Plaza Decorations: Decoded
A chorus of "kweh" drowns out the "kupo". Left of the star roosts a chocobo, A moogle sits on the circle's side; Left of the square does another reside.
Left of the star-shaped gifts must have Chocobos, and a Moogle must be on the side of the circle (first star-shape) and another next to that one. (circle-shaped gift) Then since there is just the last star-shaped gift left, it must house a Chocobo since there must be a lesser number of Moogles.

Mini Games
Whack-a-Cactuar
A mini-game located in the Arena Galviano. You have three weapons: A Squeaky Hammer (Sword), a Supersized Squeaky Hammer (Longsword), and a Pair of Squeaky Hammers (Daggers). The goal is to strike the Cactuars as many times as possible within the time limit to rack up points. Daggers will give you the least amount of points, while the Longsword will yield the most. Each round will spawn a Giant Cactuar, giving you a chance to win even more points. They are crucial to winning the mini-game. Warp-striking and Air-stepping gives even less points, so it's more efficient to combo by switching weapons.
Galviano Gallery
A mini-game located in the Arena Galviano. The goal is to use the turret to break as many targets in quick succession in order to gain points. If you stay on the trigger for too long, the gun will overheat and will be unusable for several seconds. Quick succession in destroying targets will give you more bonus points at the end of the game.
Chocobo Races
Chocobo-Moogle Carnival special! Chocobo Races right in Altissia! First race is called Seaside Scamper, and the second one is called Water Trotter. You get Medallions for completing them under the time limit!
Waiting on Maagho
A waiter-server mini-game available on the floating restaurant, Maagho.
Completing exceptional amount of rounds will yield Medallions.
