SNAPPY SMURFLING


SNAPPY SMURFLING

Another new special Smurfling is added! Snappy Smurfling's yellow-roofed mushroom hut can be bought for 2500 coins and it is only available on the island. In order to be able to buy his hut, you have to be at least level 22. Snappy is not stationary. He walks around the island and gives out quests of his own. His hut has a unique yellow polka dotted roof and has a brown bear sitting next to it. 



HARMONY SMURF


HARMONY SMURF

Harmony Smurf is only available on the island and he and his mushroom hut cost 30 Smurfberries. His hut comes with a musical mini-game. Just like the other special Smurfs who come with their own mini-games, Harmony is stationary and does not walk around the island. To play this mini-game, tap on his hut and choose a song to play. The goal is to play his trumpet to the tune of the song you chose by tapping the musical notes when they are in the lighted region on the right side of the display. There are several different songs with different difficulties to choose from. The rewards for a song completed with the rating of either an 'Ok' or a 'Smurfy' ranges from 150 to 750 XP. 

Just like Miner Smurf's mining mini-game and Papa Smurf's potion mixing mini-game, it is possible to make this game easier by purchasing a special Golden Trumpet for 15 Smurfberries. Once a song has been completed with the rating of 'Good' or 'Smurfy', it gets unlocked and, from then on, can be used as background music that plays each time you visit the island. Tap on Harmony's mushroom hut can tap 'Choose song' to do so. 







SASSETTE


SASSETTE


Sassette Smurf is only available on the island and she works there just as Smurfette does in the mainland village. Sassette is not stationary and walks around the island. She comes with her own mushroom hut that can be bought for 30 Smurfberries. After that, Sassette will permanently live on the island. Just like Smurfette, she gives bonus XP to all Smurfs close to her when there's a red heart sign above her head (which happens every few hours). But unlike Smurfette, who gives a bonus of 15 XP per Smurf, Sassette gives a bonus of 40 XP. 

The area affected is rather small, so it is quite hard to get many Smurfs close to her at athe same time. To obtain the bonus XP, tap on her when there is a red heart sign above her head.

SLOUCHY SMURFLING


SLOUCHY SMURFLING

Slouchy Smurfling is only available in the island and he cannot visit the mainland village. To get him, the village has to be at least level 21. After that, his mushroom hut can be built on the island for 2000 coins. It will finish building within 24 hours. Slouchy is always walking around the island. He is not stationary and gives out quests of his own, just like Papa Smurf. 





DREAMY SMURF


DREAMY SMURF

Captain Dreamy Smurf and his ship, the S.S. Dreamy II are part of the expansion to the island and Dreamy is one of the free special Smurfs. To get Dreamy, Papa Smurf's previous storyline quests have to be done and then at level 19, a long quest line will start that will, in the end, give you Dreamy and his ship. After Dreamy has been sent out for a couple of adventures, he will find the island and he, Brainy and Papa Smurf can, from that point onwards, visit it. 











LONE SMURF


LONE SMURF

Lone Smurf is the local superhero of Smurfs' Village. She was introduced in the Halloween update. Lone is, in reality, Smurfette. After she gives the task to mix a purple potion for her  in Papa Smurf's potion mixing mini-game, she turns into Lone Smurf. From that moment on, she gives tasks and protects the village from Gargamel as Lone Smurf. After a few tasks (about three), she will once again ask for a purple potion that will turn her back into Smurfette. Lone can only be obtained if Smurfette is living in the village or her hut has been bought. Lone has Smurfette's heart symbol above her head and gives 15 XP to every Smurf close to her every few hours, just like Smurfette does. That means you will not miss out on Smurfette's bonus XP while she is in Lone's form.

SCAREDY SMURF


SCAREDY SMURF

Scaredy Smurf is a new special Smurf who was introduced in the Halloween update. You can get Scaredy for free from level 12 onwards. You will get a quest from Papa Smurf to find him. It is hard to find Scaredy as he is always well hidden. In order to find and calm Scaredy down, you have to have the night mode activated (activate 'effects' in options). You may get this message from him: 'Come find me after dark.'
You will need to look closely to find Scaredy. You might find him behind bushes, mushroom huts and around plots. It is hard to distinguish between him and the other Smurfs because they look exactly alike, apart from the pace that we walks. Once you get him, you can get a bonus 400 XP every night by tapping on him. 









ALCHEMY SMURF


ALCHEMY SMURF

Alchemy Smurf (Smurf with stars hat) walks freely around the village and lives in Papa Smurf's mushroom hut and upgrades his potion mixing mini-game. He is available from level 23 onwards. To get Alchemy, Papa Smurf will, sometime after reaching level 23, give the task to send 3 Smurfs into the forest for 24 hours and when they return, Alchemy will be back with them. Alchemy gives out tasks himself, just like Papa Smurf. His first task will be to upgrade Papa Smurf's hut. Just tap on the hut and tap 'upgrade'. It costs 500 coins and changes the rooftop from red to white with yellow stars and moons, just like Alchemy's hat. 

This upgrade does not only change the appearance of Papa Smurf's hut, but also changes his potion mixing mini-game. After the upgrade, you can mix three new potions (if the required level is reached). Yellow potion: max 250 XP, green potion: max 400 XP and orange potion: max 600 XP. And just like the golden pickle in Miner's mining mini-game, the Magic Flask which costs 20 Smurfberries can make it easier to mix potions. 










MARCO SMURF


MARCO SMURF

Marco Smurf is a Smurf who walks freely around the village and does not have a mushroom hut. To get Marco, Papa Smurf will, sometime after level 16, give the task to send 3 Smurfs into the forest for 12 hours to rescue him. As soon as they return to the village, Marco Smurf will come back with them. He will not stay long and instead chooses to explore villages of your neighbours. If Marco is in a neighbouring village, a medallion next to their banner shows which village he is currently hiding in. If he is found in a neighbour's village, just tap on him and he will return to your village and gives you a present (such as a free Smurfberry, if you're lucky)
After he has been found and returns to the village, he will stay there for some time before he goes to a neighbouring village again to be found. To find Marco in a neighbouring village, it is important to have your village connected to either Facebook or Game Centre with at least one friend who plays the game as well. Without that, Marco cannot be found at a neighbouring village and therefore, cannot give presents.

CLUMSY SMURF


CLUMSY SMURF

Like some of the other Smurfs, for instance Jokey Smurf or Smurfette, Clumsy Smurf is not stationary. That means he walks around the village at all times. Clumsy does not come with his own mushroom hut and he is free. Neither coins nor Smurfberries are needed to obtain him, although Papa Smurf will ask you to upgrade one of the Smurfhouses for either coins or Smurfberries so that Clumsy can live in it after he joins the village. 
Clumsy can be found from level 20 onwards. After that level has been reached, Papa Smurf will give the task to send 2 Smurfs into the forest and when they return, they will bring Clumsy Smurf back along with them. Clumsy will give you quests of his own but unlike Papa Smurf, he runs out. That means if one of his quests is completed, he will not give you a new one until you reach the next level. All of his quests need to be completed. 







TAILOR SMURF


TAILOR SMURF

Tailor Smurf was introduced in the latest version of the Smurfs' Village app. Once his mushroom hut has been bought for 30 Smurfberries and placed in the village, he enables the feature to change hats of every worker Smurf who lives in the village. Unlike all the other special Smurfs and their huts that can be bought using Smurfberries, Tailor's hut is built instantly. Tailor is stationary like Baker Smurf, Miner Smurf, etc. and does not walk around the village.

The individual Smurf hats have to be bought with coins before they can be worn by the Smurfs. The price ranges from 100 coins for a baseball hat to up to 50 000 coins for a magic hat. Every hat can only be worn by one Smurf. For example if you want to dress 10 Smurfs with a Cowboy hat, you have to purchase 10 Cowboy hats from Tailor Smurf.

NAT SMURFLING


NAT SMURFLING

Nat Smurfling is introduced in the Easter 2011 update. He is a Smurfling who comes with his own house and is stationary. Nat can be bought with 30 Smurfberries starting from level 10 onwards. As soon as his mushroom hut is built, all flower seeds are instantly unlocked and available. However, if the seed is associated with a minimum level for the village before being allowed to use the seed, the according level still has to be reached before it can be planted, even though Nat has been bought.


And like Farmer Smurf, Nat gives bonus XP for all flower boxes that are placed around his hut. 




VANITY SMURF


VANITY SMURF

At the moment, Vanity Smurf is available for 1500 coins in the Smurfberry shop, but this is only a temporary discount. So it is important to buy him as soon as the discount lasts. Vanity is stationary as well and gives 150 XP a day, indicated by a mirror sign above his hut. You will gain XP once you tap on his hut. 
Vanity Smurf does not have his own mini-game but has a photo studio, where a typical white Smurfs' hat can be added to an existing picture. Once done, the photos can be either be uploaded to Facebook (if connected) or saved in the iPad's photo library. 



LAZY SMURF


LAZY SMURF

Lazy Smurf does not come with his own hut, but with a pond instead. He is stationary and relaxes by the pond while catching fish. He is available for 30 Smurfberries and buying him allows you to have a pond in the village before reaching level 26. 

Lazy has a fishing mini-game. The goal is to catch as many fish as possible. A fishing collection book keeps track of every fish or boot that has been caught. For every ten fish of the same colour you catch, a badge that grants bonus XP is obtained.

PAINTER SMURF


PAINTER SMURF

Painter Smurf and his hut costs 30 Smurfberries. He is stationary and comes with a painting mini-game and the feature to change the colour of items in the village. The goal of the game is to recolour a black and white painting within a certain time. The original picture is displayed on the right side of the display. The painting has to be done within a specific time limit, and the more detailed the masterpiece is, the more XP is rewarded. 

The mini-game has nine pictures, three of each difficulty level (low, medium and high). Once a picture is finished with a rating of 'Ok' or 'Smurfy', a new colour is unlocked and can be used to paint items in the village.
