Golden Sticks

The Golden Sticks as they appear in Stikman's Legend.

**Golden Sticks** are important items in the *Stikman* series. They are stolen by the Devil Dancers during the events of both *Stikman Scratch* and *Stikman Adventures*. Due to events in *Stikman Adventures*, they fly all across Stikopa and become the main collectable in the game and are important for world progression.

In *Stikman's Legend*, Golden Sticks are highly sought-after by the Bootrap, Dictiontrap, and Bootrap Mage, as well as Stikman and Stike. They are wished to be used as they are required to destroy the Golden Boulders blocking the exit out of Mount Madeline. The Devil Dancers also attempt to obtain the Golden Sticks, but for a greater, unknown purpose.

## Appearances

### Stikman Scratch

*Stikman Scratch* begins with the Devil Dancers arriving in the Devilship at Stikman's cave of Golden Sticks and proceed to steal it. Stikman is in the cave while the Devilship is carrying it away. Stikman eventually falls out, presumably landing near Tourmaline Outlook.

### Stikman's Legend

In *Stikman's Legend*, the Golden Sticks are key items that increase the player's maximum Diamond MP by one point for each plate collected. Three plates of Golden Sticks are required in order to destroy the Golden Boulders blocking the exit out of Mount Madeline. Stikman, Stike, the Bootrap, the Dictiontrap, and the Bootrap Mage all attempt to gather the Golden Sticks for this exact purpose. The Devil Dancers also wish to obtain the Golden Sticks, but for an unknown cause.

Prior to the events of *Stikman's Legend*, Handboss, the Bootrap Mage, and Stike are all known to possess some Golden Sticks. Stike is kidnapped by the Devil Dancers overnight after they discover he possesses said Golden Sticks.

In the beginning of *Stikman's Legend*, Stikman defeats Handboss in a fight; as a result, he is given Handboss's Golden Sticks and is told to protect them from "the embodiment of doom," who are later described by the Bootrap Mage as the Devil Dancers.

When Stikman first encounters the Bootrap Mage in the magma chamber, they are shocked to discover Stikman possesses Golden Sticks himself. The Bootrap Mage then curses Handboss and regrets having given Handboss any Golden Sticks, revealing said Golden Sticks originally belonged to the Bootrap. They are then told by two Dictiontrap that Golden Sticks are said to have been spotted in the springs, and the Bootrap Mage says that they will be taking Stikman's Golden Sticks the next time they meet.

In the springs, Stikman overhears the Bootrap Mage and a Dictiontrap discussing the absense of any Golden Sticks. They then spot Stikman approaching them, and the Bootrap Mage challenges him in a fight. After being defeated, the Bootrap Mage tells Stikman that he was stronger than they had expected, and rewards him with the second plate of Golden Sticks. Stikman is told to protect them from the Devil Dancers before the Bootrap Mage teleports away.

After Stikman sleeps in the tent and enters the magma chamber at night, he encounters four Devil Dancers, who are holding Stike captive. The Devil Dancers are surprised to discover that Stikman has two plates of Golden Sticks, which also catches the attention of Stike. One of the Devil Dancers brings Stike into the sky, while the other three are told to kill Stikman. After Stikman defeats said Devil Dancers, the fourth Devil Dancer and Stike both fall down, with the Devil Dancer exploding. Stike gets up, thanks Stikman for his help, and tells Stikman about having been kidnapped.

In the morning, Stikman and Stike head up to the final Golden Boulders to destroy them and leave Mount Madeline. Before doing so, they meet a Bootrap, a Dictiontrap, the Bootrap Mage, two Handoom, and Handboss, who all say goodbye to Stikman. The Golden Sticks then destroy the Golden Boulders, allowing the Stikman and Stike to leave to what can be assumed to be Ormali City.

### Stikman Adventures

In *Stikman Adventures*, the Devil Dancers arrive in the Devilship at Stikman's cave of Golden Sticks and steal it, mirroring the events of *Stikman Scratch*. Stikman is in the cave while the Devilship is carrying it away and eventually falls out. The Golden Sticks also fall out of the cave and fly all across Stikopa.

Golden Sticks are required to progress through worlds throughout the game. With enough, the player can break the Golden Boulders summoned by the Devil Dancers that separate worlds.[*citation needed*]
