Infinite Lives

Either play the game until Level 15 or use the Level Select cheat to reach it. Kill a single Pooka so your score reads 200 points (don't kill any Fygars, they give 400 points!). Lose all of your lives and at the game over screen, press B on Controller 2 and A on Controller 1 at the same time. Now start your game again and your lives will read "HERANAI" ("won't go down").
