Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Snow is falling in Springfield! It’s finally Christmas time…but Kodos and Kang have their own ideas! Ticked off that they were left out of the Halloween update, our two favorite Rigellians have decided to invade Christmas!
This Event is broken up into 2 Acts, with each Acts containing part of the story. To help you move along with the event you’ll get several prizes per Act. Each prize will either be something fun for Springfield or something to help you move along in the event. For the second act, you’re tasked with collecting Tomes (
The first Act 2 Prize awarded at 1,900
So let’s take a closer look at this first prize and just what happens when you unlock it in your Springfield…
Once you’ve collected 1,900
Once unlocked you’ll see Gautama Buddha’s unlock message…
And he’s the first character in the B.S. League Character Collection…
Buddha will be an important part of the main questline, as you’ll need him to complete many tasks (including Alien Battles). Once you’ve FINISHED the main questline then it’s best to start working on his sidequest (it’ll pop up once you unlock him, but you should wait to work on it until you’ve finished the main questline). Here’s a look at the Turbo Tappin’ version of that questline now:

Gautama Buddha: Lisa, too often you follow only the way of self-restraint and self-mortification. But The Middle Way lies between asceticism and self-indulgence. I’ve taught you that, occasionally, it’s good to have a good time. And I looked good doing it.
