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.
[[File:YN Effect Eggs.png|thumb|250px|Effect eggs in the [[Yume Nikki:Nexus|Nexus]].]]
[[File:Kimg011.jpg|thumb|240px|The effects as they appear in the [[Yume Nikki:Yume Nikki (manga)|manga]].]]


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.


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.


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]].


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).

===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 {{control|interact}} while facing the desk will let Madotsuki scoot the chair around her bedroom. She can ride the chair slowly through the dream world, 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 warp her, 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 first room can still be entered by using the Knife effect on the [[Yume Nikki:Zippertile|Zippertile]] prior to riding the chair.
*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.


[[Yume Nikki:Mini Hell|Mini Hell]] can still be entered with the chair despite requiring the Knife effect if the Toriningen is stabbed prior to riding the chair. However, this may be difficult, as the now-hostile Toriningen is tricky to avoid with the chair's slow speed.


Effects can be equipped when sitting on the chair while at the desk, which is a major 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. Most of the aforementioned areas remain inaccessible as Madotsuki is technically still in the chair, with the only exception of Docks A, which can be entered from the Sewers if the Midget effect is equipped while in the chair.


=== Stoplight ===
===Crick in the Neck===
'''Optional Effect:''' Madotsuki's light changes from red to green or green to red when "1" is pressed. Other characters are stopped by this effect when her red light is on.
[[File:Looking_Left.png|right]]
[[File:Look_left_sit.png|right]]


'''Involuntary Effect''': Madotsuki turns into a stoplight.
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 removes the effect. If all 24 effect eggs have been dropped in the Nexus to trigger the game's ending, the neck crick will not occur.


'''Where Found: '''Forest
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.


'''Other Uses:''' Monoko when stopped changes appearance and a full-screen event can be seen by interacting with her.'''   [[The Nexus]]'''
==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.
**Before version 0.09, both the Frog and Severed Head effects were still only obtainable in one location, as the Frog in Dense Woods B did not give the Frog effect until version 0.10, and the bigger Guillotine World variant was not added until 0.09.
*If there are effect eggs in the Nexus and the player uses the Medamaude effect outside of the Nexus to return to it, the effect eggs will wiggle upon entry, using the same animation they use when Madotsuki dispenses them. The only two eggs that do not do this are the Neon and Lamp effect eggs, whose idle and wiggle animations are separate in their respective CharSets due to being continuously animated.
*The Triangle Kerchief effect's cheek pinch animation always uses the graphic for the invisible state, even when waking up while visible.
*The animation for waking up while invisible using the Triangle Kerchief lacks the partial transparency that the effect's invisible state typically has.
*All the effect names in Japanese are written in [[wikipedia:Kana|kana]], even if the words are usually or only written in [[wikipedia:Kanji|kanji]]. Such effects are written in kanji within the game's internal database.
*The English Steam release erroneously uses [[Yume Nikki:Translation Differences#History|older translations]] in the FC World menu and when picking up effect eggs. This includes the misspelling of "Midget" as "Miget" in the completed FC menu.
*Throughout the game's versions, several effects had their locations moved:
**Before 0.07, the Severed Head effect was obtained in Block World, as the Guillotine was located there. In 0.07, the Guillotine was moved to Guillotine World.
**Before 0.08, the Buyo Buyo effect was found inside a shack in the [[Yume Nikki:Barracks Settlement|Barracks Settlement]]. In 0.08, Buyo Buyo was moved to FC World B, with the original Buyo Buyo NPC now being killed by the Seahorse.
**Before 0.09, the Triangle Kerchief effect was obtained in Dark World, as Fleebie was located there. In 0.09, Fleebie was moved to Ghost World.
**Before 0.10, the Fat effect was obtained by interacting with a funhouse mirror located in [[Yume Nikki:Hell|Hell]]. In version 0.10, the mirror was removed and the Fat effect was moved to the Docks B, obtainable from Strober.
**Before 0.10, the Poop Hair effect was located in Mural World alongside the other hair effects. In 0.10, the Mouth Monster granting the Poop Hair effect was moved to Underground World.
**Additionally, the Nopperabou, Towel, and Lamp effects had their positions changed, although their respective effect NPCs stayed within the same worlds they were originally located in.
*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 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.
*There are some unused graphics found in the files of the game that may have been [[Yume Nikki:Unused Content#Unused Effects|unused effects]].
*The Midget effect has an unused graphic for eight small Madotsukis. This graphic also has an FC World counterpart.

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).

Open an umbrella / Use an umbrella.

Appearance: Madotsuki holds a red umbrella.

Passive Effect: It rains, which continues until Madotsuki unequips the umbrella into her normal form. The rain makes the screen slightly darker.

Action: (1) Madotsuki transforms into an invisible ghost and becomes translucent.

Location: Ghost World - Catch and interact with Fleebie.

Practical Uses: When in ghost form, lunatic Toriningen are unable to track Madotsuki, and will be pacing around and looking around for her. They will trap her if she interacts with them intentionally.

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.

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 interact while facing the desk will let Madotsuki scoot the chair around her bedroom. She can ride the chair slowly through the dream world, but will not be able to get off it until she returns it to her desk. Some areas are also inaccessible with the chair:

Mini Hell can still be entered with the chair despite requiring the Knife effect if the Toriningen is stabbed prior to riding the chair. However, this may be difficult, as the now-hostile Toriningen is tricky to avoid with the chair's slow speed.

Effects can be equipped when sitting on the chair while at the desk, which is a major 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. Most of the aforementioned areas remain inaccessible as Madotsuki is technically still in the chair, with the only 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. 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 removes the effect. 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.
    • Before version 0.09, both the Frog and Severed Head effects were still only obtainable in one location, as the Frog in Dense Woods B did not give the Frog effect until version 0.10, and the bigger Guillotine World variant was not added until 0.09.
  • If there are effect eggs in the Nexus and the player uses the Medamaude effect outside of the Nexus to return to it, the effect eggs will wiggle upon entry, using the same animation they use when Madotsuki dispenses them. The only two eggs that do not do this are the Neon and Lamp effect eggs, whose idle and wiggle animations are separate in their respective CharSets due to being continuously animated.
  • The Triangle Kerchief effect's cheek pinch animation always uses the graphic for the invisible state, even when waking up while visible.
  • The animation for waking up while invisible using the Triangle Kerchief lacks the partial transparency that the effect's invisible state typically has.
  • 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 internal database.
  • The English Steam release erroneously uses older translations in the FC World menu and when picking up effect eggs. This includes the misspelling of "Midget" as "Miget" in the completed FC menu.
  • Throughout the game's versions, several effects had their locations moved:
    • Before 0.07, the Severed Head effect was obtained in Block World, as the Guillotine was located there. In 0.07, the Guillotine was moved to Guillotine World.
    • Before 0.08, the Buyo Buyo effect was found inside a shack in the Barracks Settlement. In 0.08, Buyo Buyo was moved to FC World B, with the original Buyo Buyo NPC now being killed by the Seahorse.
    • Before 0.09, the Triangle Kerchief effect was obtained in Dark World, as Fleebie was located there. In 0.09, Fleebie was moved to Ghost World.
    • Before 0.10, the Fat effect was obtained by interacting with a funhouse mirror located in Hell. In version 0.10, the mirror was removed and the Fat effect was moved to the Docks B, obtainable from Strober.
    • Before 0.10, the Poop Hair effect was located in Mural World alongside the other hair effects. In 0.10, the Mouth Monster granting the Poop Hair effect was moved to Underground World.
    • Additionally, the Nopperabou, Towel, and Lamp effects had their positions changed, although their respective effect NPCs stayed within the same worlds they were originally located in.
  • 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 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.
  • There are some unused graphics found in the files of the game that may have been unused effects.
  • The Midget effect has an unused graphic for eight small Madotsukis. This graphic also has an FC World counterpart.
