Mushroom Mission Trick On the 3rd chapter, one of the missions you'll be asked to complete is the old woman's mushroom gathering hunt. To receive the entry pass for this mission, you must gather a total of 30 mushrooms from either Tomb Pass or Maneater Road; that means getting every single one on the stage without dying in a very stict time limit. Use this trick to guarantee you get 30 mushrooms--kill yourself until you're on your last life. Then go collect mushrooms in one of the 2 stages. Die once more, and select CONTINUE from the Game Over screen. You'll be back on the world map. Now enter the OTHER stage. All of the mushrooms you collected from the first stage will still be there, and you can easily complete your collection and return to the old woman for the pass. (Thanks to ALMEHDA@aol.com)

Safe Spot When Fighting the 3rd Castle Boss There is nothing more frustrating than fighting your way through an ultra-tough castle only to be pounded by the boss, forcing you to start over. The 3rd castle boss has a number of attacks, but you can help your situation by pressing against the far right wall. In this position, you cannot be hurt by his club swing attack, allowing you to concentrate on avoiding the other attacks and saving much-needed energy. (Thanks to ALMEHDA@aol.com)
