There are 24 effects that the player can find, each of which affects [[Madotsuki]]'s appearance and often abilities. Very few players achieve the goal of gathering all effects alone, and walkthroughs exist mainly to help find each one.

== Frog ==
[[File:Kimg011.jpg|thumb|240px|The effects as they appear in the [[Yume Nikki:Official Manga|manga]].]]
'''Optional Effect:''' Madotsuki hops when "1" is pressed
The main objective in ''[[Yume Nikki:Yume Nikki|Yume Nikki]]'' is to collect the '''24 effects''' found throughout [[Yume Nikki:List of Locations|the dream world]]. Some effects grant unique abilities that can be used to access certain [[Yume Nikki:events|events]] or locations; the rest are mostly cosmetic.


'''Involuntary Effect:''' Madotsuki's head becomes that of a frog and she now moves faster in water[[File:Effect_frog.png|thumb]]
Effects are found by interacting with objects or [[Yume Nikki:List of Characters#Effect NPCs|certain characters]]. All effect-givers are unique, each appearing only once in the dream world. They can be collected in 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 early, as a couple other effects require passing through dark areas.


'''Where Found:''' [[List_of_locations#Forest_World|Forest World]], or the Dense Woods -- You can get to the Dense Woods from the sewer in the mall, then right after you should find the frog. In the Forest World, the frog is near a clump of trees.
Effects can be dropped in the [[Yume Nikki:Nexus|Nexus]] by pressing ''5''. They appear as eggs and are removed from the menu. Once all 24 effects are dropped, the player can access the [[Yume Nikki:Ending|ending]].


'''Other Uses: ''' When transported by a balloon into the pink water in the [[List_of_locations#Pastel_Shoal_World|Pastel Shoal World]], this effect lets Madotsuki move faster.
The names used for effects come from the ''Uboachan'' fan translation, due to its historic use by most (English-speaking) players. The original Japanese and/or official translation names are stated below each header.

'''Notes:''' In most cases, this allows you to move characters out of your way without using the Knife effect to kill them.

Maneki-neko with their left paw raised are also said to bring in people or customers, thus why it attracts certain NPCs.

'''（じてんしゃ）'''
[[File:Bicycle.png|right]]
[[File:Bicycle_Egg.png|right]]
[[File:Madotsuki_Bicycle.png|right|frame]]
''Ride a bicycle / Mount a bicycle.''


'''Other Uses:''' When the light is red, it affects NPCs in a couple of ways:
'''Appearance:''' Madotsuki rides a bicycle.
#All NPCs will freeze in place, which is useful for avoiding [[Toriningen]] or catching fast-moving characters.
#Some characters change appearance, including:
*[[Monoko]]: Transforms into her five-armed state. Also allows access to her full-screen event when interacted with.

*The round creatures in the Number World: Transform slightly.
*[[The Thing with the Quivering Jaw]]: Its jaw stops quivering


== Instructions ==
'''Passive Effect:''' Madotsuki's speed is doubled. She is unable to enter the restrooms in Block World and Graffiti World and cannot enter [[Yume Nikki:Beds|beds]] when it is equipped.
'''Optional Effect:''' Instructions appear on screen when the effect is selected


'''Involuntary Effect''': None
'''Action:''' (1) Madotsuki rings the bicycle's bell.


Where Found: Madotsuki starts with this effect
'''Location:''' [[Yume Nikki:Graffiti World|Graffiti World]] - Pick it up off the floor.


'''Other Uses: '''To understand the game, these can be read
'''Practical Uses:''' Can be used to travel through the dream world much faster than by walking, catch fast-moving characters like the Dwarf and Nekoin, and escape from lunatic Toriningen.{{clear}}


== Pseudo-effects ==
===Long Hair<span id="Long Hair （ロングヘアー）"></span>===
'''（ロングヘアー）'''
[[File:Long_hair.png|right]]
[[File:Long_Hair_Egg.png|right]]
''Grow long hair / Grow long hair.''


=== Chair ===
'''Appearance:''' Madotsuki's hair becomes longer.
The chair in [[Madotsuki's_Room|Madotsuki's dream room]] can be ridden when Madotsuki sits on it then pulls the chair away


'''Optional Effect:''' Madotsuki gets off the chair when "Z" is pressed
'''Passive Effect:''' None.


'''Involuntary Effect''': Madotsuki hops to places now while sitting on her chair
'''Action:''' (1) Madotsuki sits down (same as default).


'''Where Found:'''[[Madotsuki's_Room|Madotsuki's dream room]]
'''Location:''' [[Yume Nikki:Mural World|Mural World]] - Interact with the long-haired [[Yume Nikki:Mouth Monster|Mouth Monster]].


'''Other Uses: '''Speed Glitch (see below)
'''Practical Uses:''' None.


==== Speed Glitch ====
===Poop Hair<span id="Poop Hair / Poo Hair (ウンコヘアー)"></span>===
Sitting in the chair (above), then equipping an Effect will cause the player to double their speed upon getting up. Although Madotsuki will appear as her normal sprite (until going to an 8-bit map), her effect will be active. The bicycle is the most commonly used effect for this, which more than quadruples her speed. The Speed Glitch is an oversight caused by allowing the player to use the menu in the chair.
'''Poo Hair（ウンコヘアー）'''
[[File:Poop_hair.png|right]]
[[File:Poop_hair_Egg.png|right]]
''I certainly hope it's hair / Grow poo hair.''


'''Optional Effect:''' Madotsuki will sit if 1 is pressed, but the other effect will try to happen as well. (e.g. with the bike, the bell will also ring.) If you switch effects in the menu, speed boost wears off.
'''Appearance:''' Madotsuki's hairstyle is done up to resemble poop. At least we hope so.


'''Involuntary Effect''': Madotsuki's speed increases dramatically + any other involuntary effects associated with used Effect aside from appearance-related effects (after getting off the chair). In FC World, however, Madotsuki takes the form of the effect.
'''Passive Effect:''' None.


'''Where Found:''' [[Madotsuki's_Room|Madotsuki's dream room]]
'''Action:''' (1) Madotsuki drops a fly which buzzes around in place.


'''Other Uses: '''None
'''Location:''' [[Yume Nikki:Underground World|Underground World Storage Room]] - Interact with the poop-haired [[Yume Nikki:Mouth Monster|Mouth Monster]].


==== Hyperspeed Glitch ====
'''Practical Uses:''' Can be used to mark locations for a short time, though only in the same room/area.
[[Image:Ynhyper.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Instructions]]
Similar to the speed glitch, it utilises the chair and the bicycle to reach two times the speed the Speed Glitch gives. In all other ways it is the same as the speed glitch. To use it, equip the Bicycle while in the chair, then ride the chair. Go to [[The Nexus]] and use 5 to drop the bicycle effect, then pick it back up. Go to the menu and equip any effect; bicycle is used for the fastest speed. Go back to Madotsuki's dream room and enter the now-invisible chair. Exit it to enter hyperspeed. The speed for other effects equals the speed of the speed glitch bicycle, while the bicycle hyperspeed is incredibly fast, equal to the speed of the [[List of locations#Candle World|Candle World]] [[Toriningen]].


'''Optional Effect:''' Madotsuki will sit if 1 is pressed, but the other effect will try to happen as well. (e.g. with the bike, the bell will also ring.) If you switch effects in the menu, speed boost wears off.
===Blonde Hair<span id="Blonde Hair / Blonde （ブロンド）"></span>===
'''Blonde（ブロンド）'''
[[File:Blonde_hair.png|right]]
[[File:Blonde_hair_Egg.png|right]]
''Grow long, golden hair / Glow long blonde hair.''


'''Involuntary Effect''': Madotsuki's speed increases dramatically + any other involuntary effects associated with used Effect aside from appearance-related effects (after getting off the chair). In FC world, however, Madotsuki takes the form of the effect.
'''Appearance:''' Madotsuki's hair becomes long and blonde.


'''Where Found:''' [[Madotsuki's_Room|Madotsuki's dream room]]
'''Passive Effect:''' None.


'''Other Uses: '''None
'''Action:''' (1) Madotsuki sits down (same as default).


== Unused effects ==
'''Location:''' [[Yume Nikki:Mural World|Mural World]] - Interact with the blond-haired [[Yume Nikki:Mouth Monster|Mouth Monster]].
These effects exist in the sprite sheets, and have unconfirmed uses, if they will even be implemented in the future.


=== Blindfold ===
'''Practical Uses:''' None.
Madotsuki wears a blindfold.


=== Grayscale ===
===Triangle Kerchief<span id="Spirit Headband"></span><span id="Triangle Kerchief / Spirit Headband (ずきん）"></span>===
Madotsuki appears in grayscale. (Used for Madotsuki's Ghost, but is much more extensive. Listed as an unused effect because it is created as if it were originally meant to be used as one.)
'''Spirit Headband（ずきん）'''
[[File:Triangle_Kerchief.png|right]]
[[File:Triangle_Kerchief_Egg.png|right]]
''Wear triangle kerchief / Put on a Spirit Headband.''


=== Will o' the Whisp ===
'''Appearance:''' Madotsuki wears a triangle kerchief as a tiara, symbolizing death in Japanese culture.
Madotsuki becomes a small flame-like spirit and wears the Triangle Kerchief, a possible alternate form for her "transparent" state.
 
'''Passive Effect:''' In the 'ghost form', Madotsuki is invisible to NPCs.
 
'''Action:''' (1) Madotsuki transforms into an 'invisible' ghost and becomes translucent.
 
'''Location:''' [[Yume Nikki:Ghost World|Ghost World]] - Catch and interact with [[Yume Nikki:Fleebie|Fleebie]].
 
'''Practical Uses:''' When in 'ghost form', lunatic Toriningen can be avoided as Madotsuki is invisible to them, but they will trap her if she interacts with them intentionally.
[[File:YN Triangle Kerchief Usage.png|thumb|center|250px|Madotsuki safely close to two Toriningen thanks to the Triangle Kerchief effect.]]

'''Appearance:''' Madotsuki becomes dressed like a witch, with a pointed hat and robe.
 
'''Passive Effect:''' None.
 
'''Action:''' (1) Madotsuki mounts a broom and floats a short distance from the ground.
 
'''Location:''' [[Yume Nikki:Witch's Island|Witch's Island]] - Interact with [[Yume Nikki:Kimajo|Kimajo]].
 
'''Practical Uses:''' Can be used to fly off the [[Yume Nikki:Mall#Mall Rooftop|Mall Rooftop]]. Pressing Z returns to the rooftop, and pressing 1 dismounts the broom in midair, causing Madotsuki to fall out of bed and wake up.{{clear}}

'''Appearance:''' Madotsuki transforms into a Demon. Her skin turns red, horns appear on her head and she wears some sort of animal skin.
 
'''Passive Effect:''' None.
 
'''Action:''' (1) When it's raining, a clap of thunder and lightning can be produced.
 
'''Location:''' [[Yume Nikki:FC House|FC Basement]] - Interact with the [[Yume Nikki:FC Demon|FC Demon]].
 
'''Practical Uses:''' Can be used to summon the FC Demon in the Pyramids area of [[Yume Nikki:FC World B|FC World B]] any time the area is entered with the effect equipped, giving a warp to the FC Demon's room in FC House. Without the effect, it is normally a 1 in 8 chance.

'''Action:''' (1) Switches stoplight between green and red.
 
'''Location:''' [[Yume Nikki:Road|Dense Woods B (The Road)]] - Interact with [[Yume Nikki:Shitai-san|Shitai-san]].
 
'''Practical Uses:'''

'''Tutorial（ゲームのせつめい）'''
 
''See the instructions again / Review the game's tutorial.''
 
The instructions appear as a menu item like the 24 effects. Using it displays a basic tutorial on how to play the game. Madotsuki starts with this effect and can use it in any area, including the real world.
 
<center>
[[File:Instructions.gif]]
[[File:Instructions2.gif]]
</center>
 
===Chair===
[[File:Madotsuki chair faceset.png|right]]
The chair in [[Yume Nikki:Madotsuki's Room#Dream Representation|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:
*[[Yume Nikki:FC Worlds|FC Worlds]]. [[Yume Nikki:Pirori|Pirori]] in the [[Yume Nikki:Barracks Settlement|Barracks Settlement]] will not teleport you, and the [[Yume Nikki:Static Maze|Static Maze]] and [[Yume Nikki:Static Tunnel|Static Tunnel]] warps both do not function.
*[[Yume Nikki:Sky Garden|Sky Garden]], as she can not go up the Stairway to the Sky.
*[[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:Staircase of Hands|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]], the [[Yume Nikki:Spaceship|Spaceship]], and [[Yume Nikki:Mars|Mars]].
*[[Yume Nikki:Witch's Island|Witch's Island]], as she can not sit on the [[Yume Nikki:Traincar|Traincar]] seat to travel there.
*[[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. However, this may be difficult, as the now-hostile Toriningen may be tricky to outrun with the chair's slow speed.
*The [[Yume Nikki:White Desert A|White Desert A]] areas containing [[Yume Nikki:Monoe|Monoe]], the [[Yume Nikki:Eye People|Eye People]], or the [[Yume Nikki:Severed Heads|Severed Heads]], as using the Knife effect is required to get to all of them.
 
Effects can be equipped when sitting on the chair for the first time, a main cause of [[Yume Nikki:Glitches|glitches]]. Equipping an effect while in the chair and 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===
[[File:Looking_Left.png|right]]
The only involuntary effect. Madotsuki has a random chance of waking up with a crick in her neck, constantly looking left. She can still sit down on the floor or the chair, but she is unable to write in her diary or play NASU. Going back to sleep and waking up again should solve the problem. If all 24 effect eggs have been dropped in the Nexus to trigger the game's ending, the neck crick will not occur.
[[File:Look_left_sit.png|right]]
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.
{{clear}}
 
==Trivia==
*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 used different names for the Fat, Flute, Severed Head, and Demon effects as well as the Instructions, respectively dubbing them "Get Fat", "Whistle", "Talking Head", "Devil", and "Game Info". This was changed 12 days after the original release; the update additionally touched up the descriptions for many effects (including those that were not renamed), ranging from minor grammatical fixes to changing the tone of the text.
**Some of these incorrect names still appear in the [[Yume Nikki:FC Worlds|FC World]] menu and when picking up dropped effect eggs in the Nexus. Curiously, the incomplete version of the FC World menu only contains the incorrect names for the Fat effect and the Instructions. Additionally, the FC World menu misspells Midget as "Miget" when all 24 effects have been collected.
*There are some [[Yume Nikki:Unused Content#Unused Effects|unused effects]] that remain in the files of the game, despite never being implemented in any version.
*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 [[Yume Nikki:Number World#Bed Room|Number World Bed Room]], or the second [[Yume Nikki:Neon Tile Path|Neon Tile Path]] area, the player's footsteps can still be heard while moving around.
**This is due to the fact that every map contains two copies of the same tileset: one for the regular footstep sound effect and one for the broom. 0.09 included the full code for switching between the two tilesets in every map. This was simplified in 0.10, but the three aforementioned maps were not updated.
**The maps still contain leftover data for 0.09's method, and attempting to trigger them with cheats instead corrupts the graphics to the tileset indices changing between builds: the second Neon Tile Path area replaces the pyramids with [[Yume Nikki:Henkei Shita|Henkei Shita]] heads from Footprint Path A (with the full tileset changing to that of [[Yume Nikki:Snow World|Snow World]] when sitting down), the Number World Bed Room's tiles are replaced with those of [[Yume Nikki:Forest World|Forest World]] (except when sitting), and the Pink Sea turns completely invisible due to the game attempting to call blank divider tiles, leaving only a black void.
*In 0.10<!--Someone please check other versions-->, the Triangle Kerchief effect's cheek pinch animation always uses the graphic for the invisible state, even if you wake up 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.

Revision as of 20:37, 24 September 2024

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

The main objective in Yume Nikki is to collect the 24 effects found throughout the dream world. Some effects grant unique abilities that can be used to access certain events or locations; the rest are mostly cosmetic.

Effects are found by interacting with objects or certain characters. All effect-givers are unique, each appearing only once in the dream world. They can be collected in 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 early, as a couple other effects require passing through dark areas.

Effects can be dropped in the Nexus by pressing 5. They appear as eggs and are removed from the menu. Once all 24 effects are dropped, the player can access the ending.

The names used for effects come from the Uboachan fan translation, due to its historic use by most (English-speaking) players. The original Japanese and/or official translation names are stated below each header.

Grow ears and a tail / Sprout cat-ears and a tail.

Appearance: Madotsuki grows cat ears and a tail.

Passive Effect: None.

Action: (1) Madotsuki faces downwards and meows like a cat, with large red eyes. She paws the air with her right hand and holds a koban coin in her left, resembling a Maneki-neko.

Location: Shield-Folk World - Interact with Nekoin.

Practical Uses:

  • Attract NPCs - Can be used to move NPCs that block your way or find NPCs hidden in the area.
  • Provoking a reaction from certain NPCs and the environment.
  • Summons UFOs at the top of Mars.

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 counted as a collectible effect and are not required to finish the game.

Instructions

Tutorial（ゲームのせつめい）

See the instructions again / Review the game's tutorial.

The instructions appear as a menu item like the 24 effects. Using it displays a basic tutorial on how to play the game. Madotsuki starts with this effect and can use it in any area, including the real world.

Chair

Madotsuki chair faceset.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, a main cause of glitches. Equipping an effect while in the chair and 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

The only involuntary effect. Madotsuki has a random chance of waking up with a crick in her neck, constantly looking left. She can still sit down on the floor or the chair, but she is unable to write in her diary or play NASU. Going back to sleep and waking up again should solve the problem. If all 24 effect eggs have been dropped in the Nexus to trigger the game's ending, the neck crick will not occur.

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.

Trivia

  • 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 used different names for the Fat, Flute, Severed Head, and Demon effects as well as the Instructions, respectively dubbing them "Get Fat", "Whistle", "Talking Head", "Devil", and "Game Info". This was changed 12 days after the original release; the update additionally touched up the descriptions for many effects (including those that were not renamed), ranging from minor grammatical fixes to changing the tone of the text.
    • Some of these incorrect names still appear in the FC World menu and when picking up dropped effect eggs in the Nexus. Curiously, the incomplete version of the FC World menu only contains the incorrect names for the Fat effect and the Instructions. Additionally, the FC World menu misspells Midget as "Miget" when all 24 effects have been collected.
  • There are some unused effects that remain in the files of the game, despite never being implemented in any version.
  • 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.
    • This is due to the fact that every map contains two copies of the same tileset: one for the regular footstep sound effect and one for the broom. 0.09 included the full code for switching between the two tilesets in every map. This was simplified in 0.10, but the three aforementioned maps were not updated.
    • The maps still contain leftover data for 0.09's method, and attempting to trigger them with cheats instead corrupts the graphics to the tileset indices changing between builds: the second Neon Tile Path area replaces the pyramids with Henkei Shita heads from Footprint Path A (with the full tileset changing to that of Snow World when sitting down), the Number World Bed Room's tiles are replaced with those of Forest World (except when sitting), and the Pink Sea turns completely invisible due to the game attempting to call blank divider tiles, leaving only a black void.
  • In 0.10, the Triangle Kerchief effect's cheek pinch animation always uses the graphic for the invisible state, even if you wake up 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.
