There are 24 proper effects in Yume Nikki (not including the Instructions). Each effect changes Madotsuki's appearance and some provide special abilities.
Gathering all 24 effects is considered to be the primary objective of the game, and only when all effects have been gathered can the player see the game's ending by leaving them all in the Nexus and waking up.
The effects are scattered throughout the dream world, and some are easier to find than others. Some are found by touching particular objects whereas others are received from interacting with certain characters.
While most of the effects are purely cosmetic, there are a few events and locations that are unreachable without them. They can be collected in almost any order, except for the Poop Hair effect, which requires either the Yuki-onna or Umbrella effect first. It is also recommended to get the Lamp effect before attempting to get the Knife or Witch effect, which both require traversing dark areas before getting them.
Descriptions and names in this article are given in the order of fan translation first, official translation second, and original Japanese third.
Effects
Frog (かえる)
Become a frog / Transform into a frog.
Appearance: Madotsuki transforms into a humanoid frog, walking with a hunched-over back.
Passive Effect: Madotsuki walks at normal speed through water.
Action: (1) Madotsuki hops in place like a frog.
Location: Either Forest World or Dense Woods B (Frog Path) - Interact with the Frog.
Practical Uses: Walking through the Pink Sea and Uboa's Trap is much faster, although the Bicycle does the same thing.
Umbrella (かさ)
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.
Action: (1) Madotsuki spins the umbrella.
Location: Puddle World - Pick it up off the ground.
Practical Uses: Can be used to douse the fire in the Blazing Corridor, although the Yuki-onna effect does the same thing. Can be used to stop the rain in the Dense Woods A if the effect is equipped and then unequipped.
Hat and Scarf / Hat & Scarf(ぼうしとマフラー)
Wear a hat and scarf / Don a hat & scarf.
Appearance: Madotsuki wears a hat and scarf.
Passive Effect: In the snowman form, Madotsuki cannot pinch herself awake due to her lack of arms, and she walks twice as slowly.
Action: (1) When snowing, Madotsuki transforms into a snowman.
Location: Block World - Pick it up off the ground.
Practical Uses: As a snowman, interacting with Mafurako will always teleport you back by her side on the return trip, meaning you don't have to search for her to teleport again. In the Blazing Corridor, standing next to the fire will cause Madotsuki to slowly melt and become immobile.
Yuki-onna / Snow Woman (ゆきおんな)
Become the snow woman / Morph into a Snow Woman.
Appearance: Madotsuki transforms into a Yuki-onna.

Action: None.
Location: Snow World - Interact with the Yuki-onna.

- Drawing NPCs toward you - Can be used to move NPCs that block your way or to 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 Gyuanin, 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.

Passive Effect: None.

- Mafurako: Becomes fully visible.

Instructions / Tutorial (ゲームのせつめい)
See the instructions again / Review the game's tutorial.
Appearance: None
Passive Effect: None
Action: (Equip) A basic tutorial on how to play the game
Location: Madotsuki starts with this effect
Practical Uses: Learning how the game works
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
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, 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 Underground World, The Spaceship, and Mars.
- Witch's Island, as she can not sit on the Traincar seat to travel there.
- The Number World stairway, as she can not go up the stairs there. The path can still be entered by using the Knife effect on the Zippertile prior to getting to it with the chair.
- The White Desert areas containing Monoe, the Eye People, or the Severed Heads, as the Knife effect is required to be used 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
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 that is unused.
Unused effects
These are effects that exist in the sprite sheets and have limited handling in the game's coding, but are not accessible in the game. These may be added in a future version of Yume Nikki.
Blindfold
Appearance: Madotsuki wears a black blindfold.
Speculation: A type of effect that affects what Madotsuki can (or can't) see.
Grayscale
Appearance: Madotsuki appears in monochrome.
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).
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.
Some of these sprites are used for Madotsuki's Ghost in Mini Hell, however.
Will o' the Wisp
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 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.
Trivia
- When the Steam release of Yume Nikki first came out, the translation mislabeled many effects with different names, such as the Fat effect being called "Get Fat", the Flute being named "Whistle", the Severed Head being called "Talking Head", the Demon effect being called the "Devil" effect, and the Instructions being called "Game Info". This was fixed 12 days after the original release. The mobile version of the game also features some different names, such as the Midget being named "Dwarf", the Medamaude being called the "Evil Hand", the Nopperabou being called "Faceless", and the Severed Head being called the "Chopped Head".
- Effects are a common cause of glitches. View the Glitches page for more information.
