* The game starts in the middle of a four-way intersection. Going forwards and
back does not lead further in the game. Move Left or Right to move to
another level inside the castle. Once past the staircases, moving either
Left or Right will eventually take you in a circle around the castle.
* In this circular area, there are two intersections that will allow you to go
down. Going Down returns you to the staircases which will lead to the four
way intersection at the begining. Three intersections will allow you to
forward by pressing Up. They are Vivi's Funeral Salon, Moose (The Stairway).
and The Garden.
* These three areas have hidden secrets that must be completed correctly on
the first try. If you fail, you must start over:
+ Vivi's Funeral Salon: When Vivi asks if you want a "shave" or
"something else", look at Lance's face carefully. One of his eyes will
shift. This clue will reveal the correct move, which is to the Right.
To finish this section, get the manicure, then the facial. The final
move has a hidden secret. In the final move, Lance is sitting in the
chair when Vivi activates her remote control. Instead of pressing Left,
press B and figure out the remaining moves to successfully defeat Vivi
for good.
+ Moose (The Stairway): When Fritz pulls the ropes that bring you to the
top, the ending moves are Left, Left. Instead move Left, Right and
figure out the moves to defeat the sports player and escape Fritz.
+ The Garden: When you swing to the ledge of the statue, go right to
avoid the statue's poison. After that instead of going Up, go Right and
figure out the moves to defeat the statue. If this is done
successfully, the statue will toss you back to the castle unharmed. To
get through the maze, move Right, Up, Up, Left, Left, Down, Down,
Right, Right, Up, Up.
* Move Left or Right when crossing the bridge. Both directions must eventually
be crossed. You will end up at an intersection. Move in the direction that
Lance is running. After Lance climbs the ladder, go Up to avoid the cat's
attack. When the witch approaches, move in the direction Lance is facing.
* When Lance gets to the tunnel go Down. When Lance takes the eyeball, leave
the room. You will end up in that tunnel again. This time, go Up. After
defeating the first witch, you will be in a four-way tunnel. Go Up and
follow these same instructions in reverse for the evil twin witch.
* After defeating the second evil twin witch, you will be in the four-way
tunnel again. Go Up. When crossing the bridge towards the location of either
witch, an elevator will appear. Go Up.
* Pick up the sword and fight your way up the stairs. Enter the room at the
top of the stairs to face Dr. Nerosis. You can move Left or Right, or just
waste time. To finish the game, go Left, Right and try to learn the moves
(timing is critical ). If successful, Dr. Nerosis will finally be defeated.
To leave the castle before it explodes, press any button or move in any
direction.
