Hard - Stage 1

Stage 1-1

It should be noted that the locations of the bonus areas are the same as they were on Easy, so if you knew where they were then, you'll know where they are from here on out.

By starting with the password we got at the end of Stage 5-3 on Easy, we're able to start the game on Hard with all of our stats from Easy. 

Hawks will show up from the upper-left corner and divebomb at you. If you defeat them, they will drop skulls. In the harder difficulties, they will lower your stats, so avoid the skulls at all costs.

Stage 1-2

The flying demon heads will leave skulls when defeated, and they also shoot fireballs at your current position as they loop around in a small circle. Sometimes it's better to leave them alone.

Stage 1-3

Since we have much better stats compared to Easy, we can tear the boss here apart.

The little white bird that dips up and down as it flies forward shows up here. They will show up in greater numbers later on, and they can be tough to defeat.
