Game Details
Understanding the Screen
Pumpkin Gauge 1
This is Jack's remaining Life. When Jack takes damage, the Pumpkin Gauge decreases, and when it runs out, the game is over.
Targeting Arrow 2
This arrow will float over the closest object, enemy or character that Jack can attack or interact with. When in MANUAL targeting mode, press A to change the target. When in AUTO targeting mode, reposition Jack to change the target.
Souls 3
The total number of Souls collected. With the Souls you collect, you can buy useful things in the Witches’ Shop.
!-Count 4
Whenever you taunt or scare the enemy, they will show their shock and anger by popping an exclamation mark (!) over their heads. Each time that you do this, you will earn a point. The more you earn, the higher your Nightmare Rank will be (see Nightmare Ranking pg. 14).

Combos 5
Build up combos by continuously attacking enemies. The more combos that you make, the higher your Nightmare Rank will be (see Nightmare Ranking pg. 14).
Red Souls - Pumpkin King 6
The number of Red Souls you have available.
Blue Souls 7
Collect these from fallen enemies to temporarily boost the Soul Robber’s power. Access the ITEM menu to use a Blue Soul. Jack can only hold up to five Blue Souls in his inventory. If Jack already has five Blue Souls, picking up another will automatically activate it.
Present - Santa Jack 8
This shows the present that you are currently using. Switch presents by pressing Y.
Restoring the Pumpkin Gauge
The spring in the center of Halloween Town will restore Jack’s health to full strength, completely refilling the Pumpkin Gauge. By carrying water from this spring around in the Crystal Bottle, you can restore Jack's Life even when you are away from the spring.
Additionally, defeated enemies will occasionally drop Green Souls. A small Green Soul will restore one pumpkin, while the large Green Soul will restore four pumpkins to the Pumpkin Gauge.
Continue the Story or Game Over
When the Pumpkin Gauge runs out, you are taken to the CONTINUE screen. If you select YES before the countdown runs out, you will continue the game,
but at a cost…20% of your collected Souls.
