Rockadoodler Roundup
Rockadoodler Roundup is a mini-game located at the Rockadoodler Corral, which is in the upper region (north of the
Oasis) of
Gemstone Mountain. The mini-game is unlocked after the player has completed the "Rockadoodler Roundup" quest.
After paying one
Game Ticket to the
Nul, the player must catch 15x
Rockadoodlers with their
Net before the 60-second (i.e. one minute) timer runs out.
"One
Game Ticket to round up all the
Rockadoodlers you can for one minute."
Tips for Winning
Be careful not to chase too far after the
Rockadoodlers. It is possible to go outside of the game's boundary (which is unmarked), causing you to automatically lose the game. Generally the inbounds fair zone is the same plateau level as the corral, the northernmost boulders, the northwest lake, and the ladder on the right if it is not climbed to the top of.
Out-of-bounds include the mere top of the ladder south of the start point, some corners of the Zipline station, the Cozy Crystal stage, and west of the northwest lake.
If you run out-of-bounds before catching any
Rockadoodlers, your
Game Ticket will be returned. If you run out-of-bounds after catching at least one
Rockadoodler, you will earn at least 3x
Eggs.
Companion Abilities
Companion Abilities can assist with this game.
Keroppi's Critter Friend ability makes the
Rockadoodlers less likely to startle, and his Critter Calmer ability makes
Rockadoodlers move more slowly. He may well be the most useful companion for the mini game.
Pochacco's Speed Walker ability helps chase after
Rockadoodlers more easily.
Pompompurin's Slow & Steady ability increases the time on the clock by 5 seconds.
A
Speedy Walking Potion may be used to move faster if not using
Pochacco.

Notes
- During the
Jam Jamboree
event, the player can also receive 5x
Jam Jars along with their regular prize (5x
Jam Jars per day of play; up to 15x
Jam Jars if 2 days are missed). - The mini-game is known in the "English (United Kingdom)" version of the game as Rockadoodle Roundup without the trailing R for unknown reasons.
- The start point for the Corral Stampede Challenge Course is in inbound fair zone, but jumping on it while the mini-game is active will do nothing as the button is stuck solid for the duration of the session.
- The launch handle of the "Gemhead Zip" zipline is also very narrowly inbounds, but cannot be pressed despite being highlighted when the player character looks at it.
