CarnivalCoreMZ – Carnival Games Framework for RPG Maker MZ

Turn any RPG Maker MZ map into a working carnival midway.

CarnivalCoreMZ is a single-file framework that gives you ten fully playable carnival games, a shared prize-and-ticket economy, and a clean extension API — with zero image assets required. Every booth, bottle, balloon and prize plush is drawn procedurally, so it works the moment you enable the plugin, and it can be re-skinned with your own art whenever you’re ready.

Part of the MZ Minigame Collection. This plugin is one of a growing library of themed minigames for RPG Maker MZ, from board games and puzzles to sports, casino and crafting. Mix and match to fill your world with things to do.

The games

Built like a real carnival booth

• Striped awning with chasing marquee bulbs, bunting, planked back wall, perspective floor and a candy-striped counter
• Prize shelves of plush bears and ducks that sparkle
• Hanging wooden sign with each game’s name
• Projectiles you hold at the counter, a drop-shadow that tracks the arc, motion trails and confetti bursts on hits
• Segmented arcade-style AIM and POWER meters with a landing marker so aiming feels fair

Made for eventers

One plugin command starts a game and hands the results straight back to your event:

• Score → Variable · Prize tier → Variable · Won prize → Switch · Common Event after
• Built-in ticket currency (every prize tier awards tickets to a variable you choose)
• Optional gold cost to play, time limit, difficulty (easy / normal / hard), and a Booth menu that lets players pick any game
• Per-game stats (plays, best score) saved with the game; “NEW RECORD!” shown on the result screen
• Full touch support — tap to lock meters, tap a Plinko column or duck to pick
