About Paper Lantern Square
The festival square is the warmest place in town. Lanterns glow on every string, banners stretch across the road and the stage always has something on, from drums to a puppet show. Light brass and hand drums play a cheerful tune over the murmur of the crowd, with paper rustling and fireworks popping far away. Little sparks drift up from the lanterns.
Stalls, a stage and a great gate are painted red and gold, hung with paper lanterns and fabric banners. Candy stands, drums, kites and pinwheels fill the square, and blossom trees are decorated with lanterns of their own. The road is red brick with gold-edged tiles. Along the way you pass the Lantern Makers, Confetti Lane, the Paper Crane Tree and the Parade Route.
On Mom's list
For the square, Mom's list is all about celebrating: sweets, candles and ribbons. On level 150 Grandma visits, and this time it is also a three-item special day. When the shopping comes together, Mom turns it into a special dish, and the finish card shows a special title. Every map here ends at the Grand Lantern Gate. It glows brightest of all.
Tip
The square is a good place to practise the milk boost. A boost makes you half as fast again for 15 seconds, and you can use up to three per level from your bag. The boost keeps going through pace changes and even through a fall, so save it for a long clear stretch and you will beat the standard time.
