Quick text: Press R to skip to the end of the text displays.
Ninety-nine continues: Begin a game on easy difficulty, then press Reset. Return
to the Options menu and select any difficulty level to begin another game
with 99 continues.
Instant experience: Enable the 99 Continues code, then press Reset during game
play. The Experience menu will appear at the cost of one continue.
Hidden arena: The arena is accessible in stages 3, 5, and 12 in story mode.
Kill all the enemies on those stages (including the hidden plants and
dysfunctional robot on stage 3). Then, move to the back of the screen (the
third row) and stand in front of the wooden sign. Your character will be
transported to the arena where multiple battles can be fought for
experience.
Keep the Firesword: Enable the "Debug" code. Start the game and pick Han,
then play until you encounter the first robot. Hold R and press Start
to skip to the next scene. Your character will have the Firesword and the
undead hero will be with you.
Mystic Roper: On the tenth level, Town of Traitors, defeat all enemies until
you reach the end of the level. After the last enemy falls, set the Undead
Hero to go Berzerk (the last command on the menu). He will then begin to run
back towards the beginning of the level. Follow him until he reaches a white
roper (Mystic Roper), which you can attack and kill.
