* Return to [[MegaMari]]
Items in MegaMari can be obtained in two ways:
----
*Items dropped by enemies
*Items found at preset locations


Since I didn't find any page on the net with information on how to find tanks and other items, I decided to create one. Please note I don't have finished the game yet and this is incomplete --[[User:Dodoecchi|Dodoecchi]] 16:30, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
When enemies are defeated, they may drop yellow mushrooms, blue crystals, extra lives, or just nothing. Items dropped by enemies disappear after about 10 seconds, so don't delay. They drop straight down from the enemies and can fall into pits or other areas you can't reach. Also note that the items go through some types of blocks (that you would land on instead).


== Lives ==
There are also items are found in preset locations in stages. Energy tanks can only be found in preset locations, not counting the use of [[MegaMari/Passwords|passwords]]. Note that once you collect an item at a preset location, it does not reappear until you exit the stage (clearing the stage and re-entering or getting a game over).

Yellow mushrooms restore health for the current character, while blue crystals restore energy for the current weapon (for the current character). Each stage contains one or more mushrooms or crystals at preset locations. Enemies also occasionally drop these.
 
=== Reimu's Stage ===
*After going up three screens, take the upper path to obtain a big '''yellow mushroom'''.
*In the final area (after second Aya encounter, climb up two screens), there are two small '''yellow mushrooms''' on a platform up high; you need Marisa's broom. These are hard to get; they're guarded by a mecha rabbit and a Yin-Yang orb. Eliminate the rabbit first. The Yin-Yang orb can act as a stepping stone, so that you can position your broom better.
 
=== Cirno's Stage ===
The second area with Lily White. There is a big '''yellow mushroom''' at the beginning of the upper path, but it is placed higher than you can reach with your jump. If you don't have the broom, you can first take the lower path halfway, climb up to the upper path, and backtrack. Beware of Lily appearing suddenly.
 
=== Sakuya's Stage ===
*Early on, where there's a ladder heading downward and a ladder heading upward, there are two small '''blue crystals''' in the top right corner. You may want to clear the enemies first before climbing up.
*After the room with four electric enemies, there is a room with enemies guarding a big '''yellow mushroom'''. Good timing (or [[MegaMari: Weapons#Reimu.27s_weapons|Reimu's]] or [[MegaMari: Weapons#Eirin.27s_weapons|Eirin's]] weapon) is needed to get the mushroom without getting hit by the enemy guarding it. You can drop down from the disappearing blocks, but it's possible to jump from below to climb the ladder. With Marisa's broom, this room becomes much more trivial.
 
=== Remilia's Stage ===
In the middle of the second set of staircases, there are two small '''yellow mushrooms'''. They are on a platform out of reach, so you need Marisa's broom.
 
=== Youmu's Stage ===
*Once you clear the boat ride section, there are several '''yellow mushrooms''' when you enter the next room. The three small ones are obvious, but the big one requires Marisa's broom.
*After the 1st staircase, there are two small '''yellow mushrooms''' in the path to heal your injuries from the staircase.
*After the 2nd staircase, there are three small '''yellow mushrooms''' in the path to help you recharge before the boss fight.
 
=== Yuyuko's Stage ===
There is a big '''yellow mushroom''' at the end of the long hallway where ghosts spawn. Using Marisa's broom is recommended.
 
=== Reisen's Stage ===
There is a big '''yellow mushroom''' in the second part of the stage, soon after you see large enemies that float down. The mushroom is  behind bamboo spikes that you can jump over to get it. Using Marisa's broom is recommended since the jump is risky.
 
=== Eirin's Stage ===
Drop down the rooms with spiked thorns, taking care to avoid death. On the left, there are four small '''blue crystals'''. Jump over the spikes carefully.

*After you get back inside, as you go up, one room has a big '''blue crystal'''. Using Marisa's broom is recommended to avoid falling back to the previous room.
*When going down past the lasers, in the 5th screen, there is a big '''blue crystal'''. It is primarily there for recharging Thousand Knives; use it once to get it more safely.
*After clearing the lasers, at the end of the hallway, there are two ladders going down to the next room. The left ladder is the path you take and you can collect two small '''yellow mushrooms''' in the top left corner, while the right ladder gives you two small '''blue crystals'''.
*Continue going down to find a big '''yellow mushroom''' on a small floating platform above the spikes. Note that you can get this mushroom off-screen after the boss fight begins, if you manage to go up high enough.
 
=== Castle Stage 2 ===
*There are two small and one big '''blue crystals''' at the left in the beginning. Use Marisa's broom to reach them. Note that your health is restored when starting the next castle stage, but not your weapons.
*In the next room, there is a big '''yellow mushroom''' that you can reach using Marisa's broom.
*In the room after that, before the long broom ride, there are two big '''blue crystals'''. Use them for your broom if necessary; you need almost full energy for it to get across the spiked thorns area.
*After two sets of disappearing blocks, in a small compartment, there are four small '''blue crystals'''. Time yourself so you won't get hurt by the spike trap that drops down.
*In a small room with green barriers while you move up, there is a big '''yellow mushroom''' (and a mushroom tank). Destroy the green barriers with [[MegaMari: Weapons#Reisen.27s_weapons|Reisen's weapon]].
 
=== Castle Stage 3A ===
*Each star block contains either a small '''yellow mushroom''' or a small '''blue crystal'''. Shoot the block to make the mushroom or crystal appear above it. These tend to not disappear.
*When you see the two electric enemies, take the lower path when you see the spiked thorns to get a big '''blue crystal''' (but you will have to take the upper path to continue the level). Take care so that you don't collide with bullets and fall.
*There is an easy way to restore your health just before the boss fight. When you see three rows made out of brown destructible blocks (no star blocks), do not destroy them. Instead of entering through the door, climb up the blocks. Then fly to the right with the broom to to get on the land above the door and collect the big '''yellow mushroom'''. Keep going to the right to find even more mushrooms in the next room (6 small ones and 2 big ones). There's more than enough to restore you to full health.
 
=== Castle Stage 3B ===
*Go up one screen to find a big '''yellow mushroom''' on the left side. You will need to drop down from up high in that screen.
*As you keep going up, there is a big '''blue crystal''' behind the green barrier. You need Alice's [[MegaMari: Weapons#Reisen.27s_weapons|Mental Sacrifice]] to destroy the barrier.
 
=== Castle Stage 4 ===
*After encountering Meiling, there are three small '''blue crystals''' near the ladder.
*Each time you defeat one of the 8 bosses, she will drop a big '''yellow mushroom'''. Be aware that if you're on the teleporter when the boss is defeated, you will automatically exit that room. This may cause you to miss the mushroom.
*Once you defeat the 8 bosses, a path to the right opens up and in the next room, you can ride an elevator platform up to a teleporter. After entering it, there will be two big '''blue crystals''' on the left side, there to refuel your weapons for more boss fights.

Items in MegaMari can be obtained in two ways:

  • Items dropped by enemies
  • Items found at preset locations

When enemies are defeated, they may drop yellow mushrooms, blue crystals, extra lives, or just nothing. Items dropped by enemies disappear after about 10 seconds, so don't delay. They drop straight down from the enemies and can fall into pits or other areas you can't reach. Also note that the items go through some types of blocks (that you would land on instead).

There are also items are found in preset locations in stages. Energy tanks can only be found in preset locations, not counting the use of passwords. Note that once you collect an item at a preset location, it does not reappear until you exit the stage (clearing the stage and re-entering or getting a game over).

Mushrooms and crystals come in two sizes, small and big. They are scattered and generally in plain sight, although some may require Marisa's broom or Reisen's weapon. Some are simply in the path, waiting for you to collect them, while others involve slightly deviating from the path.

Extra lives and energy tanks typically require a harder challenge than mushrooms and crystals. Energy tanks in particular are often hidden.

Mushrooms and Crystals

Yellow mushrooms restore health for the current character, while blue crystals restore energy for the current weapon (for the current character). Each stage contains one or more mushrooms or crystals at preset locations. Enemies also occasionally drop these.

Reimu's Stage

  • After going up three screens, take the upper path to obtain a big yellow mushroom.
  • In the final area (after second Aya encounter, climb up two screens), there are two small yellow mushrooms on a platform up high; you need Marisa's broom. These are hard to get; they're guarded by a mecha rabbit and a Yin-Yang orb. Eliminate the rabbit first. The Yin-Yang orb can act as a stepping stone, so that you can position your broom better.

Cirno's Stage

The second area with Lily White. There is a big yellow mushroom at the beginning of the upper path, but it is placed higher than you can reach with your jump. If you don't have the broom, you can first take the lower path halfway, climb up to the upper path, and backtrack. Beware of Lily appearing suddenly.

Sakuya's Stage

  • Early on, where there's a ladder heading downward and a ladder heading upward, there are two small blue crystals in the top right corner. You may want to clear the enemies first before climbing up.
  • After the room with four electric enemies, there is a room with enemies guarding a big yellow mushroom. Good timing (or Reimu's or Eirin's weapon) is needed to get the mushroom without getting hit by the enemy guarding it. You can drop down from the disappearing blocks, but it's possible to jump from below to climb the ladder. With Marisa's broom, this room becomes much more trivial.

Remilia's Stage

In the middle of the second set of staircases, there are two small yellow mushrooms. They are on a platform out of reach, so you need Marisa's broom.

Youmu's Stage

  • Once you clear the boat ride section, there are several yellow mushrooms when you enter the next room. The three small ones are obvious, but the big one requires Marisa's broom.
  • After the 1st staircase, there are two small yellow mushrooms in the path to heal your injuries from the staircase.
  • After the 2nd staircase, there are three small yellow mushrooms in the path to help you recharge before the boss fight.

Yuyuko's Stage

There is a big yellow mushroom at the end of the long hallway where ghosts spawn. Using Marisa's broom is recommended.

Reisen's Stage

There is a big yellow mushroom in the second part of the stage, soon after you see large enemies that float down. The mushroom is behind bamboo spikes that you can jump over to get it. Using Marisa's broom is recommended since the jump is risky.

Eirin's Stage

Drop down the rooms with spiked thorns, taking care to avoid death. On the left, there are four small blue crystals. Jump over the spikes carefully.

Castle Stage 1

  • After you get back inside, as you go up, one room has a big blue crystal. Using Marisa's broom is recommended to avoid falling back to the previous room.
  • When going down past the lasers, in the 5th screen, there is a big blue crystal. It is primarily there for recharging Thousand Knives; use it once to get it more safely.
  • After clearing the lasers, at the end of the hallway, there are two ladders going down to the next room. The left ladder is the path you take and you can collect two small yellow mushrooms in the top left corner, while the right ladder gives you two small blue crystals.
  • Continue going down to find a big yellow mushroom on a small floating platform above the spikes. Note that you can get this mushroom off-screen after the boss fight begins, if you manage to go up high enough.

Castle Stage 2

  • There are two small and one big blue crystals at the left in the beginning. Use Marisa's broom to reach them. Note that your health is restored when starting the next castle stage, but not your weapons.
  • In the next room, there is a big yellow mushroom that you can reach using Marisa's broom.
  • In the room after that, before the long broom ride, there are two big blue crystals. Use them for your broom if necessary; you need almost full energy for it to get across the spiked thorns area.
  • After two sets of disappearing blocks, in a small compartment, there are four small blue crystals. Time yourself so you won't get hurt by the spike trap that drops down.

Jump across them to collect the tank.

Yuyuko's Stage

The tank is at the end of the series of disappearing blocks. In the 3rd series of the blocks, stay at the top of the screen and jump across the upper path, timing carefully not to jump too early. If you have the broom, you can just use it to jump up from below after getting past the blocks via the lower path.

Eirin's Stage

Before the boss room, go to the top left corner of the screen to discover a hidden room. The tank is in the lower left corner. Watch out for the flying rabbits; it may help to jump over them when they fly toward you.

Castle Stage 1

  • Jump on the first moving spiked platform to reach the tank at the left.
  • When rushing down past the lasers, there is a tank on 6th screen in a horizontal corridor. The only way to get it is to use Marisa's Thousand Knives to stop time and freeze the lasers. Use it at the right moment to get the tank and come back out safely.
