    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:Official 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, 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 ==
    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]].


    === Frog ===
    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.
    Madotsuki's head becomes that of a frog. Using this effect makes Madotsuki move faster in water. Pressing '1' makes her hop once.


    === Umbrella ===
    ==Effects==
    Getting out the umbrella causes it to rain. Even upon putting the umbrella away, it will continue to rain. Pressing '1' twirls the umbrella. Rain is good for putting out large fires.
    ===Frog<span id="Frog (かえる）"></span>===
    '''（かえる）'''
    [[File:Frog.png|right]]
    [[File:Frog_Egg.png|right]]
    ''Become a frog / Transform into a frog.''


    === Hat and Scarf ===
    '''Appearance:''' Madotsuki transforms into a humanoid frog, walking with a hunched-over back.
    The hat and scarf is exactly as it sounds. However, pressing '1' while it is snowing turns Madotsuki into a snowman and back.


    === Yuki-onna ===
    '''Passive Effect:''' Madotsuki walks at normal speed through water.
    Equipping this effect causes it to immediately snow. The snow will not go away unless this effect is deliberately removed.


    === Knife ===
    '''Action:''' (1) Madotsuki hops in place like a frog.
    Madotsuki holds a kitchen knife in her hand. Using this effect results in her stabbing whatever is in front of her. Pressing '1' makes her change the hand she is holding the knife with.


    === Medamaude ===
    '''Location:''' Either [[Yume Nikki:Forest World|Forest World]] or [[Yume Nikki:Dense Woods B#Frog Path|Dense Woods B (Frog Path)]] - Interact with the [[Yume Nikki:Frog|Frog]].
    After transforming into this odd creature, pressing '1' allows instant return to the door room.


    === Fat ===
    '''Practical Uses:''' Walking through the [[Yume Nikki:Pink Sea|Pink Sea]] and [[Yume Nikki:Poniko's House#Uboa's Trap|Uboa's Trap]] is much faster, although the Bicycle does the same thing.
    Doubling in size grants Madotsuki the ability to jiggle her fat around by pressing '1'.


    === Midget ===
    ===Umbrella<span id="Umbrella （かさ）"></span>===
    This makes Madotsuki much smaller. This conveniently allows her to enter the hole on Mars. Pressing '1' adds a midget clone to the party and '3' will cause one to spontaneously explode.
    '''（かさ）'''
    [[File:Umbrella.png|right]]
    [[File:Umbrella_Egg.png|right]]
    ''Open an umbrella / Use an umbrella.''


    === Flute ===
    '''Appearance:''' Madotsuki holds a red umbrella.
    Madotsuki holds a flute to her lips. Pressing '1' makes her play a short tune with a random pitch. Doing this rapidly, in quick succession, makes a rather melodious song. It is found in the [[Mall|mall]].


    === Neon ===
    '''Passive Effect:''' It rains, which continues until Madotsuki unequips the umbrella into her normal form. The rain also enables the Demon effect to produce a clap of thunder and lightning.
    Becoming a sentient neon light certainly has its advantages. '1' will make the screen change colors. The color change fades once neon is unequipped.


    === Nopperabou ===
    '''Action:''' (1) Madotsuki spins the umbrella.
    Madotsuki loses her facial features with this effect. Furthermore, pressing '1' causes her head to temporarily remove itself from her shoulders and rotate 360 degrees.


    === Severed Head ===
    '''Location:''' [[Yume Nikki:Puddle World|Puddle World]] - Pick it up off the ground.
    Madotsuki loses her body. She can still crawl around with just her head, but this reduces her speed to almost nothing. It is the slowest effect in the game.


    === Towel ===
    '''Practical Uses:''' Can be used to douse the fire in the [[Yume Nikki:Underground World|Blazing Corridor of Underground World]], although the Yuki-onna effect does the same thing. Can be used to stop the rain in the [[Yume Nikki:Dense Woods A|Dense Woods A]] if the effect is equipped and then unequipped.
    After donning this fashionable item, pressing '1' causes a sneeze.
    [[File:YN Umbrella Usage.png|thumb|center|250px|Madotsuki extinguishing the Blazing Corridor's flames with the Umbrella effect.]]


    === Cat ===
    ===Hat and Scarf<span id="Hat & Scarf"></span><span id="Hat and Scarf / Hat & Scarf（ぼうしとマフラー）"></span>===
    Half human and half cat, Madotsuki becomes quite charming to the denizens of her mind. Pressing '1' causes her to meow and everyone in the area to approach her slightly.
    '''Hat & Scarf（ぼうしとマフラー）'''
    [[File:Hat_and_Scarf.png|right]]
    [[File:Hat_and_Scarf_Egg.png|right]]
    [[File:Hat_and_Scarf_2.png|right]]
    ''Wear a hat and scarf / Don a hat & scarf. ''


    === Lamp ===
    '''Appearance:''' Madotsuki wears a hat and scarf.
    Madotsuki's head is replaced by a lamp; '1' will toggle its state. Sight becomes much easier with a light. In fact, certain things--strange patterns on the ground in dark areas, for example--can not be seen without one.


    === Bicycle ===
    '''Passive Effect:''' In the snowman form, Madotsuki cannot pinch herself awake due to her lack of arms, and she walks twice as slow.
    Madotsuki rides a bicycle. It dramatically increases speed. Madotsuki cannot get into beds when this effect is on. Pressing '1' makes the bicycle's bell ring.


    === Long Hair ===
    '''Action:''' (1) When snowing, Madotsuki transforms into a snowman.
    This effect apparently serves only the purposes of vanity.


    === Poop Hair ===
    '''Location:''' [[Yume Nikki:Block World|Block World]] - Pick it up off the ground.
    Poop hair, while a questionable hairstyle, can be quite useful. Pressing '1' creates a fly (maximum of eight) to hover in place. They can be used as markers, probably to prevent getting lost. The flies are persistent through effect changes.


    === Blonde Hair ===
    '''Practical Uses:''' Interacting with [[Yume Nikki:Mafurako|Mafurako]] in Block World as a snowman will always teleport you back by her side when returning from an upper area. In the Blazing Corridor, standing next to the fire as a snowman will cause Madotsuki to [[Yume Nikki:Events#Melting Madotsuki|slowly melt and become immobile]].<br clear=all>
    Like long hair, this apparently is only a new hairstyle.


    === Triangle Kerchief ===
    ===Yuki-onna<span id="Snow Woman"></span><span id="Yuki-onna / Snow Woman （ゆきおんな）"></span>===
    This effect, styled as a tiara, grants Madotsuki the ability to become ethereal after pressing '1'. In this form the Toriningen are unable to transport her to a dead-end area without her consent.
    '''Snow Woman（ゆきおんな）'''
    [[File:Yuki-onna.png|right]]
    [[File:Yuki-onna_Egg.png|right]]
    ''Become the snow woman / Morph into a Snow Woman.''


    === Witch ===
    '''Appearance:''' Madotsuki transforms into a [[wikipedia:Yuki-onna|Yuki-onna]].
    Madotsuki dresses up like a witch. Can be used in the [[Mall|department store]] to start a flying minigame.


    === Demon ===
    '''Passive Effect:''' It snows, which continues until Madotsuki unequips the Yuki-onna effect into her normal form. This enables you to use the Hat and Scarf effect's transformation in any area.
    Madotsuki becomes a horned monster using this effect. While it is raining, pressing '1' causes a lightning strike.


    === Buyo Buyo ===
    '''Action:''' None.
    This effect causes Madotsuki to become seemingly gelatinous. It is apparent while walking and especially after pressing '1' which causes her to jiggle around.


    === Stoplight ===
    '''Location:''' [[Yume Nikki:Snow World|Snow World]] - Interact with the [[Yume Nikki:Yuki-onna|Yuki-onna]].
    After becoming a stoplight, pressing '1' toggles between red and green states. While red, dream inhabitants obey and become still. [[Monoko|Monoko]] reacts further, however. After stopping, Monoko transforms into the 5-armed girl.


    === Instructions ===
    '''Practical Uses:''' Can be used to douse the fire in the Blazing Corridor, although the Umbrella does the same thing. Can be used to stop the snow in Snow World if the effect is equipped and then unequipped.
    The only effect you start with. They briefly explain how to play the game.


    ===Knife<span id="Knife / Kitchen Knife（ほうちょう）"></span>===
    '''Kitchen Knife（ほうちょう）'''
    [[File:Knife.png|right]]
    [[File:Knife_Egg.png|right]]
    ''Wield a kitchen knife / Equip a kitchen knife.''


    == Pseudo-effects ==
    '''Appearance:''' Madotsuki holds a knife.


    === Chair ===
    '''Passive Effect:''' Mobile NPCs will run away from her. Most characters that can't move will animate faster, as if in panic.
    By sitting at Madotsuki's desk in the dreamworld and pressing 'Z', Madotsuki can pull the chair away and start to hop around on it. This is very slow and grants no extra abilities, although it does change her appearance.
    [[File:YN Stabbing Room.png|thumb|right|250px|The Stabbing Room, which is easily traversed with the Knife effect.]]
    === Speed Glitch ===
    '''Action:'''
    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.
    *(1) Madotsuki switches the knife between her hands.
    The Speed Glitch is an oversight caused by allowing the player to use the menu in the chair.
    *(Z) Madotsuki stabs with the knife, killing or wounding characters. Some characters and objects react strangely or cause something to occur after being stabbed, including:
    **[[Yume Nikki:Toriningen|Toriningen]] - Will turn into their 'lunatic' form if they weren't already, and will begin chasing Madotsuki.
    **[[Yume Nikki:Mars-san|Mars-san]] - Its eye changes color and a small wound appears on its foot.
    **[[Yume Nikki:Onsen-san|Onsen-san]] - It completely changes color and stops drinking its water.
    **[[Yume Nikki:Pain Blob|Pain Blob]] - Shows its face.
    **Arms and Legs in the [[Yume Nikki:White Desert A#White Desert Path|White Desert Path]] - They twitch.
    **[[Yume Nikki:White Desert A#Eye Box|Eye Box]] - Has a 1 in 30 chance of taking you to the [[Yume Nikki:Eye People|Eye People]] section of the White Desert. The same condition and chance applies to going back to White Desert A.
    **[[Yume Nikki:Dave Spector|Dave Spector]] - Stabbing the southwest one grants access to other White Desert areas in the tunnel it wanders by.
    **[[Yume Nikki:Henkei Shita|Henkei Shita]] - The one in [[Yume Nikki:Hell|Hell]] has a 1 in 256 chance of transporting you to the [[Yume Nikki:Footprint Path#Footprint Path A|Footprint Path A]].
    **Extinguishes candles in Candle World.
    **Makes the eyeballs change color in [[Yume Nikki:Eyeball World|Eyeball World]].

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

    ===Instructions<span id="Instructions / Tutorial （ゲームのせつめい）"></span>===
    '''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.

    [[File:Instructions.gif]]
    [[File:Instructions2.gif]]
    </center>
     
    ===Chair===
    [[File:Chair.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 [[Yume Nikki:Beds|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.
    *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 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.
     
    ===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.
    [[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.
    <br clear=all>
     
    ==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.

    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.

    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 also enables the Demon effect to produce a clap of thunder and lightning.

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.

    Action: (1) When it's raining, a clap of thunder and lightning can be produced.

    Location: FC Basement - Interact with the FC Demon.

    Practical Uses: Can be used to summon the FC Demon in the Pyramids area of 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.

    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

    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

    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.

    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.
