| abstract | - Amaterasu cannot use them until she tosses a Mermaid Coin into them. Her first Mermaid coin is obtained in Sasa Sanctuary from Mr. Bamboo after she battles Gi. After this, Mermaid Coins are available for sale from merchants or can be found in treasure chests. However, after Amaterasu obtains Fountain, she can teleport between Mermaid Springs without using a Mermaid Coin. An alternative method of teleportation is the use of Mist Warp on Ultimate Origin Mirrors. These are generally favorable over Mermaid springs since there are far more Ultimate Origin Mirrors than there are springs, and the mirrors allow travel to be quicker and strategic. There are, however, some places that only the springs can reach, so they do have some use (the top of Catcall Tower, Sei'an City, etc.). They are also the best means of transportation before obtaining the Fog Pot required for Mist Warp. Mermaid Springs are absent in Ĺkamiden and as such, can not be used for warping. Instead they appear to be normal springs or ponds without the characteristic green light. Despite this and the inability to use Mist Warp, Chibiterasu can still warp between areas and through time via Ultimate Origin Mirrors by using Kagu's Charm.
