Effects in this game can also ''block'' stages of the Knockout Track. This signifies that no amount of napping or coffee can unburden a creature of the blocked stages — the penalties remain so long as the creature continues to be subjected to the effect. When the creature is freed from the detrimental circumstances, the penalties vanish.
