Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin/Relics
From StrategyWiki, the video game walkthrough and strategy guide wiki
Relics in Portrait of Ruin are items that give Jonathan and Charlotte extra abilities, such as being able to slide and do a double jump. You are able to turn them off and on in the main menu. Note that you can find out the specific control processes to use these techniques in-game, so they are not mentioned here.
