Armor cuts down on the amount of damage you take when you get hurt.  The stronger the armor, the less damage you receive.  You begin the game with no armor at all.  You don't need to purchase every armor available, but in a game where health is very precious, it's worth it to have some form of protection on you.  Note that the Knight Armor is more expensive than the Heavy Armor, but the Heavy Armor is stronger. However, the extra defense and cheapness of the Heavy Armor comes at a price of reduced agility. Aim to have the Armor of Legend by the end of the game.

* The recommended approach to purchase armors in the Arcade version even with moderate coin waggle success rate - buy the Knight Armor in round 3. If you have 640G by the time you get part B of round 6, buy the Heavy Armor and then the Legend Armor IMMEDIATELY from the hidden shop. It is the only equipment shop in the game which you can enter twice, just knock again after the first purchase.
* If you are fairly confident with your 60+G coin trick, you may consider this 3 step route - 1) Buy Light Armor in round 3 2) Buy Heavy Armor in round 4 and live with the trouble for the rest of this easy round 3) Buy Legend Armor in part B of round 5 BEFORE heading to the boss or you will have a tough time fighting Kong in the Heavy Armor.
