Difference between revisions of "ThornTail Store"

This is the only shop in ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]'' located in the [[ThornTail Hollow]]. It is run by the [[StoreKeeper]]. Only [[Scarab]]s suffice as payment. His shop is divided into the Main Room, the Gambling Room and 3 shopping rooms all of which have a different color representing the nature of the goods sold in the particular room. The Main Room's doors form an inequilateral hexagon, which connects all the other rooms to the Main Room. If you take the first door from either left or right from the entrance, you will arrive into the Gambling room. The second door on left leads to the Blue Room and the second door on the right leads to the Purple Room. If you go straight from the entrance, you'll reach the door to the Red Room. There is also a well in the middle of the Main Room, which sells you a [[Cheat Token]], which you can take to the [[Game Well Maze]] under the [[Warp Stone]].

In this room, Scarabs can be gambled with the [[StoreKeeper]]. First he asks the amount of [[Scarab]]s to be gambled, with the maximum of ten. He then throws the desired number of Green Scarabs into the play area, from where they have to be collected within 30 seconds. The catch is, that he also frees the same amount of Purple Scarabs in the play area, which when collected, result in losing the bet. The amount of Scarabs lost is reduced by the amount of Green ones collected before stumbling into a Purple one. For example, with a 10 Scarab bet, and only four collected Scarabs before getting a Purple one, will result in six Scarab loss. The bet is won if all Green ones are collected. The prize is rather unsurprisingly the amount of Scarabs gambled. Playing the game actually costs nothing unless a bet is lost.

There is also a small secret room present in here. When exiting the Gambling room there are normally two choices, left and right. But on the other side of the wall faced here is a room containing a large rock, under which three Orange Scarabs wait to be found. They are worth 10 Scarabs each. They will be back every time [[Fox McCloud|Fox]] leaves the ThornTail Hollow.
