Defeated enemies usually leave treasure chests. Some treasures unlock tools or effects: miner axe breaks mountains into hills, cannon blasts mountains from boats, anchor comes from cave pirates doesnt do anything yet!, speed boots stack temporary speed, mushroom treasure scrambles the whole color palette, and rainbow charm or touching a rainbow restores it. Enemies all have little jobs.

Town villagers have village-specific behavior and can become portrait encounters too.

Keep walking and the map keeps changing.
