Shiny Gems are small geometric objects that resemble diamonds. They have a bright yellow color that contrasts with the dark background of the game. They emit a soft glow and a sparkling effect that makes them more noticeable and appealing. They are a reward for completing levels or binary quizzes in DATA WING, but they have no in-game use. They are part of the game’s aesthetic and story.

The Shiny Gems were created by Mother, the mainframe that controls the game world. She gives them to the DATA WINGs as a reward for completing levels or binary quizzes. However, the Shiny Gems can also change depending on the story events. For example, when you unlock The Prism, the Shiny Gems counter goes up very high. When you try to complete the Codex Binary Quiz, you lose some gems. Reading the last RealTalk™ Module will cause you to lose 100 gems. The Shiny Gems are part of Mother’s plan to manipulate the DATA WINGs and hide the truth about The User and the system.

According to someone who knows the developer of DATA WING, the Shiny Gems were created as a satirical point about the worthlessness of made-up currency in games. They were meant to mock the common practice of using gems or coins as rewards or incentives in mobile games, but without giving them any actual value or purpose. They were also used as a plot device to show Mother’s manipulation and deception of the DATA WINGs

A RealTalk™ module is a hidden star in the background of some levels in DATA WING game that you can tap to hear Mother’s pre-recorded wisdom about various topics, such as kittens, humans, and religion. 

They are meant to provide you with some insight into Mother’s personality and motivations.

Some players find them amusing, while others find them annoying or creepy.

There are lots of RealTalk™ modules in the game, and they are unlocked by completing the level Patterns. 

A UserData note is a collectible item in DATA WING, a racing game with a story.

It contains some information about the characters or the world of the game that Mother, the main antagonist, does not want you to find. 

There are four UserData notes in the game, and they can be found in most levels.

You don’t need to complete a mission to get the user data files. 

It’s not clear, but just picking it up is enough, even if you quit the level after that.
