The Legend of the Mystical Ninja/Items

There are many items that can assist our heroes in making their journey a lot easier. Some can be easily found and others must be worked for by collecting money.

Headwear
Headwear will allow you to take some free hits by falling objects and falling attacks. The stronger the material, the more free hits you can take!

Armor
Armor works the same way as the hats, except instead of protecting you from falling objects, this allows you to take free hits from just about everything else. While the armor and helmets make you take no damage on contact, you still flinch from these attacks, so be careful.

Food
It's very important to eat on your long adventure. When times get tough and you lose all your health, you can chow on some snacks to heal you up. Each food heals a different amount, but they are vital for success, especially if your new to the game. (Note: Onigiri is in the Japanese version only. When the game was localized for the U.S, they changed the Riceballs to Pizza to make it more "western-ized". Just to clear up any confusion that may be had).

Bombs
Bombs are weapons that your character can throw to attack enemies. Bombs hit multiple times and do up to three bars of health to bosses and instantly kill most enemies.

Quest Items
These items are required to beat certain levels and are really expensive. You may need to farm for these items. Visit their respective chapters to learn more about them.

Scrolls
Scrolls can either be very important and helpful or completely useless to you. Scrolls are found in pots, mazes and when killing enemies. Scrolls are used to gain power levels. Every ten scrolls gains you one power level. Power levels are used to activate the Jutsu Moves. Each time you use a Jutsu move, you use up one power level. Since Jutsu moves are very expensive and only last for that zone, you can avoid the scrolls and Jutsu moves entirely, but beginners are recommended to use the Jutsu moves, since they can be very helpful. (Note: The three and five count scrolls are unused in the game, as they were meant to be purchased in shops, but the game's manual still mentions them. They are included here for curiousity).
