One of the three menus.
The following entails the contents of the main menus of Final Fantasy Adventure. There are three types of menu screens. The screen shown below the world screen, the screen the player open with the Start button, and the screen the player open with the Select button.
Menu Screen 1
World Screen
The World Screen.
Beneath the World Screen, a smaller screen is visible at all times, as in the picture. The player should always keep an eye on this screen even during battle. Should the player's HP run low, an unexpected blow may be fatal and end the game unless they heal themselves quickly with an item or magic spell. Also remember that an especially powerful attack is possible when the gauge at the bottom of the screen read Max.
- HP: The HP figure shows how much life Sumo has at the moment. Game over when his HP drops to 0.
- MP: The MP indicates how much magic power Sumo has. When his MP drops to 0, no magic can be used.
- Attack Gauge: When this gauge reads full, Sumo can use Max Attack.
- G: G is short for GP which is the monetary unit in this world.

The Item Menu.
All items currently in the player's possession will be displayed on the screen. The player can change, and discard items on this screen. The player can have up to 16 items in their inventory.
Magic

Further, once the player turns the power off or save a game, the rooms the player have already visited will disappear from the map.
Status

The Status Screen allows the player to make comprehensive evaluation of Sumo's status. It is especially useful to know how much more experience points the player need in order to advance to the next level.
