Bits

Bits are collectible items found in Spark the Electric Jester and Spark the Electric Jester 2. They are the series' main collectable.

Spark the Electric Jester
In Spark 1, Bits can seem like they're there for merely collection's sake. However, eagle-eyed players may notice a small, yellow bar above the health bar. It fills up slightly with every Bit collected, and if the player collects enough to fill the bar, whenever Spark or Fark die, they will automatically be revived with full health (They won't be revived if they die by crushing, however). However, if they fall when the bar isn't filled, they will respawn at the last checkpoint, with the revival bar empty.

Spark the Electric Jester 2
In Spark 2, Bits act as both currency and as miniscule health pickups. Obtaining at least three will regenerate some health, though the amount is not very large at all without the collection of more bits. Their main use remains outside of the stages however, as they are used for the purchase of several items in the shop, mainly Jester Powers for 100 bits each and a random piece of art for 250 bits. They also increase the player's score by 100 points (more if a score multiplier is in effect).
