How To Play Sicko Snap
Sicko Snap is a rail-shooter style mini game that sees you travelling around Honolulu by trolley, attempting to take photos of “eccentrics” called Papillon Boys that you see on the way. Themore sickos you snap and the better the quality of picture, the more points you earn.
There are a set number of sickos per route that appear each time, and you want to take the best possible picture, having themcentered in frame and zoomed in is best. You only have alimited number of pictures you can take, so don’t get too trigger happy and ensure you’re only snapping when it counts.
You can only take one picture of each sicko, so if you snap a bad photo, don’t bother trying to retake it.
There arethree different trolley routesyou can choose between after you’ve completed your first game of Sicko Snap as part of the substory. Each has its owncompletion score that you must meetin order to successfully complete the game and earn some points.

What’s In The Snap Points Exchange Silver Treasure Chest?
While all treasure might seem equal in the eyes of some, I imagine many players will want to track down the Treasure Rings first and foremost as these can actually be utilised by Majima.

It’s theRing of Flowers, which grants anincrease to the power of Heat Actions that use nearby terrain. It can be worn on the index, middle, or ring finger.
