Gaming viva pinata questions

[iza]

Okay, after 10 days of watching my girlfriend play viva pinata while i was playing my pimp game. i finally decided to try it out, (and it pissed her off cuz in 2 days with one garden, i caught up to her in lvl... and she has like 15 gardens). I am suprised as to how much i liked it. at first i was majorly turned off by the cutesy graphichs. but then i got to thinking about kingdom hearts... hell i rescued king mickey with donald and goofy, i can play with pinatas. so after a little research (most sites are blocked here at work), i still have tons of questions about this game. so does anyone else still play this?

ps... how do i get the mallowolf? it says it needs a resident one to visit, but how do you get a resident one if you cant get them to visit....

edit: guess im to late for the pinata bandwagon, eh?

edit's edit; maybe i'm being too specific... anyone got any game play tips other than making money? got tons of that...
