Super Bonus
Once again, when the player had collected all the prizes of the current Act, every 3000 Spades, Gas Masks and Music Notes, they were presented with 3 boxes containing either one, two or three Donuts. The boxes worked similar to the ones from the Bonus Levels. However instead of the usual 50 000 Cash, players had to spend 150 000 Cash to open another box.
The super bonuses had their own quests indicating how much currency the player still had to earn until they reached the next bonus Donut boxes.
- Act 1 : Digging Deep
- Act 2 : Deep Breaths
- Act 3 : A Final Note
Crafting
The event reintroduced the possibility to craft items, which was already available during the Treehouse of Horror XXV Event and the Superheroes Event. Items could be crafted throughout the whole event once they were available and weren't limited to a speific Act. However some of the items required the player to have progressed to a certain point in the event.
A list of a craftable items along with their prices and requirements can be found below. The items from the second tab were only available, if the player didn't have them yet from the prize tracks!
