Candy (also known as the Gumdrop or Round Drop) is one of the recurring items in the Mana series. It is the most basic healing item in the game, restoring a small amount of HP to a single character. It could be said to be the Mana series' equivalent of the Final Fantasy series' Potion and the Dragon Quest series' Medicinal Herb.
