How to Use Powers

With the giant chef gone, Unji drags Momo free of the candy heap and thanks her for the save. He explains that he had briefly recovered his spiritual power by holding the kintama, but could not finish shaping an umbrella because his energy had not fully recharged after the earlier fight with the knight. He tossed the ball to Momo, who used her restored psychic powers to catch him and grab one of the chef's tools, finishing off Nom Nom Bongo. Momo offers the kintama back to honor Unji's wish to clear the game, but he tells her to keep it, having spent his powers and come to respect how strong she is.

Two scrolls inform them they have earned a card called Nom Nom Bongo, which lets them gain powers from the sweets they eat. Testing it, Unji eats a donut and his legs become spring-like rows of donuts, while Momo licks a lollipop and her body turns sticky. To revert, Momo recalls her starting card, now bearing images of the knight and chef they beat. Touching the knight's picture conjures a shield, and Unji does the same. Momo concludes that clearing the game means defeating every boss.
