When you collect a certain amount of coins in each level the mushroom house appears. I don't know what the anchor in the even levels does. I've used it and nothing happened, I came back to the spot later and explored and for the life of me I have no clue what it's good for. I'm guessing that if you get a game over then you can start at where you used the anchor but never tested this theory..if you've getting the mushroom houes you probably wouldn't need that sort of help anyways right? So what does it do?

The anchor will stop the airships from moving automatically (the auto-scroll). It's probably the most useful in 5-Airship, but even there it's largely unnecessary. I never really use it, waste of an inventory item.

The airships will always auto-scroll. The anchor keeps the ships from moving on the map screen if you die in the airship stage.

Now that that question has been answered, this topic needs a poll.
"Which color anchor do you like better: Silver or brown?"

Silver, of course. Who in the world would have a wooden anchor instead of a steel one?

And this proves that I have never actually used the anchor. :).

That was a joke.

Then it would be a reddish anchor.

Bird Person: is that the rival from Silver Version or something? And even if it is (or isn't), isn't that a bit of a tangent?
