Pumpkins

After completing the game on a save file, Pumpkins spawn on the levels. They are hidden until the player is close to them, however they make the music quiet and make special ambient sound to hint on their location. There is one of them on each stage, besides bosses, Tutorial and Secrets of The World. Collecting all 20 of available ones, the door in Tower Lobby will be open, leading to the exclusive stage Tricky Treat, which allows the player to get last 10. Every 5 pumpkin collected gives the player a new pattern outfit.

Chef Tasks

There are two Chef Tasks dedicated specifically to Tricky Treat:

Pumpkin Munchkin Find all of the hidden pumpkins in the game.
