Investigate

Spirit Warrior: The Spirit Warrior state allows players to slowly burn through MP to active the following abilities: prevents the spawning of non-boss/normal enemies, attacks drain players' MP and not HP, allows for "turning a bosses MP against them by using a powerful I-PSI shockwave ability". Galapagos frames this as entering "MP vs MP" mode where the focus is just fighting bosses (hence stopping normal enemy spawns), and implies that Spirit Warrior mode attacks also drain the bosses' MP exclusively? So you defeat their MP bar instead of their HP bar?
Manual implies attack strength may increase with your current PSI reserves, as it states "Raven can overcome the most demonic spirits in Nightmare Circus just attacking with a huge Psi." Meaning either your attacks do more damage, or (more likely) that its just "having a lot of MP means you can do harder-hitting attacks", but investigate.
Is there any penalty for not physically grabbing the souls that float out of enemies, like the enemies respawning, or the MP gain going to Jester's meter instead?)
Galapagos: "In addition, Jester doesn't become a game if Jester converts "The Sea of MP" to his own HP. Apart from "Sea of MP", "Jester's MP value" is set as a numerical value. The specification that the Jester in the game can recover his own HP within that range." Is this saying Jester's healing amount in the final battle is related to how many Jester Loans players have taken from him? OR maybe defeating (freeing the souls of) more of the game's enemies before the final battle gives Jester less MP to pull from to heal himself?
Paraphrased: "There is an alternative element of the game's interconnected MP system called "I-PSI Reserve". Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be working (/or only works in very minor ways). There is a possibility that this is due to the game's unfinished development."^[1]

Having a lot of trouble with both the proper text link, and the reference for this YouTube video. EDIT: Thank you for this and for fixing that youtube link! CartridgeCulture (talk) 02:01, 20 March 2021 (EDT)

Template:Ref ... to add your signature (with date and time) to a conversation, add four tildes (~) at the end of each of your replies (in the not too distant past, you just needed to click on an icon at the top of the page to add your signature , but this feature is "broken" and still needs to be fixed) --Asagoth (talk) 00:03, 20 March 2021 (EDT)

Is there a style guide for this wiki? Also is there a list of these special codes that we use for replacing words with other things? ALSO could you assist me in adding an Interviews section to this page, and then adding this into it?: https://segaretro.org/Interview:_Stefano_Arnhold_(2015-11-16)_by_Sega-16 I know there’s a wway to do it all properly and cleanly but I have no idea how to do it. Thanks if you can, appreciate all the help too c;

Image tagging, Sega Retro templates, Help page... another good way to learn is to see how others do it (just look for a similar page to see how it was edited) ... if you have any more doubts about something just ask our Experts Black Squirrel and SorachiJirachi‎ a.k.a. BSonirachi on Sonic Retro (Wiki Sysops) and Hivebrain (Administrator)... I'll add an interview section to Stefano Arnhold's page for you... and again... don't forget to add your signature at the end of each of your replies...Asagoth (talk) 07:11, 20 March 2021 (EDT)

Some observations...

In the back cover the story is told this way... :

"The maniac Jester resurrected the El Diablo traveling carnival (it says "parque de diversões" which in Portuguese means "theme park"... a "traveling carnival" would be a "parque de diversões itinerante"... but that's exactly what we have in Nightmare Circus... a traveling carnival) from the flames of hell. Now, terrifying demons roam the carnival, spreading fear and destruction where once there were children and lots of fun.
Only, Raven a native (American) with mystic and telepathic powers can defeat Jester and his followers in this carnival. Well, "fun" is not the most appropriate word to define this place..."--Asagoth (talk) 22:48, 22 December 2021 (EST)

Thank you, this is awesome. I wanted text confirmation that Raven was Native American. Also those refs are so cool. I saw the missing photo of the dev team too, so sad :( Maybe if I send enough emails I can find whoever has the original :p 20:51, 23 December 2021 (EST)

His brother is called White Eagle (player 2 on 2 player mode)... yep... it hurts when cool stuff gets lost... so sad... by the way... Leto Diablo is in fact Jester... I just don't know why TecToy made such a mess with the villain's name...--Asagoth (talk) 21:06, 23 December 2021 (EST)
