User:Tessie/Pinkie Pie's Party Parade

This article is probably going to take me several days to write, so I am keeping it in my userspace until it is finished.

Pinkie Pie's Party Parade is a G3 video game.

Plot

As soon as the game loads, the player is shown six game save slots. They are given the option of continuing a game with an existing profile, erasing an existing profile, or starting a new game in a blank slot. If the player chooses to start a new game, they are taken to a screen where they enter a name consisting of up to 12 letters. The player can also choose the font color the name is shown in and can change the profile picture to any member of the Core 7. Each profile must have a different name. If the same name as an existing profile is entered, the player will be asked to enter a different name.

After the player starts playing with a new profile, they are taken to a scene with Pinkie Pie looking out her window. A butterfly flies in, and Pinkie Pie tells it that she feels like playing but all her friends are too busy. The butterfly knocks over an invitation. Pinkie Pie picks it up and remembers that the Ponyville Party Parade is today. She explains that they will parade through Ponyville and then find out who the Super Secret Birthday Guest is. She then remembers that she is in charge of making a tiara for the guest to wear. She decides that if she helps her friends get ready, they'll help her make the tiara.

The player is taken to a mostly blank scrapbook. This is the screen seen between minigames throughout the game. The player is supposed to click on the picture of a drawing program to progress the game.

Pony Pictures

Pinkie Pie meets Toola-Roola and compliments her art skills. Pinkie Pie tells her that she can probably help her make the tiara, and Toola-Roola says that she'd love to. Toola-Roola says that she is making a picture for every pony in Ponyville and asks Pinkie Pie if she wants to help. Pinkie Pie agrees.

The player is taken to a simple paint program. In the program, the player can draw with one of ten crayons (The available colors are rose, purple, yellow, magenta, blue, pink, light purple, light pink, light yellow, and red.) or by using one of the six musical paintbrushes. Each musical paintbrush draws in a different, colorful pattern, and they each play the sound of a different musical instrument while being used. The purple musical paintbrush plays the sound of maracas and paints a trail of red, orange, yellow, blue, and purple squares. The yellow one plays a flute sound and paints a red, orange, yellow, green, and light blue trail in strokes that get larger and smaller. The blue one plays a guitar sound and paints a trail of colorful flowers. The white one plays drum sounds and makes a trail of red, yellow, green, and pink dots. The pink one plays xylophone sounds and and paints a colorful trail of hearts and confetti. The hot pink brush plays the sound of a piano and paints a trail of stars that slowly transition between grey, blue, green, yellow, orange, and pink.

In addition to drawing, the player can click on stickers and add them to their drawing. The stickers are accessible in the top right corner. For each pony, there are three or four stickers depicting that pony in different poses, and there are six or seven stickers of other objects. The player can transition between which pony's stickers they can see by clicking the arrows next to the portrait of the pony above the sticker box.

There are also some other simple features typical of drawing programs. There is a button to clear the drawing; an eraser to erase crayon, stickers, and musical paintbrush; and an undo button. The undo button can only undo the latest action. The player can also click a button to print their picture. If the player clicks this and agrees to the box that pops up, the picture will begin printing automatically.

There is also an option to change the background, although doing this deletes everything the player added to the page. There are seven backgrounds depicting places where future parts of the game take place, and there is one that is completely blank.

The player must use a crayon and a sticker at least once in order to go forward in the game.
