Kinstone Fusion

is a mechanic in.

Overview
TMC: is the act of matching two complementary NaN Kinstone Pieces with another character or object, resulting in a completed gold, red, blue, or green medallion. NaN Kinstone Pieces only match with a precise complementary match, despite their many variations and colors. A successful TMC: creates a form of "good luck" for TMC:, often rewarding him with items and new passageways.

After a successful TMC:, the TMC: will denote the general location and type of reward with various icons:
 * Doors and arrows signify newly accessible areas.
 * People signify a character having something new.
 * Scrolls signify newly appeared NaN Treasure Chests.
 * Eggs signify newly appeared creatures, namely NaN Golden Monsters and NaN Joy Butterflies.
 * Sprouts signify a TMC: that has grown into a TMC: and can now be climbed to reach a secret area.

There is also a unique icon that appears on the map of TMC: representing the TMC: to the TMC:; it appears after TMC: has TMC: NaN Kinstone Pieces with TMC:.

Fusers
There are many different characters and objects that can perform NaN Kinstone Fusions in. While many characters will always possess a TMC: to TMC:, there are a number of NaN Kinstone Fusions that are not tied to any particular individual. Instead, these NaN Kinstone Fusions can be triggered with almost any character in the game, even if they already have an established TMC:. Some characters can TMC: NaN Kinstone Pieces multiple times, as well, and some NaN Kinstone Fusions may not be triggered the first time a character is encountered. Some characters have a random chance of their TMC: becoming available, and TMC: may need to leave and re-enter the particular area a number of times before the TMC: becomes available.

Random Fusers
The 18 random NaN Kinstone Fusions can be performed with any of the following characters, and some may also trigger multiple random NaN Kinstone Fusions. Some characters, such as TMC:, become unavailable after certain points in the story are reached, while others, such as TMC:, do not become available until after certain points in the story are reached. If one of the following characters has an available TMC: and becomes inaccessible during the story, that TMC: will simply transfer to another available character from the list at random.

In addition, random NaN Kinstone Fusions may be performed with any of the NaN Minishs found throughout TMC:; NaN Forest Picoris, NaN Library Minishs, NaN Mountain Minishs, and NaN Town Minishs may all have NaN Kinstone Fusions available.

List of Fusions
A total of 100 NaN Kinstone Fusions can be performed throughout the game; 18 of them are random NaN Kinstone Fusions not tied to a particular character, and 9 of them are necessary to advance the story (these required NaN Kinstone Fusions are performed with gold NaN Kinstone Pieces).

In addition, many NaN Kinstone Fusions do not become available until certain events have transpired; there are six "stages" of the game that transition into one another as TMC: continues on his journey.
 * Stage 1: From the moment TMC: first encounters the TMC: in TMC: and obtains the TMC: to the moment that he enters TMC: for the first time and TMC: imperonates TMC:
 * Stage 2: From the end of stage 1 to the moment TMC: obtains the TMC: after defeating TMC:
 * Stage 3: From the end of stage 2 to the moment TMC: obtains the TMC: and encounters TMC:'s spirit at TMC:
 * Stage 4: From the end of stage 3 to the moment TMC: obtains a gold TMC: from TMC: in the TMC:
 * Stage 5: From the end of stage 4 to the moment TMC: obtains the TMC: after defeating the TMC:
 * Stage 6: From the end of stage 5 to the moment TMC: defeats TMC: and finishes the game

The TMC: keep track of successful NaN Kinstone Fusions, including TMC: ones. After all 100 are TMC:, TMC: will replace the TMC: with the TMC:.
