Tsum Tsum Intl permanent Tsums for high scores

Most "best score Tsum" lists are topped by limited Tsums you can only pull during a short event window. That's no help if you just want something to spend coins on today. So this list sticks to Tsums that, per the Fandom wiki, sit permanently in the Intl Premium Box (the wiki's "Resident Tsums" category; since June 30, 2020 the Intl Premium Box no longer rotates, so every resident Tsum is in it all the time).

The short version:

Maleficent is the classic score Tsum with the highest ceiling here, but she rewards practice
Jessie and Lightning McQueen have the highest max Tsum score of the five (1,236 and 1,276) and are easy to play
Rapunzel is the "connect anything" Tsum, great for long chains and Fever
Pete is a solid center-clear, but maxing him on Intl is expensive

None of these will beat a top limited Tsum. They're the ones that are always there when you open a box.

The five at a glance

Skill text, Tsums needed to trigger and the Tsum score range (Lv 1 – Lv max) below match on both Fandom and Tsum Tsum Central.

Tsum	Skill (short)	To trigger	Tsum score
Maleficent	Clears Tsums around each chain you make, for a few seconds	23	70 – 805
Jessie	Center clear; hold your finger down to grow it	15	60 – 1,236
Lightning McQueen	Drives toward your first tap, clearing a path	13	100 – 1,276
Rapunzel	Lets you chain different Tsums together	14	90 – 825
Pete	Clears a big area in the center	28 → 14 (by skill level)	70 – 805

"Tsum score" is the per-Tsum base score you raise with Tsum level, not your run total.

Maleficent: highest ceiling, needs practice

Her skill lasts 3.3 s at SL1 up to 6 s at SL6 (Fandom and Tsum Tsum Central agree). During that window every chain you clear also takes out the Tsums around it. That means the skill only pays off if you already have chains lined up before you pop it, and you keep linking fast for the whole window.

Her trigger cost (23) is the highest of the five, so she fires less often. Our take: if you enjoy fast chaining, she's the most rewarding permanent pick. If you just want to relax, pick Jessie or McQueen.

Watch: Maleficent at Skill 6

If the video doesn't load: Maleficent Gameplay Skill 6 (MooGaming)

It's an older (2017) single run on an English client, so treat it as a feel for the skill, not a benchmark. Watch for two things: the player starts linking immediately when the dark vine background appears, and the best skill windows are the ones where the board was already full of matching Tsums. The score shown is one player's run; game balance has changed since, so we don't quote it as a target.

Jessie and Lightning McQueen: easy, high Tsum score

These two have the highest base Tsum score of the list, which matters more as you level them toward max.

Jessie (15 to trigger): hold down after the skill starts and the clear area grows. If you're not aiming for a specific bubble, just keep holding until it pops on its own (Fandom's tip).
Lightning McQueen (13 to trigger): he drives toward your first tap. Aim diagonally across the board; a straight vertical path clears the least (Fandom). If you wait too long, he goes straight up by himself.

Both trigger cheaply, so you get lots of skills and lots of Fever chances in one run. Good first picks if you're new to score play.

Rapunzel: chain anything

Her skill lets you link different Tsums in one chain. Chain length grows with skill level (14 at SL1, 31 at SL6 per Fandom; 未確認 / unconfirmed on a second source). Tips from Fandom: fit as many Rapunzels into the chain as you can to recharge her, and drag in a big Tsum for extra length. Long chains also make big bubbles, so she's a decent Fever engine.

Pete: steady, but pricey to max on Intl

Pete clears a fixed center area; higher skill levels make him cheaper to trigger (28 → 14) rather than wider. On Intl he needs 50 Tsums in total to reach SL6 (1 / 2 / 4 / 6 / 12 / 25). Fandom and Tsum Tsum Central both give that number. Full chart: Intl skill upgrade chart. If you already have him high, he's fine. We wouldn't chase him.

How to pick

New to score play: Jessie or Lightning McQueen
Want the best permanent ceiling and like fast chains: Maleficent
Want bubbles and Fever: Rapunzel
Already have Pete leveled: use him; otherwise skip

Leveling any of these costs coins. If you're short, see our hearts and 200-coin basics and the September Intl Tsums coin ranking. For a lighter look at your box, try "Good guy" Tsums.
