In the Japanese version of ''MediEvil'', [[Sir Daniel Fortesque|Dan]] begins the game with the helmet equipped. It can be removed by selecting it in the inventory and equipped again by selecting it once it has been removed. It only serves as a cosmetic item and wearing it doesn't provide any bonuses. Dan also wears the helmet in all the loading screens and full motion videos until he loses it in the endings. | In the Japanese version of ''MediEvil'', [[Sir Daniel Fortesque|Dan]] begins the game with the helmet equipped.
