World 2-3

Map (by Rick Bruns)

The thorns in the ground will hurt you; try not to fall into them.

In the middle of the level, you'll need to watch out for the lava.

The upgrades from the training rooms where you have to shoot down the tiles do not work in the labyrinths.

If you wait long enough after buying something in a regular store (not a black market), you can buy something again. Also, if you press A and B at the same time on Controller 2 in the stores, you can lower the prices, but there is a 20% chance that the shopkeeper will raise the prices instead.

Near the end of the level where all the tombstones pop up, a gaggle of upgrade thieves will jump around. Tread carefully so they don't steal your stuff.

If you can get 204,200 points, you'll get a fifth bar of health. This is the most health you can get in the game. If you can get 227,700 points, you can get the fourth strength arrow, the Gold Arrow, in the sacred chamber.

World 2-4

Map (by Rich Bruns)

The floating circle enemies with the one eye fly back and forth and take one hit to kill. The blue ones will drop five hearts each, while the red ones drop ten each.

The red mushroom enemies will take a quite a few hits before they go down.

You'll have to face off against the Eggplant Wizards before you make it to the boss, whether you like it or not. There are two hospitals in this labyrinth: one in the lower-left corner and one in the upper-right corner.

The boss here is Hewdraw. Hewdraw will bounce around the room, and you'll need to avoid him while hitting him in the head and also stay out of the lava. It will take a while, but Hewdraw can be beaten.
