Beyond essential items, Resident Evil 3 features collectibles that offer rewards. Mr. Charlie dolls (20 total) unlock achievements and points for the in-game shop. The Shop, accessible after completing the game, allows you to spend these points on powerful weapons (e.g., Infinite Rocket Launcher), costumes, and gameplay modifiers (e.g., Iron Defense, Assault Coin). These shop items can significantly alter subsequent playthroughs, making higher difficulties more manageable or simply more fun. Collecting all files also contributes to lore and achievements.
