Bills Must Be Paid Piggy Banks: Types and Smash Priority

Quick answer

Piggies: smash near-first, and know who restores stamina

Every piggy drops random loot; types differ in behavior, HP, and payouts. 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, which effectively extends your run.

Piggy table

Named piggy types

Type names come from the Rike Games page; Tourist stats come from an official screenshot. Woody, Piñata, and El Loco behaviour is described by players where we do not have gameplay footage.

Target priority

Which piggy to smash first

1. The Tourist — stamina restoration makes it the highest-value target whenever it appears.
2. Nearby easy piggies — guaranteed kills, minimal stamina.
3. Rare coins / valuable loot — collect drops before moving on.
4. Fast or distant piggies — only when the desk is otherwise empty.
