really do a lot (the range is a bit short and the blast radius is a bit slow, it is good against the 4 shield boss as it usually takes all of those out). Its better than the harpoon which you never see as nobody is brown.

That's impressive. What should I be doing in order to unlock these last puzzle boxes? I'm on Floor 48, so I don't think I can unlock all the tickets before restarting. :(

Sadly the same thing you did to unlock the rest (I am told that sometimes the game goes through a streak of giving you puzzle you've already played), it just comes down to luck but you definitely want some mercenaries in your queue (as you can use these to make rooms without potentially appearing, a level 1 Mii appearing in a room basically wastes the opportunity).

I did have the fortune of sharing my office with a streetpasser who does not play the games so would have a level >2 Mii each day which really helped (been months since I got a tag from them and since talking about games IRL is awkward and I don't need their services, its fine).

You don't need to complete the puzzle boxes in your first loop. You might not have the rewards from them, but the game still knows which puzzle boxes you finished before and you'll still get offered ones you haven't ever done by level 2 Miis who haven't played Manor.

I actually want to finish the second loop just so I can have the game marked as complete. I like the altered title screen for finishing anyway.
 
So, to clarify, I need a mii at level 2 who doesn't own the game to produce a new puzzle box? I have a level 7 mii that I pass every day. How exactly should I be capitalising on this fact?!

Hire a bunch of randoms, make sure you drop the level 7's piece, then try to construct large rooms with the randoms to maximize the chance of meeting the level 7 inside it.

Always build hollow rooms with your level 7 (e.g build a 3x3 room with a piece missing in the middle). Then hire randoms and hope you get one that matches the level 7's color. If not, then try and form rooms with the remaining randoms you have.
