Core mechanic
Bills Must Be Paid Piggy Banks: Types and Smash Priority
The named piggy types, target priority, and the Tourist's stamina restoration.
Quick answer
Piggies: smash near-first, and know who restores stamina
Every piggy drops random loot; types differ in behavior, HP, and payouts (VERIFIED: Steam description — "some run away, some are too lazy to move, and others carry all the black money"). The priority rule is nearest and easiest first — every chase burns stamina you could have spent on kills. The standout exception is The Tourist: 22 HP, restores stamina when smashed (VERIFIED screenshot), which effectively extends your run.
Piggy table
Named piggy types
| Piggy | Behavior | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Normalito | Standard | The baseline target |
| The Tourist | 22 HP, tiered loot (65% for $8-13, 3% for $85-125) | Restores stamina when smashed — hunt it |
| Woody | Runs away / evades | Chase only when it is close; pursuit burns stamina |
| Piñata | Explosive / burst | Cluster clearing (community reading) |
| El Loco | Erratic movement | High risk/reward target |
| More (unlocked later) | Unknown until unlocked | Each new type comes with a stat card (VERIFIED) |
Type names are VERIFIED from the Rike Games page; Tourist stats from a VERIFIED screenshot; Woody/Piñata/El Loco behavior is VERIFIED names with community-described behavior where gameplay not captured.
Target priority
Which piggy to smash first
- The Tourist — stamina restoration makes it the highest-value target whenever it appears.
- Nearby easy piggies — guaranteed kills, minimal stamina.
- Rare coins / valuable loot — collect drops before moving on.
- Fast or distant piggies — only when the desk is otherwise empty.
