The hungry [[Meerca]] is back - in the new improved '''Meerca Chase II'''!!! Race around the screen collecting [[Negg]]s of all different colours, from the lowly Happy Negg (yellow) to the super-rare Fish Negg. Avoid the Red Neggs at all cost - run into one of these and it's game over.

This game runs a lot faster than the original, along with two new modes to play. ''Freestyle'' allows you to rotate instead of turning in 90-degree angles. ''Maze'' adds an extra element to the game field - evil hedges of death!

==Secrets==
* If you click on the Meerca's eye after you lose, the [[TNT]] member [[TPOSG]] takes the Meerca's place.

There are two secret levels which can be accessed...

*'''Gravity Mode''' - type in "superextrahypergravitymode" (no spaces)
*'''Moving Red Neggs (ferocious neggs)''' - type in "ferociousneggsareontheloose" (no spaces)

==Trivia==
*The original [[Meerca Chase]] was sent to the [[Game Graveyard]] in Year 7. The same version of the game can still be played in the newer version of Meerca Chase, but with better graphics and control.
*Submitting a score of 1,250 or more will award user with an [[avatar]] released on August 18, 2004.
*The average difficulty is 4.8 as of December 8 2009.

Game Graveyard

68.148.15.236:

{{Construction| reason=Article needs to be wikified, and specific dates games were added to the game graveyard are needed}}
The Game Graveyard is a place where games go when they are '''dead'''(retired).'''Dead''' games are often recreated into newer versions with better graphics, or are given a sequel.
==Summary==
The '''Game Graveyard'''. It's where dead games go. Games so horrible, so scary they had to be removed from the site, but now, thanks to the Graveyard, they live on! These games have been taken down from Neopets for various reasons, and will not be able to send scores for [[NP]], or post in the high score tables (as they don't exist anymore).

==Games==
As of January 2008, the following games are in the Game Graveyard...

{{construction|reason=Detailed pet overview}}
The '''Shoyru''' is a small [[wikipedia:dragon|dragon]]-like Neopet released on April 20, 2000.

==Overview==
The Shoyru was originally created by a user in a "Create-A-Pet" competition run on the site. Since that time, their design has remained relatively unchanged.Shoyrus are also fantastic flyers who love to soar through the skies. Contrary to popular belief, Shoyrus do not breathe fire,unlike most dragons, and they do in fact possess two eyes.

Shoyrus have the distinction of placing first in [http://www.neopets.com/topneopets.phtml Neopet popularity]. They comprise roughly 6.24% of all Neopets created.

==Colours==
As of April 2009, Shoyrus come in 50 different [[Rainbow Pool|colours]]:

==Trivia==
*As of October 2009, there are over 16 million Shoyrus in existence. On an average, five thousand Shoyrus are born per day. They are also featured in 122 different [[item]]s. They are the most popular Neopet in Neopia.
*''Shoyru Day'' is April 2nd.
*In the [[Neopets TCG]], Shoyrus are associated with the element of [[Air Faerie|Air]].
*Shoyrus are featured in a total of 6 [[avatar]]s, including the '''Bless You, Shoyru''' avatar, which is obtained by blessing one's pet Shoyru with a Bottled Faerie.
*The Shoyru is one of 10 Neopets whose animation on the "All the Neopets" page includes a sound effect.
* Shoyru's legs are based on the Pokemon Mew, though they look more like Charmander's.

The Stone Paint Brush was a paint brush that allowed the user to make their neopet a stone color.

When it was retired, Stone pets were automatically transformed into island pets. The Paint Brushes are still in circulation and able to be bought from user shops, however they will no longer work to paint pets, nor make them Island, ultimatly making them a collectors item.

Paint Brush

68.148.15.236: /* Unusable Paint Brushes */

{{construction|reason=Overview of article needed, discussion of main wiki image to use, and completion of a Petpet Paint Brush list}}

[[Image:Neopets PBs.PNG|thumb|An example of some of the 52 Paint Brushes]]

A '''Paint Brush''' is a special [[item]] which gives the user the ability to change the [[colour]] of one of their [[Neopet]]s. Paint Brushes were originally found by [[Random Event]]s, which means they can be bought from other user's [[shop]]s or [[Auctions]], and are also given away as prizes from [[Contests]]. Special Paint Brushes can also be bought in the [[Hidden Tower]], and newer [[plots]] also allow users to buy Paint Brushes with the points they collected from participating (the first plot to do this was the [[Lost Desert Plot]], which rewarded the '''Lost Desert Paint Brush''' for 70,000 points). The recent addition of Key Quest to the site provided an additional method of gaining Paint Brushes by allowing players to win certain Paint Brushes as prizes, including the Biscuit, Camouflage, Cloud, Ghost, Glowing, Striped, Snow, Speckled, Starry and Tyrannian Paint Brushes. There are also Petpet paint brushes, which change the colour of a [[Petpet]].

In addition to providing new ''colours'' for Neopets, some paint brush colours seem more costume-like and fanciful, such as Halloween, Plushie and Tyrannian. Some paint brushes are rarer than others, but aside from the no-trade starter brushes, they all rank expensive items.

To use a paint brush on a Neopet, a proper paint brush colour scheme must be available for the chosen Neopet, then the user must go to the [[Rainbow Pool]], where its waters allow the brushes' magic to work. Using just a paint brush on a Neopet or going to the Rainbow Pool will not change the colour of the Neopet, as both must be used in conjunction for the magic to work. A Paint brush can only be used once, and after using it on a Neopet, it will disappear. The Rainbow Pool should not be confused with the [[Rainbow Fountain]].

==Paint Brush Relations==
Some paint brushes have a link to worlds of Neopia. Usually so they can fit in there or just for a nice new look.

*[[Neopia Central]] - Plushie Paint Brush
*[[Meridell]] - Royal Paint Brush
*[[Maraqua]] - Maraquan Paint Brush
*[[Tyrannia]] - Tyrannian, Stone Paint Brushes
*[[Haunted Woods]] - Halloween, Ghost Paint Brushes
*[[Terror Mountain]] - Snow, Christmas Paint Brushes
*[[Mystery Island]] - Island Paint Brush
*[[Krawk Island]] - Pirate Paint Brush
*[[Darigan Citadel]] - Darigan Paint Brush
*[[Neovia]] - Zombie Paint Brush
*[[Lost Desert]] - Desert Paint Brush
*[[Faerieland]] - Faerie Paint Brush
*[[Lutari Island]] - Lutari Island Paint Brush

==Non-Paint Brush Relations==
Some worlds do not have a paint brush but are still related in some way to the world to fit in. These colors can be received by other means then painting.

*Virtupets Space Station-Robot
*Jelly World-Jelly
*Terror Mountain-Ice

==Non-Paint Brush Painting==
Paint brushes can change a pet into most of its available colours, but not necessarily all. Some colours are only available via the [[Lab Ray]] including [[Robot]], Ice, Sponge, and [[MSP]]. Any colour (except Baby, Pirate, Plushie, Quiguki, Royal, and Usuki) can be given by the lab ray without need of a paint brush. Additionally, there is no Mutant Paint Brush; the only away of obtaining a mutant pet is for a player to use a Transmogrification Potion of the species he or she wants on the pet, or to get it through the lab or [[Rainbow Fountain]]. Players sometimes accidentally feed Potions to their pets, thinking they will get the colour or species change but only using it on the pet gets the desired effect.

Often, Morphing Potions and Magical Plushies are available to change a Neopet into a different species and/or colour, and are, for some of the more popular combinations, a much cheaper option that a paint brush.

Additionally, all fruit/vegetable colours (other than Strawberry) can not be obtained with a Paint Brush. These are available with a [[Magical Chia Pop]], through the Lab Ray, or the [[Rainbow Fountain]]. Chia Pops, with very few exceptions, only work on Chias. They will not turn a player's pet into a Chia.

With the exception of a few Chia fruit/vegetable colours, there are some colours that are available to only one or two pet species. Examples of this? No pet other than the [[Aisha]] can be "Alien," and Usuki paint brushes only work on [[Usul]]s and [[Quiggle]]s.

==Unusable Paint Brushes==
Very rarely, a paint brush colour is retired. The paint brushes become unusable (and in the case of the Unicorn brush, disappear completely) and pets painted the retired colour no longer remain it, but may be changed to a newer version. An example of this occurred on the 8th of January, 2002, when the Glass Paint Brush was retired, and replaced with the Tyrannian Paint Brush. Some of the glass pets were turned into the newer Tyrannian versions (the Shoyru was one of the first Tyrannian Pets), while the others remained as glass pets until a Tyrannian version was made for each of them. The list of retired brushes is:

*'''Glass''' - Glass coloured pets were automatically repainted the Island colour.
*'''Jelly''' - The Jelly Paint Brush is a special case as the item was never released and, most likely, never will be , despite the fact that the image can be found in the image database.
*'''Shadowed''' - Now the Shadow colour.
*'''Lutari''' - A colour similar to Mystery Island. No pets were ever released in this colour, so the item is not usable. It does ''not'' "paint" a pet into a Lutari.
*'''Stars''' - Now the Starry colour.
*'''Stone''' - Stone coloured pets were automatically repainted the Tyrannian colour.
*'''Unicorn''' - Replaced by the ''Unicorn Gem'', later renamed to the ''Uni Gem''.

Note that, if the actual paint brush (as an item) is retired, it does not always mean it cannot be used. Paint brushes such as the Lost Desert Paint Brush, the Faerie Paint Brush, the Golden Paint Brush, and others are retired, but may still be used and [[The Neopets Team]] continue to make these colours available for new species.

==Petpet Paint Brush==
A [[Petpet]] Paint Brush is designed for painting Petpets a specific colour. They work much in the same way as a Paint Brush for Neopets - they are used at the [[Petpet Puddle]], akin to the Rainbow Pool, to paint a Petpet attached to a user's Neopet.

Interestingly, many colours that Neopets cannot obtain with a Paint Brush, only with alternative means such as via the [[Treasure Maps#Secret Laboratory|Secret Laboratory]], are available as a Paint Brush for Petpets, such as [[Robot]] or [[Mutant]] colours.

As of March 2009, there are 38 different Petpet Paint Brushes...

==Trivia==
*On May 15th, 2002, the Baby colour won the first Paint Brush competition.
*The second [http://www.neopets.com/comps/newpaintbrush.phtml Paint Brush competition] between the Tartan, Mystery Island and Pirate colours went live on May 16th, 2002. Pirate won the majority with 194,375 total votes.
*There are three colours only available by using a Paint Brush: [[Royal]], [[Usuki]], and [[Quiguki]]. These colours are not available through the [[Rainbow Fountain]] or the [[Lab Ray]].
*It is rumored that the lutari island paintbrush will be called the Tropical Paintbrush.
*The paint brush, ''Strawberry Fields Forever Paint Brush'', is based on the Beatles song '[[wikipedia:Strawberry Fields Forever|Strawberry Fields Forever]]'.
