    Shiro and the Enchanted Coal Village

    In Shin-Chan: Shiro And The Coal Town, you begin in a charming village that eventually leads you to the enigmatic Coal Town. This mining community is populated with entertaining characters, but its technology is a fascinating blend of vintage and modern innovations.

    Most of the inventions in Coal Town come from a brilliant inventor named Yuri. Her quirky yet amazing creations make everyday life better for the townspeople. When you first encounter her, she’s busy working on a new invention but finds herself lacking some crucial materials—this is where you come in to lend a hand.

    To kick off the first main mission, you need to have advanced the story enough to access Coal Town and completed your first Cooking Challenge for the Back Alley Man, where you had Yosoi prepare Grilled Masu Salmon.

    As you follow Sumi into the laboratory, Yuri will present you with your first Invention Challenge and a list of materials she needs to make her invention:

    • Five Violet Coalite Fragments.
    • One Vacuum Tube.
    • Three Iron Ore.

    At this stage in the game, your best bet to collect these materials is by exploring Coal Town itself.

    Tip: You can refresh where materials spawn by moving to a different area and then returning to the previous location.

    When you enter a new screen, you may find various materials appearing as sparkling spots in different areas, much like the wild vegetables and bugs in Unbent Village. This is where you can gather Violet Coalite Fragments and Iron Ore.

    Finding the Materials

    For Vacuum Tubes, this part of the mission also introduces Shiro’s Discoveries, which can help sniff out these items at several locations, including:

    • In Front of the Main Staircase
    • Coal Town West Street
    • In Front of Coal Town Station

    You should be able to find both Violet Coalite Fragments and Iron Ore in the same spots where Vacuum Tubes may appear, as well as at the Vacant Lot, Back Alley, and Rooftop Road.

    Note: Typically, you will find between one and three of either material at these locations. You may need to visit multiple spots to gather enough.

    After collecting everything you need, head back to Yuri in the laboratory. Once you chat with her, you’ll put the materials into her machine, resulting in the creation of an item called the Street TV That’s Also A Street Lamp.

    Finally, take this invention to In Front Of The Main Elevator to complete your first invention challenge. While you won’t receive any tangible reward for this, you will progress in the main story.

    Even though you’re just five years old in Shin-Chan: Shiro And The Coal Town, there’s plenty to keep you busy. You can chat with various characters, take on missions, explore different areas, and relive the fun of childhood by catching bugs. You’ll find a wide array of insects, such as beetles and butterflies, that serve a purpose beyond mere decoration.

    To fulfill certain sub-missions or achievements, you’ll need to collect various bugs. Many insects will be needed for trading on bulletin boards, so it’s wise to keep a good supply in your inventory. However, you’ll need to venture out and explore to gather them all.

    Insect Locations


    A total of 44 different insects can be discovered throughout the game, most of which are found in Unbent Village.

    Your ability to record them in the Nature Compendium becomes available after you finish the main quest titled The Young Lady And Her Book and acquire the compendium itself.

    Every time you manage to get Kazuko to include a new insect, you’ll earn a small amount of Yen, and you can continue to receive rewards until all 44 entries are logged in the book.

    After completing the main quest, Public Bath Is Ready, and letting a few days pass, you’ll notice that four new types of insects will start appearing in Coal Town in various spots.

    You’ll initially find only a few insects, but as you finish different sub-missions, more areas of the village will unlock, allowing you to catch additional bugs, some of which will now be found in new locations.

    Occasionally, you might capture bugs labeled as King Size, which signifies that they’re the largest version of that insect. These larger insects appear at random when you catch one and are not limited to specific locations; you also don’t need a special method to catch them.

    The King Size Hunter achievement includes both fish and insects and does not require you to specifically seek out only the King Size insects.

    The King Size designation is important for one of Ace’s sub-missions where you’ll need to catch and deliver any ten of these larger insects, along with achieving the King Size Hunter milestone.

    When you arrive in Coal Town in Shin-Chan: Shiro And The Coal Town, you’ll discover an exciting new environment filled with opportunities. You’ll encounter various characters, embark on new missions, and collect a range of materials, including several minerals.

    These minerals are essential for completing your Invention Challenges, and they can also be used in side missions or exchanged for items you might find more useful, like scrap parts. Additionally, some minerals serve as materials for trolley parts. There are twelve minerals in total, and every one of them is necessary to finish the game.

    Where to Find All Minerals

    You’ll primarily find 12 different minerals in Coal Town once you access the area. Like wild vegetables, these minerals often appear as sparkling spots while you explore. If you’re lucky, Shiro may spot some of them when you enter a new area, but it’s generally more effective to search for them on your own until you unlock the Sundries Shop and Coal Town’s Bulletin Board.

    • The Sundries Shop opens during the main mission titled Another Great Invention.
    • The Bulletin Board becomes available after completing the mission The Strange Masked Man.

    Additionally, finishing specific main missions will also unlock new minerals for purchase from the Sundries Shop:

    • Completing the Public Bath Is Ready mission unlocks Olivine, Agate, Quartz, Tourmaline, and Jade for sale.

    You can only purchase three of each mineral each day at the Sundries Shop, but rest assured that the stock will refresh the following day. Additionally, winning big in the Trolley Race Courses can net you a good number of minerals, especially the rarer and more valuable ones like Tourmaline and Jade.

    After you’ve advanced further in the game and completed the main mission Thank You Boiling Much, you can also find some minerals in Unbent Village, although only four types: Placer Gold, Raw Copper, Agate, and Quartz.

    Below is a list of the minerals, where to find them, and their purchase prices:

    Mineral Areas Found Purchase Price
    Violet Coalite Fragment In Front Of Laboratory, Coal Town West Street, Coal Town East Street, Back Alley, Vacant Lot, In Front Of Main Staircase N/A

    In Shin-Chan: Shiro And The Coal Town, aside from the regular story missions, you’ll occasionally come across special tasks as you interact with various characters in Coal Town. These unique tasks, called Invention Challenges, involve assisting Yuri in creating new inventions that will benefit the community.

    These inventions might be a bit quirky or unusual, yet they provide solutions to specific problems. However, they don’t just magically appear; each invention requires particular materials to be crafted.
