Secret Uses

The trick stick can be used to hatch a piñata cocoon at any time by poking the cocoon.

If the player pokes a piñata cocoon before it has a chance to enlarge, the piñata will stay its juvenile size permanently. However, the game will still consider the piñata to be fully grown. This trick can be useful to reduce the size of larger piñatas to prevent overcrowding.
