Getting High Scores

If you do not like your score, reset and try again. The bonus moves and armor you unlock depend on your high scores when you complete the eight stages.

Fewer Enemies
At the start of the game, when you have the first four missions to complete, try the Pheonix mission. If you finish the Phoenix mission there will be fewer enemies in the other three missions.

Hidden Elfs and Secret Areas

Hidden area #1
Enter the Phoenixs stage and continue until you see a blue ceiling and a pink ledge to walk on, right after hopping across 4 lava pits and the floating explosives. Equip your chain rod and get a mine to position itself between you and the ceiling. Shoot the chain rod upward and if you hit the right spot you will reveal a hidden area.
Hidden area #2
Enter Phoenixs stage and continue until you encounter floating mines with spiked walls and more lava pits. Use the mines to wipe out the spikes and hop to the next ledge. Jump over the ladder and stop at the corner of that ledge. Wait for a mine to appear and use your saber to hit the mine and blow up the blue side wall.
Secret area #3
*Follow #2
You will be out of the maze when you are on a pipe with a blue block underneath. 2 things:
1. You went too far. Use a mine to hit a pipe on the floor. Slide down the wall to find another hidden Cyber-Elf.
2. Look for a gap under the pipe, blow up the pipe over the gap and plummet down. Equip the lightning chip. If you are on hard mode use your shield. Charge your weapon and attack the mechaniloid. Continue right to find another hidden area!
