The Step Counter is an interface element in the video game Flower, Sun, and Rain: Murder and Mystery in Paradise. From the beginning of the game, it measures the amount of steps taken by protagonist Sumio Mondo. Reaching certain increments entails rewards such as improving the X Search System, and allowing Mondo to dash and change costumes. The last of these rewards comes with taking 510,000 steps (a reference to director Goichi Suda's nickname, Suda 51), and maximizing it completely is not believed to produce any effect. While Flower, Sun, and Rain can generally be completed within 20–30,000 steps, the Step Counter is able to measure 99,999,999 steps, and filling it would require nearly 1,000 hours of uninterrupted walking on Lospass Island.
