Weapons and Items

Picture	Title	Score	Description
	Hand Axes	None	These weapons follow a circular, rotating path while in flight.  They're not very good for rapid fire, and sometimes they miss their target while dong their loops in the air.  I wouldn't recommend it.
	Knives	None	Knives are like lances, only smaller and much faster.  Unlike the other games, knives do less damage in this game then other weapons.  What might take a lance one hit to kill, might take 2 or more knives to do the job.
	Sickles	None	They are a lot like lances and knives.  The sickle rotates while in flight, but flies straight like lances.  Their rapid fire action is slow, but their damage seems to be good.
	Lances	None	Arthur's trusty old weapon.  The Lance is Arthur's first weapon and is pretty dependable.  It seems they've slowed down the attack speed on the lance in this game, but overall a good, straight shooting weapon.
	Bow and Arrows	None	This weapon allows Arthur to shot a number of arrows in a slightly upwards range.  It's not really good for straight shooting and its damage factor is a little below average.
	Firewater	None	This weapon is like the firewater of Ghouls 'n' Ghosts.  It has very limited range when thrown.  The "bouquet" of fire quickly falls to the ground.  However, once it hits the ground, it spread a few feet forward, burning anything in its path.  This weapon has terrible rapid fire action and I would not recommend using it.
	Goddess' Bracelet	None	This is the only weapon that can kill Sardius.  After wearing Super Magic Armor, Arthur may open a treasure chest and find the fairy Goddess of War floating out of the chest.  She will leave behind this magic bracelet, which can emit strong fireballs.
	Red Shield	None	Initially, this shield is part of the Super Magic Armor.  Should it break, you may find a replacement in one of the treasure chests.  This shield can withstand one hit before breaking.  It must be a direct shot at the shield for the shield to protect Arthur.
	Blue Shield	None	This shield appears after Arthur is wearing Super Magic Armor and has a Red Shield.  It increases shield protection by one damage hit.  One hit will turn it into the Red Shield, one more and the shield breaks.  It must be a direct shot at the shield for the shield to protect Arthur.
	Ceramic Pots	None	These pots are left behind by monsters when you kill them and usually contain new weapons or extra point items.
	Treasure Chests	None	These chests contain new weapons, suits of armor, shields, or extra items.  Beware The Jester...he sometimes comes out of treasure chests and casts a spell on you.
	Citizen Dolls	200	These items give you an extra 200 points.
	Knight Dolls	500	These items give you an extra 200 points
	Normal Money Bags	500	Normal Money Bags give you an extra 500 points
	Special Money Bags	1,000	Special Money Bags have a yellowish-tinge to them and give you an extra 1,000 points
	Leg Traps	None	While playing SG'nG, I came upon this rare item.  It came out of a treasure chest and when I stepped on it with Arthur, he died.  Needless to say, if you see one of these, DON'T STEP ON IT.
	Gate Keys	None	These items appear after you defeat a gatekeeper to allow you to open the gate and move on to the next level.
	Normal Armor	None	When Arthur is running around naked, these suits of armor appear out of treasure chests to protect him.
	Magic Armor	None	This suit of armor enhances your normal weapon in different ways.  Experiment with different weapons
	Super Magic Armor	None	This suit of armor enhances your normal weapons (like the Green Magic Armor), but adds the ability to perform a special magic attack depending on the weapon being held.  Experiment with different weapons.

*My apologies for the "fuzziness" of the pictures.  Although I use Adobe ImageReady to decrease picture sizes, GNG and GNG2 pictures that underwent the "decreasing" process did not come out slightly fuzzy.  I must assume that this is a function of ZSNES in its snapshot phase.
