Achievement

From Piñata Journal
(Redirected from Certificate)

Achievements are rewards that can be unlocked by the player in the console games. Like most Xbox 360 games, these achievements are tied to the player's Xbox profile and aren’t seen inside the game itself.

There are 50 achievements to earn in both Viva Piñata in Trouble in Paradise. These range from discovering a new evolution, winning mini-games, or hiring Helpers, to more difficult tasks, such as obtaining wildcards and completing challenges.

Trouble in Paradise features several achievements that are almost impossible to achieve due to defunct services and peripherals. While still technically obtainable with the right resources, it is generally recommended to ignore these achievements when looking to 100% the game.

Pocket Paradise replaces achievements with certificates, though these are functionally identical to the achievements of the console games.

Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise

Due to the DS' lack of system-level support for achievements, Pocket Paradise has replaced achievements with in-game certificates. These are mostly the same as the achievements of the Xbox 360 original, with a few exceptions.
