Funny Names
Enter your name as "Sumner" or "Skorne" on the change name screen. If done correctly, you will hear a strange noise. After this, your name will change into something interesting like " Q#.@" which cannot even be entered, because there is no #, ., or @


Locations of the Legend Weapons
In order of when you get them:

(1)Scimitar of Rasha-The Caverns in the Mountain. Somewhere in the middle of the area, there is a route with a path to the right and a switch at the top, if you hit the switch, a rock will rise up leading you down to the sword, but in a hidden wall, a switch puts a rock in the lava river blocking you from thr Scimitar of Rasha. After you hit that switch trace back to the other switch which leads you to the Chimera killer.

(2)Ice Axe of Untar-The Castle Treasury. Near the beginning of the level, you can see the axe in plain sight on a tower, you have to hit countless switches for the tower to lower to get the Dragon slayer.

(3)Flame of Tarkana-The Town Spire. At the start of the twisty climb, shoot the wall to the right and a switch will appear, hit it and near the middle of the twisty climb, there is a fake wall that you can shoot. You will see the burning scroll behind a gate. Shoot the pile of sand to the right and hit the switch under it, it will make a wooden platform rise with a switch on it. Hit that, and another platform will rise. Then hit the switch on that platform, then go back to the Flame and the pile of sand to the left will be gone, revealing a switch. Hit the switch to get the Flame which will help you against the Yeti.

(4)Marker's Javelin. The Ice World's Fissure. Near the end of the level, you will see the javelin in a waterfall, but you need a space to walk on to get it. Go to near the middle of the level and you will find an ice block. Shoot the left end and hit the switch on the other side. Now go to the top of the ice block and hit the switch. Now claim your javelin and defeat the Plague.

(5)Skorne's Weakness. The Towers in the Battlefield. Near the beginning of the level you will see a hole in the top of the tower with a red disk inside. I'm not exactly sure how to get it, but hit a plethora of switches and eventually the platform which supports the disk rises and is yours to keep.


Permanent Anti-Death Halo
To receive an anti-death halo from Sumner (note: on your item menu it will only say one, even though it will last forever), you must defeat the second Skorne. To get to him, you must collect all 13 rune stones and beat every level. Once you do that, step into the complete circle of rune stones and a fire will appear. Soon you will be transported to the underworld. After you beat him you will recieve the halo.


Play as the Falconess
To get the secret character "The Falconess", which has the same turbo attacks as the valkyrie, go to the Bonus Stage in the Castle World. Get 50 of the coins there and then you can select "The Falconess" from the character select screen.


Play as the Jackal
Play through the second level of the ice world. At the end, on top of the pile of crates, there is a trapdoor at a dead end. The trapdoor is found by climbing the slanted crates to the top, then circle around until you get a chance to go back down. From there, climb the other set of slanted crates, located before the exit, and standing atop the traapdoor. Inside the door, collect 50 tokens to unlock "The Jackal", a more powerful form of the wizard.


Play as the Minotaur
In the forth mountain level, find every switch and the go to the area with the exit. Instead of going through the exit stand on the door with the skull on it. Inside the bonus round collect 50 coins. When time runs out you can now play as the Minotaur.


Play as the Summoner
Get all of the shards and beat the 1st Scorn. Let the doors open and go to the first area. When you get to the exit go to the left and follow the wall. You will find the gate. Get 50 Summoner coins in the area. It will be hard to see,because you only have a small light radius, just follow the path.


Play as the Tigress
You will have to go to the first town level. Find all the main switches and head to the portal. When you reach the portal backtrack a little bit till you reach a hill with a chest, a switch, and death on it. Avoid death and hit the switch. Head in the position the switch is pointing and you will be lead to some zombies and the trap door. Stand on the trap door and collect 50 coins to unlock tbe Tigress.


Projectitle attacks and weapon activated at once
NOTE: This only works with the supershot, thunder hammer, and any of SKORNES armor.(so you must defeat the FIRST Skorne and get 1 or all of his armor)

First, turn on either the super shot, thunder hammer, or 1 of Skorne's armor pieces. Next, turn on Skorne's helmet OR Skorne's acid gun. The weapon you turned on first will be deactivated, but will still appear on your character. You can keep doing this until your character has the supershot, thunder hammer, and all of skornes armor, but still will shoot normal attacks


Prolong "time stop" and "shrink" effects
When you are about to die activate "time stop" or "shrink". After you die continue and go to the level you want. This code will not deactivate until you turn the "time stop" or "shrink" on again or you quit.


Same player on Multi-player
You will need a memory card to do this trick. first save the character you wish to have, load the game and give the other player the same memmory card. Have them load the same game on Multi-player, then you will both have the same character with the same money, same strength, and EXP.


Super rapid-fire trick
Find an enemy. Walk up to him, and attack him by walking into him. Right after you start attacking him, hold Z. Then turn around and start walking. If done correctly, you will be walking very slow and firing very fast. This is good for killing large groups of guys without magic or turbo (this doesn't even use turbo!).

Try doing this around generators. Sometimes, when you are walking slowly around like that, if you watch a generator, you will see that the guys are hit by you right after they come out, even though you are not aiming at them. I have gotten this to happen to me with 3 generators at once. I watched my experience screen, and could hear and see 3 distinct rhythmatic hits every second or so. Very good for quick leveling up.

Also try doing this on scorpions or other small creatures. Then you get to walk around very slowly kicking air. Very odd.


Turn Death into something good
Before you open a beral or chest that you know Death is in,use a potion next to the barel. If you hear Death scream open the barel and there will be something good inside! NOTE: This does not work if death is a statue


Turn Poison Apples to Good Apples
If you find one of those evil poison granny smith apples you can turn it into a regular apple by using a potion. Just throw it down and make sure it's within the blast radius. This is good if you need the health and have an extra potion or two.


Weapon Upgrade
Upgrade your character to level 10 and your character's weapon will grow in size and do much more damage. This also works at levels 75 and 99.
