The Nature Sprites’ Cheer Squad is a bazaar mechanic designed to boost sales at your bazaar stall.
When you trigger the special “Cheer Time” during the bazaar, all five Nature Sprites gather at your stall to cheer you on, granting temporary buffs that improve bulk sales, raise item quality, increase item freshness, and extend the length of your “Cheer Time”.
These effects help to dramatically increase your profits during each bazaar day.
How the Mechanic Works
Step 1: Building the Cheer Gauge
In the top-left corner of the bazaar screen you’ll see the Cheer Squad gauge, with icons for the five Nature Sprites shown just below it.
The gauge fills gradually each time you sell an item to a customer.
When the gauge fills completely, one Nature Sprite icon will light up, indicating that the corresponding sprite is now available to join the Cheer Squad during Cheer Time.
The gauge can continue to be filled multiple times within the same bazaar session, lighting up additional sprite icons as more sprites are recruited.
Step 2: Activating Cheer Time
After the Cheer Squad gauge has been filled at least once, you can activate Cheer Time and make use of the effects provided by any lit-up Nature Sprite icon.
To activate Cheer Time, press ZL and your player character will ring a special bell that summons the Nature Sprites.
Step 3: Cheer Time Mode
During Cheer Time, the game shifts into a unique first-person mode.
Customers will gather rapidly at the stall, and you can sell items in quick succession by repeatedly pressing the A button.
The gauge in the top-left corner during Cheer Time displays the remaining duration.
It decreases rapidly while Cheer Time is active, and once it is fully depleted, Cheer Time ends.
The base duration of Cheer Time is approximately 15 seconds per participating Nature Sprite. The total duration increases with the number of sprites recruited, and additional bonuses can further extend this time.

Cheer Bonus (Bazaar Results)
At the end of each bazaar shift (morning and afternoon), the results screen will display a line labeled “Cheer Bonus”.
This value shows the total amount of additional profit you earned from all Cheer Time effects during that session. The bonus includes money gained from quality boosts, freshness boosts, extra items purchased, and any other sprite effects that increase sales.
