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 [[The Ending|ending]] by leaving them all in the [[The Nexus|Nexus]] and waking up.
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.


The effects are scattered throughout the [[List of Locations|dream world]], and some are more easy to find than others. Some are found by touching particular objects whereas others are received from interacting with [[List_of_Characters#Effect_NPCs|certain characters]].
Effects are found by interacting with objects or [[Yume Nikki:List of Characters#Effect NPCs|certain characters]]. All effect-givers are unique from the other characters in the game. 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.


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 require traversing dark areas.
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]].


Descriptions and names on this article are given in the order of fan translation first, official translation second, and original Japanese third.
The name of each effect may be [[Yume Nikki:Translation Differences|different between translations]]. The names used by the ''Uboachan'' fan translation are preferred due to its historic use by most (English-speaking) players. The names of the English Steam translation and mobile release translation are stated below each header, as well as the original Japanese. The effect descriptions are written with Uboachan first, Steam second, and mobile last (only if it differs from Steam).


'''''Note:''' On this wiki, the fan translation names are used on pages due to being the most recognizable by the majority of the fandom.''

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

===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. Due to this, the main area of [[Yume Nikki:White Desert B|White Desert B]] is also inaccessible.
*[[Yume Nikki:Sky Garden|Sky Garden]], as she can not go up the Stairway to the Sky. This also makes [[Yume Nikki:Ghost World|Ghost World]] inaccessible.
*[[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 while at the desk, 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 1 in 64 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.


This is the only effect that can be used in the real world and cannot be dropped as an egg in the Nexus.
=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==
[[File:Chair.png|right]]
The chair in [[Madotsuki's Room|Madotsuki's dream room]] can be ridden when Madotsuki sits on it then pulls the chair away. 
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 to 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:
*The Famicom worlds, as there is no sprite for the chair in Famicom form.
*The [[Sky Garden]], as she can not go up The Stairway to the Sky.
*[[The Staircase of Hands]], as she can not sleep in any of the dream world's beds. Thus, she is also unable to reach [[The Spaceship]] and therefore [[Mars]].
*[[Witch's Island]], as she can not sit on the [[Traincar]] seat to travel there.
*The [[Number World]] stairway and the [[White Desert]] areas containing [[Monoe]], the [[Eye People]], or the [[Severed Heads]], as the Knife effect is required to get to all of them.
**[[Mini Hell]] would also require the Knife effect, as it requires stabbing the Number World Toriningen with the Knife effect, though the area can still be entered with the Chair if the Toriningen is stabbed prior to using the Chair.
==Crick in the Neck==
[[File:Looking_Left.png|right]]
[[File:Look_left_sit.png|right]]
[[File:Look_left_sit.png|right]]
The only involuntary effect, 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.
Madotsuki will not dream that she has a crick in her neck, and yet there is a matching FC World sprite.
=Effect Glitches=
==Speed Glitch==
A useful glitch that quadruples Madotsuki's walking speed. Although Madotsuki will appear as her normal sprite (except in the FC Worlds), the glitch will be active. The bicycle is the most commonly used effect for this, as it allows for quadruple speed. The Speed Glitch is an oversight caused by allowing the player to use the menu in the chair.
'''Instructions'''
#Sit in the chair in Madotsuki's dream room
#Open the menu with ''X''
#Equip the Bicycle
#Press ''down'', then ''Z'' to exit the chair.
The glitch will now be active. The effect will disappear if you equip any effects. Madotsuki will sit if ''1'' is pressed, but the other action will happen as well (e.g. with the bike, the bell noise will play).
This glitch can also be used to "store" effect actions. For example, if the above instructions are followed but the Bicycle effect is substituted for the Midget effect, Madotsuki will be able to walk through small spaces as if she had the Midget effect equipped, despite using her normal sprite. It should also be noted that using any other effect other than the Bicycle still increases Madotsuki's walking speed, though not as much as when the Bicycle is used.
===Hyperspeed Glitch===
[[Image:Ynhyper.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Instructions]]
A related glitch that is slightly more complicated, but allows the effect to stack allowing for movement eight times faster than the walking speed, which is equal to that of [[Candle World]]'s [[Toriningen]]. There are two ways of acquiring this glitch.
'''Instructions'''
First Way:
#Sit in the chair in Madotsuki's dream room
#Open the menu with ''X''
#Equip the Bicycle
#Press ''Z'' to ride the chair
#Ride the chair into the Nexus
#Press ''5'' to drop the Bicycle effect, then pick it back up
#Open the menu (you should hear the 'unable' sound effect), and equip the Bicycle
#Return to the bedroom. There will be no chair at the desk.
#Go to the desk and sit down on the invisible chair, then press ''down'' and ''Z'' to get up.
Second Way:
#Sit in the chair in Madotsuki's dream room
#Open the menu with ''X''
#Equip the Yuki Onna effect
#Equip the Hat & Scarf effect
#Press ''Z'' to ride the chair
#Press 1 to turn into a snowman, then press 1 again
#Open the menu (You should hear the 'unable' sound effect), and equip the bicycle
#Go to the desk and sit down on the invisible chair, then press ''down'' and ''Z'' to get up.
Note: The second glitch will speed up any equipped effect by simply replacing the bicycle with your desired effect.
==Noclip Glitch==
Disables most collision, allowing Madotsuki to walk through objects and walls.
*Note This will also work with the Umbrella effect
'''Instructions'''
#Sit in the chair in Madotsuki's dream room
#Equip the knife effect
#Press ''down'', then ''Z'' to get off the chair
#<u>Quickly</u> (while Madotsuki is moving) press ''1'' to switch hands with the knife
This will allow Madotsuki to walk through anything with any effect equipped, though some loading zones don't trigger, limiting the amount of areas that can be explored. Hell is useful for getting to locations with this glitch, as it provides alternative methods of getting to areas through the use of [[Toriningen]] and [[Nenrikido]] that substitute normal loading zones (even the single Henkei Shita located there is the only way to get to [[The Footprint Path|Footprint Path A]]). Toriningen in other locations such as Guillotine World and The Checkered Tile Path also help for accessing other areas.
It should also be noted that getting into any of the [[Beds]] in the dream world, even if they send you to The Staircase of Hands, deactivates the glitch, returning Madotsuki to normal. Thus, the glitch can not be utilized in Underground World, [[The Spaceship]], or [[Mars]].
==Broken Instructions==
A somewhat convoluted glitch that allows you to be able to move, and enter a new area while the instructions are open which leads to a variety of glitches.
'''Instructions'''
# Equip the frog effect in the chair.
# Go to the area you want to do this. It has to be somewhere where you can just walk into a different area.
# Press 1 and you should see Madotsuki sit down, then jump back up.
# Equip the cat effect. (Can also be done with an egg drop in the Nexus)
# Wait for a little while and the game will force you to sit down.
# Press the X key once (only once) a few seconds after being forced to sit down.
# Press 1 and the menu should open after the animation for the cat effect is finished.
# Open the instructions (don't close them).
# Wait a few more seconds and then press 1.
# You should hear the same sound as when you use the cat effect, and be able to move freely.
# Walk into the walk in area mentioned before.
# Press the Z normally to reopen the instructions, however pressing Z while equipping effects will not reopen it.
=== Sub Glitches ===
'''Invisible Madotsuki''': This glitch is a side effect of broken instructions, and requires no extra setup beyond what's listed above.
'''BGM storage:''' Another side effect of broken instructions. The way this one works is that when you open the instructions the music stops, but it starts again after you close it. If you close the instructions in a different area it will take the music from wherever you opened the instructions and play that. This is because the game still has it stored.
'''Glitched movement: '''Glitched movement is a glitch that occurs when you close the instructions while sitting down. Your movement will be cycling between 4 of the sitting animation sprites. Left is the first sprite and then it continues in order clockwise.
There is also a newer type of glitched movement. Do the process for the broken instructions, but not the whole thing. Then, close the menu, open it and press 1. It will do nothing. Then, while you still have the Cat effect equipped, go in Snow World and you will be in the sleeping animation sprite. You are able to move freely while you are sleeping.
[[File:Glitched Movement|thumb|202x202px]]
'''Broken save:''' This is a glitch that makes a save file unplayable. To do this glitch do broken instructions and wake up with the instructions. Press 1 so you are sitting, then press Z to reopen the instructions. This will give you glitched movement. '''If you save with glitched movement your save will be unplayable.'''
'''Broken witch event: '''If you do broken instructions and close the instructions in the witch event the game will put you in the center of the witch event where you can work around. This works because the game stores Madotsuki when you open the instructions, so if you close the instructions in the witch event the game will think it needs to put you back into the game in the same way you were when you opened the instructions. This causes there to be two Madotsukis you control at the same time. As well as enables menu use.

'''Speculation:''' It's possible this was intended to be the appearance Madotsuki takes on in the [[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) [[monochrome]].
These sprites are used for [[Madotsuki's Ghost]] in [[Mini Hell]], however.
==Will o' the Wisp==

[[File:Yn004-WillOTheWisp.png|160px|right]]
'''Appearance:''' Madotsuki transforms into a flame-like spirit wearing the Triangle Kerchief.
'''Speculation:''' A possible alternate form considered for the 'ghost form' of the Triangle Kerchief, as spirits are commonly depicted as blue wisps in Japanese folklore (they're known as "Hitodama" [人魂, ひとだま]).


Note that the sprites below the mugshot have (to date) only been found in version ''0.04'', but are still unused in that version. It appears that it would have been able to change colors.
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.

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 from the other characters in the game. 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 name of each effect may be different between translations. The names used by the Uboachan fan translation are preferred due to its historic use by most (English-speaking) players. The names of the English Steam translation and mobile release translation are stated below each header, as well as the original Japanese. The effect descriptions are written with Uboachan first, Steam second, and mobile last (only if it differs from Steam).

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.

These are actions that work like effects, but are not counted as a collectible effect and are not required to finish the game.

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

Instructions.gif Instructions2.gif

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 while at the desk, 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 1 in 64 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.

Look left sit.png

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.
  • There are some unused effects that remain in the files of the game, despite never being implemented in any version.
  • The Midget effect has an unused graphic for eight midgets. This graphic also has an FC World counterpart.
  • All the effect names in Japanese are written in kana, even if the words are usually or only written in kanji. Such effects are written in kanji within the game's database.
  • 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.
  • 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.
