Zed

Zeds are pickup items that maintain the protagonist's health by keeping them asleep in the real world. Zeds can be found throughout the dream realms often scattered around the nightmares that the winks are trapped in and on the race tracks.
Zeds are lost when an enemy hits the protagonist, the protagonist suffers environmental damage such as touching lava or the protagonist falls from a significant enough height. If the protagonist runs out of Zeds they will lose a life.
A maximum of 100 zeds can be carried at any one time.
==Trivia==
Zeds are mechanically similar to rings from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.
