Super Summer Royale Returns to Super Animal Royale with Three Weeks of Challenges

Super Animal Royale's Super Summer Royale event is now live, overlapping with last week's Super Natural update and running until Friday, July 31st.

What changed

Event mechanics

  • Fruit baskets and sand castles are scattered across the island — fruit provides a quick heal, sand castles drop resources
  • A beach ball can be found and kicked in matches as part of one challenge

Week 1 challenge rewards (five total to earn)

  • Lantern Hat — collect 1,000 fruit
  • 1,500 XP — find and kick a beach ball in a match (5 times)
  • Happi outfit — get Bullpup kills (5)
  • 750 Carl Coins — smash sand castles (10)
  • Takoyaki melee — get kills (12)

New breed

  • Super Sausage Octopus, unlockable at Research Lab Level 70 and described as a permanent addition

Post-Super Natural fixes

  • Updates to the Social Hub's day-night cycle
  • Changes to the Merc Class in SAW vs. Rebellion mode, both described as player-requested

SAW Shop

  • Three new items added by Macawsome (full item list was cut off in the source)

For players who have been working through the Museum of Super Natural History, the event layers in a parallel set of short-term goals to chase without displacing the longer-season content.
