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.
Items That Can Be Purchased
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!

| Defense | 2 | 3 | 4 |
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.

Sandals
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| File:Mystical Ninja Sandals.PNG | Sandals are very important in the top-view stages. They are relatively inexpensive and a have many different uses. Sandals will increase your run speed and allow you to jump over longer gaps. Sandals can be stacked and the stats go up each time. You start with one pair of sandals and can get up to three to max out your stats. Any extra sandals purchased will not boost your stats, but will fill in if a pair is lost. You will lose one pair of sandals each time you take a hit in the top-view stages (even with armor). So, be cautious when you run fast with them. Sandals have no effect when playing in side-view stages (which also means you can't lose them in side-view stages). |
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).
