Sprinkles

The Sprinkles (Japanese: ふりかけ Furikake; Sprinkles) are items in Miitopia. There are five types of Sprinkles, which are HP, MP, Life, Hyper, and Shield. Sprinkles are not available right away at the start of the game. The player has to fulfil a certain condition to unlock them for use. HP and MP Sprinkles in particular, once unlocked, can be upgraded by reaching certain Rescued milestones, which is done by defeating enemies.

The player can use the Sprinkles at any time during map exploration or in the middle of battles by pulling up the menu using the X button and clicking the Sprinkles button. This will bring up a screen showing the entire battle party and a row of available Sprinkles to use above the party. Using Sprinkles is done by picking one of them and tapping the A button on a Mii to use it, though some conditions may forbid this like trying to use HP Sprinkles on a Mii with full HP. To further indicate this, a Mii will either look up at the selected Sprinkles if the Sprinkles can be used or remain looking straight ahead if the Sprinkles can not be used on that Mii. In the Nintendo 3DS version, the player can pick one of the Sprinkles using touch controls and shake it above a Mii to apply the effect. Leaving a stage, either by quitting it or reaching the inn, will replenish all Sprinkles back to full charge.

HP Sprinkles
The HP Sprinkles (Japanese: HPふりかけ HP Furikake; HP Sprinkles) are, as the name indicates, Sprinkles used to restore a Mii's HP. These Sprinkles are colored yellow like the color of the HP bar. The player can unlock the HP Sprinkles by having a Mii with about 25% of his/her max HP left or less, which puts him/her into a critical condition indicated by the Mii kneeling down and his/her status box being colored red. One use/shake of HP Sprinkles restores 1 HP, but continuously tapping/holding down the A button or shaking it will restore more per use/shake (up to 10 HP per use/shake). This and MP Sprinkles are the only Sprinkles usable outside battles.

HP Sprinkles start off with the healing charge of 20 HP, but every multiple of 50 Rescued count will upgrade the amount, up to 999 HP at 2,500 Rescued. This takes 50 upgrades to reach the maximum amount.

HP Sprinkles can not be used on a Mii with full HP or in a knocked out state.

MP Sprinkles
The MP Sprinkles (Japanese: MPふりかけ MP Furikake; MP Sprinkles) are, as the name indicates, Sprinkles used to restore a Mii's MP. These Sprinkles are colored green like the color of the MP bar. The player can unlock the MP Sprinkles by having a Mii with about 25% of his/her max MP left or less. One use/shake of MP Sprinkles restores 1 MP, but continuously tapping/holding down the A button or shaking it will restore more per use/shake (up to 5 MP per use/shake). This and HP Sprinkles are the only Sprinkles usable outside battles.

MP Sprinkles start off with the healing charge of 10 MP, but every multiple of 100 Rescued count will upgrade the amount, up to 500 MP at 2,500 Rescued. This takes 25 upgrades to reach the maximum amount.

MP Sprinkles can not be used on a Mii with full MP or in a knocked out state.

Life Sprinkles
The Life Sprinkles (Japanese: 命のふりかけ Inochi no Furikake; Life Sprinkles) are used to revive a knocked out Mii to full HP. This type of Sprinkles is colored peach. Life Sprinkles only have 1 charge of use. The player can unlock the Life Sprinkles by having a party member knocked out for the first time.

Because of its purpose, no active Mii will look up at the Life Sprinkles if it is selected.

Hyper Sprinkles
The Hyper Sprinkles (Japanese: ノリノリふりかけ Norinori Furikake; Excite Sprinkles) are used to inflict the Excite status on a Mii. A Mii with the Excite status will inflict 3x damage, but can only use basic attacks, and if this happens to the Hero, the player is also unable to pick an attack target if the attack is single-target. The effect lasts for 2 turns.

This type of Sprinkles is colored purple. It has up to 5 uses. The player unlocks the Hyper Sprinkles during the battle against the Cerberus in Karkaton, making it the only Sprinkles to be unlocked from a story action.

Hyper Sprinkles can not be used on a Mii that is already in an Excite status or a Mii that has a status that can not be overwritten by another, like knocked out or Sleep.

Shield Sprinkles
The Shield Sprinkles (Japanese: まもりのふりかけ Mamori no Furikake; Protection Sprinkles) are used to apply a Shield on a Mii. A Shield lasts for a whole battle and protects a Mii from a single damage-dealing attack, resulting in no damage inflicted, but upon a successful protection, the Shield breaks. Some actions can still bypass Shields, however, like any enemy skill that reduces a Mii's HP to 1. A Shield will also not block the effect of status infliction skills, though damage can still be blocked if the skill also deals damage.

This type of Sprinkles is colored blue. It has up to 5 uses. The player can unlock the Shield Sprinkles by having at least one party member getting locked on, which is caused by either Wave Cannon 2 used by Robo-"Mii", Ancient Robot, or Ultimate Robot Warrior, Magic Lock 2 used by "Mii"'s Right Hand, Evil Sage, or Light Sage, or Crash Attack used by the Juvenile Snurp.

Shield Sprinkles can not be used on a Mii that already has a Shield applied, but can be applied on a Mii with a Barrier, which causes the Barrier to disappear to be replaced with Shield. The reverse also applies for the latter case, where a Mii can have his/her Shield replaced by a Barrier by having the skills Barrier or Forest Aegis used on the Shielded Mii.
