Card Tips:Performapal Hip Hippo
- This card can be searched by "Super Hippo Carnival", "Performapal Skullcrobat Joker", "Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer", "Performapal Secondonkey", "Performapal Call", "Performapal Pinch Helper", "Performapal Longphone Bull", "Performapal Parrotrio", "Rescue Cat", "Super-Nimble Mega Hamster", "Key Mouse", "Melffy Catty", "Armored White Bear", "Kittytail, Mystical Beast of the Forest", "Desmanian Devil", "Ninjitsu Art of Transformation", "Aussa the Earth Charmer, Immovable", "Giant Rat", "BOXer", "Frontline Observer", "Sphere of Chaos", "Serpentine Princess", "Battle Royal Mode - Joining", "Vampire Dragon", "Rescue Ferret", "Umbramirage the Elemental Lord", "Sangan", "Witch of the Black Forest", and other generic searchers.
- This card works well with "Behemoth the King of All Animals".
- Use this card with "Evil HERO Malicious Edge".
- Better cards would be "Light and Darkness Dragon" as this does not count as a Special Summon, and "Mega Monarch", especially "Granmarg the Mega Monarch" to get its EARTH Tributing effect from this card.
- Use "Double Summon" for an additional 2 Normal Summons as the effect of "Hip Hippo" doesn't count towards the effect of "Double Summon".
- This card can be mildly useful in a "Dark Magician" Deck, acting as a backup plan to "Legion the Fiend Jester" and "Double Coston" to Tribute Summon "Dark Magician". The advantage this card has over "Double Coston" is that it grants the ability for an additional Tribute Summon alongside the Normal Summoning of "Hip Hippo", which allows "Dark Magician" to hit the field faster without the use of cards like "Double Summon". While "Legion" is better than "Hip Hippo" for this purpose, "Hip Hippo" can be a useful substitute if "Legion" isn't available.
- This card can be useful in a "Kaiju" Deck; its effect would, provided there is another monster already on your field ("Unknown Synchron" is a good option), allow yourself to Tribute Summon a powerful high-Level "Kaiju" without having to Summon one to the opponent's field.
Traditional Format[edit]
- This card can be searched by "Performapal Monkeyboard" and "Last Will".
