Book Off () is Japan’s biggest chain of second hand bookstores.
It is operated by Book Off Corporation Limited.
The first Book Off store opened in May, 1990.
The first franchisee Book Off store opened in Nov, 1991.
The success of the business expanded to 917 stores in Japan and 14 stores abroad (8 in US, 3 in France, 2 in Korea, and 1 in Canada).
Book Off sells books including comic books, magazines, and novels, and also sells CDs, DVDs, and Game software.
Books are grouped by genres, writers, and prices.
The overseas Book Off stores sell second hand books from Japan and also from its own country.
Book Off not only sells the second hand books, but also buys the books from customers.
For that reason Book Off’s theme copy is “お売りください” which means “Please, sell us your book”.
The company uses this copy rather than ”We buy your book” to show respect to customers.
Some Book Off chains, especially ones abroad, have various signboard designs, but still they share the symbol colors of Book Off which are yellow, blue, and red.
Book Off has its mascot "Yomuyomukun (Mr. Yomu-yomu)" holding a book in his hands. "
Yomu (読む)" in Japanese means "read".
Another uniqueness of Book Off is the employees’ loud greeting.
Employees shout “いらっしゃいませ! (
irashaimase! :
welcome!)”
when customers enter, and "ありがとうございました! (
arigatou gozaimasita! :
thank you!)”
when customers leave the shop.
Book Off chain stores abroad also greet customers with Japanese.
From 1999 Book Off Corporation Limited started to expand the business into other second hand stores.
B-Kids, B-Sports, B-Style, B-Life and B-Select cover second hand baby goods, children wear, sports goods, ladies’ and men’s wear, interior goods, and accessories respectively.
After the first B-Kid store opened in Apr, 1999, now there are 26 B-Kids, 32 B-Style, 24 B-Sports stores in Japan.
Book Off charges about 81% of the business and the other type of stores charge 19% of the entire sales.

Françoise Hardy is a French singer, actress and model.
As a celebrity in various fields, she has been an icon in France.
Hardy was born at 17 January 1944 in Paris and grew up in rich family.
From her childhood, she was so interested in literature that she was attracted to Simone de Beauvoir and Albert Camus.
She received a guitar from her mother as a present for her passing baccalaureat at 16.
It caused her to get interested in Chanson.
Hardy mastered guitar by herself and showed an interest in composing chanson.
Trying to be a singer was hard, she failed many times.
After entering the University of Sorbonne in Paris, she kept studying a chanson in Petit conservatoire de la chanson, a chanson school founded by Mireille  who was a famous singer at that time.
Soon, she contracted with the record label Vogue in November 1961.
In June 1962, she made a great debut with her famous chanson Tous les garçons et les filles which became a hit all over Europe at her age of 18.
The song made the wave of Yé-yé music in France with two million sales.
It was when another famous song Comment te dire adieu appeared that Hardy estalished her as a singer in 1968.
The song received a favorable review from many critics who were indifferent to young singers without precedent.
Since then, she has been a cultural iconic figure in France.
All of almost her songs were self written, and they have been translated into English, Spanish, Italian and German.
As an actress, she appeared in many films - Château en Suède (1963), Une balle au cœur (1965), What’s new pussycat? (
1966) Masculin- Féminin (1966) and Grand prix (1967)
She has a son, Thomas Dutronc in 1973 and married his father Jacques Dutronc.
Now, they remain a couple.
Baekje was ancient kingdom on the Korean Peninsula from 18 BCE to 660 CE.
Baekje was also called Nam Buyeo.
According to the Samguk Sagi, a historical record published in ancient Korea, Baekje was founded by Onjo at Wirye-sung (the present-day Han River area in Seoul).
Baekje was one of the three kingdoms of Korea together with Goguryeo and Silla.
Beakje, Goguryeo and Silla tried to expand each of their lands by allying and making war against one another.
In the 4th century, Beakje conquered almost every southern part of the Korean Peninsula and flourished by accepting Buddhism and reforming its system.
Also, due to its advantageous natural environment, Baekje easily traded with China and Japan.
Especially Baekje established goodwill relationships with Japanese rulers of the Kufun period and transmitted its advanced culture such as pottery and Buddhism to Japan.
However, in the 5th century, Baekje was defeated by Goguryeo.
It suffered the loss of its capital.
Baekje moved its capital to Ungjin.
In 6th century, King Seong decided to move capital to Sabi to restore Baekje's glorious past.
However, Baekje was ruined by Silla at 660.
Although Baekje was destroyed at that time, many ill-fated attempts were existed to restore Baekje from its descendants.

The App Store is an online market used on Apple's iOS, managed by Apple Inc. The App Store lets users view and download applications that were made with the iOS Software Development Kit.
Apps can be downloaded onto an iOS device directly, or onto a computer using iTunes (also managed by Apple).
Apps in the App Store are made mainly for iOS devices, such as iPhones and iPads.
Some apps can be downloaded for free while others have a cost.
Some have "in-app purchases", which are purchases made within the app.
These are sometimes done to remove ads or to add features to an app.
30% of all profit made through apps goes to Apple, while 70% goes to whoever made the app.
In July 2008, the App Store opened with a change to iTunes.
Apple could now control app quality and add extra pricing to the already set cost of an app.
A day later, the iPhone 3G was launched and it came with iOS 2.0.1.
This version had App Store support, and was soon made available for older iPhones and the iPod Touch. ,
there are over one million apps on the App Store.
As of January, 2011, the App Store had nearly 10 billion app downloads, which the company said using the "10 Billion App Countdown".
At 10:26 am (GMT) on January 22, 2011, the 10 billionth app was downloaded from Apple App Store.
As of July that year, 200 million users downloaded over 15 billion apps from the store.
Average profit per app is about US$8,700, but Apple does not let the public view this data.
In May 2011, Apple approved its 500,000th app.
However, Apple attempted to trademark the term App Store in 2008 and was approved in 2011.
However, in June 2011, U.S. District Judge Phyllis Hamilton said she'll "probably" deny Apple's attempt to stop Amazon using the "App Store" name.
On July 6, Apple lost the lawsuit.
The word app is now a popular word; in early 2011, app was given 2010s "Word of the Year" by the American Dialect Society.
Apple does not have a trademark on the word app, which has been used as short for "application" since at least the mid-1990s and in products since 2002, for example Google Apps (first introduced in 2006).
In February 2011, Apple announced a new subscription-based service, which will allow developers to set the length and price of subscriptions.
Previously, new magazine or news releases were sold as its own release.
The new feature allowed publishers to sell content directly through their apps, allowing users to receive new content over specified periods of time.
In September 2013, Apple announced at its Worldwide Developers Conference the addition of a Kids category to the App Store with the launch of iOS 7.
The category is split by age range and apps made for children under 13 must follow the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
As of the end of 2013, App Store users spent over US$10 billion in 2013, and users downloaded almost three billion apps in December 2013.
This was the most successful month in App Store history, and developers have earned over $15 billion since the making of the App Store.
Number of launched applications
On July 10, 2008, Apple CEO Steve Jobs told USA Today that the App Store contained 500 non-Apple applications for the iPhone and the iPod Touch, and of these 25 percent were free.
These applications range from business to game applications, entertainment to educational applications, and many more.
On July 11, 2008, the store opened, allowing users to buy applications and put them on an iPhone or iPod Touch with iOS 2.0.
Ten million applications were downloaded the first weekend.
On January 16, 2009, Apple said on its website that 500 million applications had been downloaded.
The billionth application was downloaded on April 23, 2009.
In March 2012, the number of apps downloaded reached 25 billion.
iPad applications
The iPad was launched in April 2010 with over 3000 applications made for it.
About eight months after the release of the iPad, over 50,000 apps were available for it.
Most popular apps
As of July 2021, these are the most installed App Store apps of all time
History of the #1 Most Installed App
Application ratings
Apple rates apps worldwide based on their content, and gives the app an age group for which is appropriate.
The following are the ratings that Apple has detailed:
App approval process
Controversial apps
In November 2012, Boyfriend Maker, a dating sim game, was removed due to "reports of references to violent sexual acts and paedophilia" which were not appropriate to Boyfriend Maker's age rating of 4+.
A modified version named Boyfriend Maker Plus was approved by Apple in April 2013.
On March 11, 2013, HiddenApps was approved and appeared in the App Store.
This app allowed access to special developer-only menus, could allow built-in apps to be hidden, and an option to turn off iAds, Apple's ad system.
National limitations
While Apple wants the App Store to be available worldwide, their market is restricted to country borders.
Different countries have slightly different app stores.
Some apps may only be available on the app stores of a few countries, while others can be available in many countries.
Trying to use an app store of one country while in another may be a problem: Apple warns that "one of the risks of creating a German account while you are in Greece is, our system may able to detect it and it may put restrictions on your account (German) that will prevent you from using the iTunes Store".
Similar services for other devices
Other mobile devices have other app stores available for them.
Some of these are made by the company that made the device, but not all are that way.
Amazon.com has the Amazon Appstore for all Android users.
The Google Play store (was known as Android Market) is the official store for Google's Android devices.
In 2010, Microsoft created the Windows Phone Store, an online market for their Windows Phone devices.

Saturday Night's Main Event was a professional wrestling television show that was aired as a special 36 times by World Wrestling Entertainment.
Saturday Night's Main Event was a tremendous ratings success for NBC during its heyday, most notably on the March 14, 1987 show, which drew an 11.6 rating, which to this day remains the highest rating any show has ever done in that time slot.
That show was headlined by a battle royal featuring Hulk Hogan and André the Giant, who were slated to face each other at WrestleMania III.
As Hogan rarely wrestled on the WWF syndicated and cable television shows, Saturday Night's Main Event was the program on free television where most viewers were able to see him in action.
The success of Saturday Night's Main Event led to several Friday night prime time specials, known as The Main Event.
The first of these, on February 5, 1988 featured a WrestleMania III rematch between Hogan and André and drew 33 million viewers and a 15.2 rating, which is still the highest-rated television show in professional wrestling history.
This event was shown live.
The late night shows however were always taped 1–2 weeks prior to airing.

A trans woman (sometimes spelled as trans-woman or transwoman) is a male-to-female (MTF) transsexual or transgender person.
Many people in this group like the name trans woman over the many medical terms that are out there.
Other non-medical names are t-girl, tg-girl, and ts-girl.
Transgender woman, though, is the more common name.
Some people who are assigned male at birth later identify as women.
They feel that the gender they were assigned and the gender they actually are do not match.
Some trans women want to simply be called "women" rather than being called a "trans" woman, but this does not apply to all trans women.
Like trans men, trans women have many choices that they can make, depending on what culture they are in and what gender roles they, and the people who support them feel like they should have.
No case is the same, and the options that are there for trans women depend very much on if they have easy access to medical care and money.
Some trans women choose to have hair removed on their face, armpits and other parts of their body as well as train their voice so that it sounds more like a woman.
There are surgeries that can make trans women's faces look more female, but may not always be necessary, as some trans women have faces that do not look very male.
They are mainly to provide emotional benefits to patients so that they can see themselves changing or as a step in sexual reassignment surgery.
Some trans women who feel that their gender change is done, meaning that they have all the same physical characteristics of women who were assigned female at birth, want to just be called "women".
They think that the names "transwoman" or "male-to-female" should only be used for people who have not finished their change.
Some others do not feel that their gender ever changed and that they were always girls who were forced to live as boys.
Because of this many see it as important to include a space in the name, as in "trans woman", using "trans" as a word to talk about a particular type of woman, not a "third gender" as "transwoman" might imply.
Sexual interests
The story of the young boy who is very much like a young girl and grows up to live life as a woman has a very long history.
It is commonly, but wrongly, thought that all transgender and transsexual women are straight (attracted to males).
Many studies on this issue have been thought to be hurt by bias, since many transsexuals feel they must give the "right" answers to such questions to help their chances of being able to get hormone therapy.
35% of trans women are lesbians.
Some do not pay attention to trans women identifying as women and continue to view them as men, calling trans women who feel attracted to men "homosexual" and trans women that are attracted to women as "nonhomosexual".
This is sometimes seen as rude to the trans women that they are studying.
Sex drive
Disputes over sports eligibility
Some governing bodies for sports allow trans women to compete in female-only sports and some do not.
Opponents believe that growing up with a male body (usually larger and stronger) gives trans women unfair advantages.
Trans women have set women's records for sports that some biological women believe should not count.
High school athletes who have routinely lost to trans athletes have sued to have trans competitors excluded as unfair competition for scholarships designated for women.
The American Civil Liberties Union sides with the trans athletes.
Disputes over prisons
Trans women convicted of crimes often believe they are not safe in men's prisons.
Some women believe they are not safe in women's prisons if trans women are allowed there.

"Magnum crimen: pola vijeka klerikalizma u Hrvatskoj" (i.e. Major accusation: Half a century of clericalism in Croatia) is a book first published in Zagreb in 1948.
The book was written by a Croatian Roman Catholic priest, Dr. Viktor Novak (1889 - 1977), who was also a professor at Belgrade and Zagreb Universities, and the member of the Yugoslav Academy Science and Arts.
In this book, Novak wrote about (Roman Catholic) clericalism in Croatia from the beginning of the 20th century to the end of World War II.
Novak wrote that he spent more than 40 years collecting documents and books to write his book.
He started collecting this material during his secondary school days, continued it as a university student, and as a member of the Austrian Institute of History in Vienna, Austria, then as a university professor in Zagreb and Belgrade.
He worked on three books, of which Magnum crimen is the last, the first two parts of are the Magnum tempus and the Magnum sacerdos.
In 1941, after the destruction and occupation of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, Novak was forced to destroy all material he had collected.
He was in danger of being arrested and killed by the German occupying forces and their collaborators in Belgrade.
He was among the first ten people arrested in Belgrade by Germans, but managed to survive and continue work on this book after liberation of Belgrade in October 1944.
Observing the Roman Catholic Church activities in Yugoslavia for more than fifty years, the author concludes that this Church replaced the idea of service to God by service to the Roman Curia, i.e. service to the government of the Roman Pontificate in the role of the world leader.
As a result of this idea, in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the Roman Catholic Church identified the Roman Catholicism to the Croatian nationhood, which turned most of its priesthood into ardent Ustashe supporters.
Chapters I - XVIII
The book describes activities of the Roman Catholic clergy in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, including their intention and attempts to become above the state, to control the state and eventually everyday lives of the common people.
It has two  distinct parts.
The first part consists of fifteen chapters, covering the Roman Catholic clericalism from the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century in Austria-Hungary, then in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
The second part, the last four chapters, covers the rise and fall of the Independent State of Croatia, and the active support of the Roman Catholic Church clergy.
The main doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was that(a) the clergy shall be paid by the state as the state officials; (b) the state cannot have any control over the Church; (c) the Church has right to be fully involved in the political life of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia; (d) the Church doctrine/religious education shall be a part of primary and secondary school curricula; and that (e) the Roman Catholic Church curricula in the schools shall be obligatory to all pupils whose at least one parent is a Roman Catholic.
Josip Juraj Strossmayer's ideas, of which the most important one was - serving God equals to serving people, created close relations between Croats and Serbs by introducing the Old Slavonic language as the liturgy language of the Roman Catholic Church in the Balkans - were aggressively suppressed by the Roman Catholic clergy in Croatia and Slovenia.
The clergy put the Roman Curia in between the God and the people, demanding from the Roman Catholics ultimate obedience to the Roman Curia and unconditional love of the Roman Pope.
The clergy remaining faithful to the Strossmayer was marginalized, with the most ardent supporters excommunicated by the Zagreb archbishop.
Nevertheless, Strossmayer was embraced as a great Roman Catholic bishop by the same clergy - but his teaching was distorted or not mentioned ever.
The same destiny faced Franjo Rački, Ante Trumbić, and Stjepan Radić - three Croatian politicians advocating actively and fighting for the Yugoslavism - as a common denominator of togetherness and life among the Slavic people of the kingdom of Yugoslavia.
The Trumbić and Radić's struggle against centralism was interpreted as the Croatian and Slovene separatism support.
Novak demonstrated that even the anti-Croatian activities in the Italian Croatian and Slovene lands (as compensation for their aid in World War I) were not counteracted by the Croatian and Slovene Roman Catholic clergy in Yugoslavia.
Expulsion of the Croatian and Slovene clergy from these lands and their replacement by the Italians was received with silence and accepted without resistance or protest among their Catholic brethren in Yugoslavia.
Ante Pavelić's political activities in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the Ustashe terrorism, and the embracement of fascism were all supported by the Roman Catholic clergy.
Pavelić's nationalism identified Roman Catholicism to the Croatdom, which was actively supported and interpreted by the clergy.
The second part of this book is about the beginning of the Independent State of Croatia, the active support of the Roman Catholic clergy to this state, and their involvement and support in the extermination and/or forceful conversion of the Serbs and extermination of the Jews and the Roma people.
The book is full of testimonies and documents showing the active involvements of the Catholic clergy in supporting, organizing, and executing extermination of Serbs, Jews, and Roma people of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
One of the most bizarre events described was that Roman Catholic priests in the Jasenovac concentration camp working every day on the most gruesome ways to kill the camp inmates, while they went to chapel regularly each day to pray to God.
At the end of World War II, the Catholic clergy defended themselves, claiming their opposition to forceful conversion and extermination in some letters and instructions directed to the priesthood.
The book notes that these letters and directions were not public and not respected or followed.
In fact, an article from "Novi list"' argued that a Jew could not be save by converting to the Roman Catholicism.
Archbishop Aloysius Stepinac is portrayed in this book as an ardent Roman Catholic crusader who publicly endorsed the establishment of the Independent State of Croatia, acknowledged the Ustashe as Croatian patriots, defended her before the Roman Pope  and was responsible for the racist attitude and behavior of his clergy.
English language edition [2011]
This edition, except from being an English language translation of the 1948 edition, contains two new chapters - XIV.
Ecclesia militants at war with the ideology of Tyrš, and XV.
Libellus accusations, both omitted in the original version under the pressure of Josip Broz Tito's OZNA chief Maks Baće.
Chapter XIV is about the Sokol (Falcon) Society, founded in Prague in 1862 by Jindřich Fügner and Miroslav Tyrš.
The goal of the Sokol Society was to revive and enhance the national awareness and promote mental and physical health of the Czech people through sports and moral education.
The idea soon gained a pan-Slavic character, and Sokol organizations were later established in Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Poland, and Russia.
The Sokol movement had full support from Strossmayer, then Bishop of Đakovo.
After the dissolution of Austria-Hungary and the establishment of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes in 1918, and under the leadership of Lazar Car, Croatian Sokol societies were united with Serbian and Slovenian Sokol clubs into a large Sokol Alliance on 15 June 1919.
The separatism-prone Croatian clergy forced Croatian Sokols to leave the Yugoslav Sokol Alliance in 1919–20, fueling internal conflicts within the Alliance on political grounds.
At the same time, high Catholic clergy established the Orlovi (Eagles) clerical organization with the aim of taking youths away from the Alliance.
The Croatian Catholic Church rejected the pan-Slavic idea of bringing together Catholic, Orthodox, and Muslim believers under the motto that "a brother is dear regardless of his faith".
The two Catholic organizations, Orlovi (Eagles) and Katolička Akcija (Catholic Action) were a main base of this resistance to the idea of Yugoslavism, brotherhood and religious tolerance.
The Catholic Church's resistance to this idea of pan-Slavism led the Polish Sokols to abstain from the international All Sokol Rally held in Prague in 1926.
Chapter XV, titled Libellus Accusations, is about a few Croatian clergymen who were followers of Strossmayer's idea (namely, that to serve people means to serve God).
The most prominent among them was Frano Ivanišević, a national fighter and promoter of Old Slavonic Church language as the language of liturgy in the Croatian Catholic Church.
He demonstrated that a Catholic priest serving his people would not be against his Church and faith.
The book as an academic reference
Among scholars-historians this book is accepted as a serious academic reference and as such - cited and referenced a great number of times ,.
That way the book became a reference book in the libraries of many universities around the globe .
The earliest surveys of this book are the ones of Russian S. Troicky (as of the 1949 year - see the link) and of Swede O. Neumann.
Neumann stressed three things particular to this book: the role of V. Novak in spreading and defending the idea of Yugoslavism, abundance of the documentation used to support the book content, and that "Some passages have been written by a scholar in a dignified academic gown, in other parts of the book the author assumes the role of public prosecutor."
The abridged edition of this book published in 1960  is reviewed in the Istorijski glasnik  and the same review echoed in the Historical abstracts.
A number of short notes about this book can be found - scattered in the works related to this period of history.
Some are neutral  and some rejective and disapproving.
The most recent, 2011 English language edition, was published in two volumes, and includes two chapters which had been excluded from all earlier editions of this book, which, according to Serbian historian Vasilije Krestić, were censored upon the request of two Croatian communist leaders, Vladimir Bakarić and Maks Baće.
As reported by the Serbian daily Politika, the publication of the English language edition was financed by a schoolmate of Milorad Ekmečić; Ekmečić wrote the foreword to the edition.
According to the same article, the publication of the English translation was coincided with the Croatia's lawsuit against Serbia in front of the International Court of Justice, so that "the world would be informed about Ustashe crimes against Serbs during the Second World War".
The book has seven full editions  and one abridged.

It is a major tourist destination for its many Mughal-era buildings such as Tāj Mahal, Agra Fort and Fatehpūr Sikrī, all three of which are  UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Agra is on the Indo-Gangetic plain and has a continental climate, with long, hot summers from April to September.
During summers dry winds blow in this region.
The monsoon months from July to September see about 69 cm of rainfall annually.
Winters are from November to February.

Males consist of 53% of the population and females consist of 47% of the population.
11% of the population is under 6 years of age.
The main language used by the people in Agra is Hindi followed by English and Urdu.
Agra has a rich history, seen in the monuments around the city.
Though the heritage of Agra city is linked with the Mughal dynasty, many other rulers also contributed to the rich past of this city.
Modern Agra was founded by Sikandar Lodhi in the 16th century.
Babar (founder of the Mughal dynasty) also stayed for sometime in Agra and introduced the concept of square Persian-styled gardens here.
Emperor Akbar built the Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri near Agra.
Fatehpur Sikri remained its capital for around fifteen years after which the city was left isolated in mysterious circumstances.
Jahangir beautified Agra with palaces and gardens despite spending most of his time in Kashmir.
Agra‘s greatest time came when Shahjahan ascended to the throne of Mughal Empire.
He marked the greatest point of Mughal architecture.
He built the Taj Mahal in memory of his favourite wife Mumtaz Mahal.
In his later years, Shahjahan shifted his capital to the new city of Shahjahanabad(Delhi) and ruled from there.
Shahjahan was removed in 1658 by his son, Aurangzeb who kept him as prisoner in the Agra Fort.
Aurangzeb shifted the capital back to Agra before his death.
After the death of Aurangzeb, Mughal Empire could not reach its peak and many regional kingdoms emerged.
The post-Mughal era of Agra saw the rule of the Jats, Marathas and finally the British taking over the city.
After British Raj ended, Agra became part of independent India.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is the third video game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
It was made by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the Sega Mega Drive in 1994.
You can play as Sonic the Hedgehog or Miles "Tails" Prower, or both (Tails follows Sonic and does what Sonic does if you play this way).
Dr. Eggman is called Dr. Robotnik in the North American and European version of the game.
The game begins after what happened in the previous game, Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
In Sonic 2, Sonic and Tails defeated Dr. Eggman on his giant spaceship called the Death Egg.
It then exploded and landed on Angel Island, an island that floats in the air.
Knuckles lives on Angel Island.
He guards the Master Emerald, which is a big green gem that makes the island float.
Dr. Eggman knows that the Master Emerald is very powerful.
He wants to steal it, because he could fix the Death Egg with that power.
He tricks Knuckles and tells him that Sonic and Tails are thieves and they want to steal the Master Emerald.
Soon, Sonic and Tails arrive on Angel Island because they have seen that the Death Egg has fallen there.
However, Knuckles surprises them, and takes away the Chaos Emeralds Sonic and Tails have collected.
In Sonic 3, there are six Zones.
Every Zone has got two levels, which are named "acts" in the game.
At the end of every act 1, you've got to fight one of Dr. Eggman's robots, and at the end of every act 2, you've got to fight Dr. Eggman himself.
There are small robots called "Badniks" in the acts.
Most of them can be destroyed if you jump on them.
If the badnik is destroyed, a little animal jumps out of it.
Rings are floating in the air and they are gold.
If you collect 100 and 200 Rings, you get a life.
If you have no Rings and something hits you (for example, a badnik, spike, or Dr. Eggman), you lose a life.
There are also Starposts in the acts.
If you hit a Starpost, it will spin for a bit, and if you lose a life, you restart at the last Starpost you touched.
Starposts can be used to go to the Bonus Stage, if you touch them if you have 50 or more Rings.
