Better ending
Do not fall off the pillars on Level 3 Pick up the key that is located near the chamber of the headless knight This key must be used on Level 4 to free Maria and open the path to the alternate Mission 5b
Note The codes for Missions 6b and 7b follow this better ending path
Extra lives
A bonus life is awarded at the end of each level that is completed without your character getting any damage
Fighting tip
Duck when your character is hit while fighting any enemy to avoid being thrown back into a pit or other object This will not work if a whip is being used or when on a spinning gear clock tower This is very useful when fighting Dracula when he uses his huge double fire ball attacks
