Halloween

Halloween appears in Style Boutique once again, however the holiday is not as celebrated as it was in Fashion Forward. There are some Halloween greetings that appear and special Halloween themed miniatures and clothing items to collect. The Halloween DLC Items that previously appeared in Fashion Forward are not included in Styling Star.

Once October 31st comes along in the game, special spooky music will play at the start of the day. If you head over to the Exhibition Hall, the brand representatives will greet you with a Halloween message and tell you how you can use their brand items to celebrate the holiday. No other Halloween greetings appear in the game and there are no Halloween decorations around the city.






Nails are a new addition to the game series and two special Halloween themed sets have been included in the game. The Trick Or Treat and Witching Hour designs can be found under the Lively Nails Designs category. Vampire Temptation, Mysterious Rondo, Coven Party and Halloween Candy can be found under the Rock Nail Designs category. All the nail designs can be purchased from Lorelei at the Beautician.









The Halloween clothing sets are available once more from Purple Moon. The Halloween set features a long sleeve inner/top and pannier skirt and is available in six colours. The Pumpkin Set features a blouse, shorts and Bat Wing Top Hat. These outfits are perfect for the scary season or for a gothic themed coordinate.

To scan an amiibo into the game, open the phone menu and select the amiibo app. Make sure that you have the internet/online switched on.

Once you have successfully scanned the amiibo into the game, you can either close the amiibo app or scan in more amiibos. Go to your apartment and select the Design option to access the content unlocked by the amiibo.

There are special pixel themed Mario items that you can unlock with the 30th Anniversary Mario amiibos. Both the Classic and Modern amiibos will unlock a pixel Mario emblem and three tote bag designs. The emblem features the classic pixel rendition of Mario which can be found in the older Mario games. You can add this emblem to various design items or to shopping bags.
