She can ride the chair almost anywhere in the dream world (albeit very slowly), but will not be able to get off it until she returns it to her desk. Some areas are also inaccessible with the chair, such as:

*[[Yume Nikki:Sky Garden|Sky Garden]], as she can not go up The Stairway to the Sky.
*[[Yume Nikki:The Staircase of Hands|The Staircase of Hands]], as she can not sleep in any of the dream world's beds. Thus, she is also unable to reach [[Yume Nikki:Underground World|Underground World]], [[Yume Nikki:The Spaceship|The Spaceship]], and [[Yume Nikki:Mars|Mars]].
*[[Yume Nikki:Windmill World|Windmill World]] and the [[Yume Nikki:Docks A|Docks A]], as the slope into [[Yume Nikki:Big Red|Big Red]] is not traversable.

*[[Yume Nikki:Number World#Stairway|Number World's stairway]], as she can not go up the stairs there. The path can still be entered by using the Knife effect on the [[Yume Nikki:Zippertile|Zippertile]] prior to getting to it with the chair.
**[[Yume Nikki:Mini Hell|Mini Hell]] can also still be entered with the chair despite requiring the Knife effect if the Toriningen is stabbed prior to using the chair.
**[[Yume Nikki:Mini Hell|Mini Hell]] can also still be entered with the chair despite requiring the Knife effect if the Toriningen is stabbed prior to using the chair.
*The [[Yume Nikki:White Desert|White Desert]] areas containing [[Yume Nikki:Monoe|Monoe]], the [[Yume Nikki:Eye People|Eye People]], or the [[Yume Nikki:Severed Heads|Severed Heads]], as the Knife effect is required to be used get to all of them.

Effects can be equipped when sitting on the chair for the first time, the sole cause of [[Yume Nikki:Glitches|glitches]]. Equipping an effect while in the chair then riding it will cause the effect to stack with the chair. This results in the passive effect functioning and any effect action (besides sitting down) working as normal. The aforementioned areas remain inaccessible as Madotsuki is technically still in the chair, with the exception of Docks A, which can be entered from the Sewers if the Midget effect is equipped while in the chair.

=Unused effects=
These are effects that exist in the sprite sheets and have limited handling in the game's coding, but are not accessible in the game. These may be added in a future version of Yume Nikki.
 
==Blindfold==
[[File:Blindfold.png|right]]
'''Appearance:''' Madotsuki wears a black blindfold.
 
'''Speculation:''' A type of effect that affects what Madotsuki can (or can't) see.
 
==Grayscale==
[[File:Greyscale.png|right]]
'''Appearance:''' Madotsuki appears in monochrome.
 
'''Speculation:''' It's possible this was intended to be the appearance Madotsuki takes on in the [[Yume Nikki:White Desert|White Desert]], as there is no counterpart FC World sprite. If this is the case, then it's likely that it was dropped since it could cause confusion as to whether the White Desert was ''really'' white, or whether the effect was a result of a problem with the player's perception of it (as is the case with old monochrome photos).<br />
Allowing Madotsuki to retain her hues makes it clear that the player's vision is normal and that the world is white.
 
Another idea is that this is an effect that you get from the White Desert that makes Madotsuki (and possibly the room you are in) [[Yume Nikki:Monochrome|monochrome]].
 
Some of these sprites are used for [[Yume Nikki:Madotsuki's Ghost|Madotsuki's Ghost]] in Mini Hell.

Effect eggs in the Nexus.
The effects as they appear in the manga.

There are 24 proper effects in Yume Nikki (not including the Instructions). Each effect changes Madotsuki's appearance and some provide special abilities.

Gathering all 24 effects is considered to be the primary objective of the game, and only when all effects have been gathered can the player see the game's ending by leaving them all in the Nexus and waking up.

The effects are scattered throughout the dream world, and some are easier to find than others. Some are found by touching particular objects whereas others are received from interacting with certain characters.

While most of the effects are purely cosmetic, there are a few events and locations that are unreachable without them. They can be collected in almost any order, except for the Poop Hair effect, which requires either the Yuki-onna or Umbrella effect first. It is also recommended to get the Lamp effect before attempting to get the Knife or Witch effect, which both require traversing dark areas before getting them.

Descriptions and names in this article are given in the order of fan translation first, official translation second (if different), and original Japanese third.

Effects

（かえる）

Practical Uses: Can be used to douse the fire in the Blazing Corridor, although the Yuki-onna effect does the same thing. Can be used to stop the rain in the Dense Woods A if the effect is equipped and then unequipped.

  • Drawing NPCs toward you - Can be used to move NPCs that block your way or to find NPCs hidden in the area.

Notes: In most cases, this allows you to move characters out of your way without using the Knife effect to kill them. This may be in tune with the Maneki-neko being loosely associated with Guanyin, who is revered in Japan as Kannon (観音), the goddess of mercy and compassion. Maneki-neko with their left paw raised are also said to bring in people or customers, thus why it attracts certain NPCs.

Pseudo-effects

These are actions that work like effects, but are not added to Madotsuki's inventory and are not required to finish the game.

Chair

Chair.png

The chair in Madotsuki's dream room can be ridden when Madotsuki sits on it. Instead of writing in her diary, sitting at the desk and pressing Z (facing the desk) will let Madotsuki scoot the chair around her bedroom. She can ride the chair almost anywhere in the dream world (albeit very slowly), but will not be able to get off it until she returns it to her desk. Some areas are also inaccessible with the chair:

Effects can be equipped when sitting on the chair for the first time, the sole cause of glitches. Equipping an effect while in the chair then riding it will cause the effect to stack with the chair. This results in the passive effect functioning and any effect action (besides sitting down) working as normal. The aforementioned areas remain inaccessible as Madotsuki is technically still in the chair, with the exception of Docks A, which can be entered from the Sewers if the Midget effect is equipped while in the chair.

Crick in the Neck

Looking Left.png
Look left sit.png

The only involuntary effect, and the only one to be in the real world. Madotsuki has a random chance of waking up with a crick in her neck. She will constantly be looking left. As she does with no effect, pressing 1 will cause her to sit down. She is unable to write in her diary or play NASU. Going back to sleep and waking up again should solve the problem. Although Madotsuki will not dream that she has a crick in her neck, there is a matching FC World sprite that is unused, suggesting that it could have been an actual effect at some point.

Namekuji

Name3.png

When the Namekuji are interacted with, they appear above Madotsuki and start to wiggle. One of both types of Namekuji can appear at a time. They disappear once Madotsuki leaves Forest World.

Trivia

The mobile version's different effect names.
  • The Frog effect is the only effect that can be found in two separate locations: Forest World and Dense Woods B.
    • The Severed Head effect can technically also be obtained in two different areas, albeit they are variants of one world, them being the normal and big variants of Guillotine World.
  • When the English Steam release of Yume Nikki first came out, the translation mislabeled many effects with different names, such as the Fat effect being called "Get Fat", the Flute being named "Whistle", the Severed Head being called "Talking Head", the Demon effect being called the "Devil" effect, and the Instructions being called "Game Info". This was fixed 12 days after the original release.
    • Some of these incorrect names still appear in the FC World menu, and when picking up dropped effect eggs in the Nexus.
    • The mobile version of the game also features some different names, such as Midget being named "Dwarf", Medamaude being called "Evil Hand", Nopperabou being called "Faceless", and Severed Head being called "Chopped Head".
  • There are some unused effects that remain in the files of 0.10a, despite never being implemented in a previous versions.
  • In 0.10 and 0.10a, the Witch effect has a bug where, if the player floats with the broom in the Pink Sea, the Number World Bed Room, or the second Neon Tile Path area, the player's footsteps can still be heard while moving around.
  • In 0.10a, the Triangle Kerchief effect's cheek pinch animation always uses the graphic for the invisible state, even if you pressed 9 while visible.
    • The animation for waking up in this state also lacks the sprite transparency that the effect's invisible state typically has.
  • In versions before 0.10, some effects had different 1-key actions:
    • The Knife effect originally had Madotsuki stab the air instead of switching which hand the knife was in. Despite this action sharing its animation with the effect's actual function, it does not affect NPCs as if they have been stabbed.
    • The Triangle Kerchief originally made Madotsuki progressively more transparent when the 1 key was pressed, and less transparent when the 3 key was pressed. Toriningen could also still see and trap Madotsuki if she became fully transparent with the effect.
    • In 0.04, the Umbrella and Blonde Hair effects lacked 1-key actions altogether, though they gained their respective actions in 0.06.
