Extra lives

Sent in by Tom V. at The Unofficial World of Nintendo!!! You can collect the 1up in stage 5-3 as many times as you want by climbing back down the ladder to a lower level and climbing back up. All the power-ups, 1up included, will return for you to collect again.

Stage 4 boss tip

Sent in by Tom V. Stage 4 Boss: You can destroy one of the dogs with a single throwing star so you can concentrate on fighting the one that can actually be hurt.

Stop enemies from returning

Sent in by Tom V. If enemies keep returning just after you kill them (like the bird at the final jump in stage 5-2), you need to move forward a little farther to stop them.

Last boss tip

Sent in by Tom V. at The Unofficial World of Nintendo!!! Final Boss Trio: Attack the red nose in the middle of the screen, not your father who attacks you. Against Jaquio, without a weapon besides your sword, you need to run in the opposite direction that he does to avoid his fire, then jump at him as he's moving away. If you attack as he approaches, he will hit you. Against the demon statue, you need to attack its head and tail so you can get at the heart, while dodging the stuff it throws at you.

Enemy tips

Sent in by Greg Smeck When going into the last enemies make sure you have the Art of Fire, and lots of it. This works very well against the orb that controls your father, and the enemy after that. The best weapon to have going into fight the demon is the windmill star. One hit takes his head off, then just unload on his unprotected stomach. make sure you have plenty of windmill stars though. I personally won't go in with less than 60. It's a breeze when you get the hang of it. Secondly, when you fight Malth at the end of level 5, it helps greatly to have a controller with turbo, like the Advantage. go up to him right away and just start hacking away, he'll run out of life before you do. Thirdly, if you have to make a jump with an enemy waiting on the other side, move up slightly and slowly. The enemy will move off the screen and not be there when you go to make the jump.
