About Gauges

In the "Extras" menu, there is a setup for Gauges. When you earn these in the game, you can equip them (one at a time only). They will grant you special effects. Beating the game with a certain two of them will even give you achievements. It is noted in the descriptions which ones they are. Gaining all 9 of them will also unlock an achievement. Also, getting the final gauge will allow you to much easier complete the game on Hard Mode and obtain all S ranks.
