Different diamond colors
Sent in by RanSei
To get the different diamond colors, the "colorized" enemies must
fall in certain parts of the screen. For example: an enemy that's
item falls on the extreme right of the screen has a good chance of
giving you a purple diamond, and one on the right should give you red.
Use this information to your advantage!
Character trick
Sent in by RanSei
The characters in world 8 look strange, but they appear throughout
the game. I noticed that when you "colorized" or killed an enemy in
one of the 7 main worlds, the little blob that spins (before it turns
into an item) is one of these creatures. (To get a good look, pause
the game when you kill an enemy.)
Level 70 and 80 bosses
Sent in by Tom V.
Face the wall and jump while shooting for the best attack. When
fighting the three ghosts, kill one of them and wait until the red
one is on your half of the screen before killing another. If you do
this right, using the wall strategy, the final giant red boss won't
have a chance to do anything to you before it dies!
Level select
When the Title Screen appears and the message "Press Start" is
flashing, press Left, B, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, B. The
message "World 1" will appear, and you can change the Level by
pressing A. You will not be able to get the best ending.
Gems tip
Collecting all of the gems in the correct order of color
(from left to right on the gem counter - Red, Orange,
Yellow, Green, Light Blue, Dark Blue, and Mauve)
not only awards you the life and Bonus Gem, it also grants
you access to a magical secret room. When you reach the end
of the level, a silver door appears. You don't have to fight the
Boss.
Skip from Level 5 to 7
On the fifth island you'll find a box in the secret room
which you should collect. There's also a gate with a '7' on
it, leading to Island 7
