Golden Hounouran Sword

The Golden Hounouran Sword is a variant of the Hounouran Sword powerup. It is twice as powerful and requires no energy to use. It is given to the player inside a special Gift Box after he or she has failed a level 20 times in a row.

Appearance and Characteristics
The Golden Hounouran Sword is different from a standard Hounouran Sword only in its coloring; its shape and size is the same. A Golden Hounouran Sword possesses a white handle and a glowing, yellow blade. This and the fact that it does not consume Energy might mean that it is not actually powered by Hounouran, but instead a different, unknown substance.

Technical Use
A Golden Hounouran Sword deals thirty damage from a single close combat slash, enough to take down many standard enemies in one or two hits. This is twice the damage dealt by a standard Hounouran Sword.

If a Golden Hounouran Sword is not lost by the time a player completes a level, it will be swapped with a standard Hounouran Sword.
