Secret Message

Hold Select and press Reset. Continue holding Select at the initial copyright screen and quickly press A, B, Up, Down, Left, Right, A, B (this must be entered within the first five seconds the screen is displayed).

The same cheat is present in another Imagineering game, Barbie.

Level Editor Leftovers

The second stage levels ("Cave" and "Ice") have a small leftover from the development stage Level Editor. Using the D-Pad on controller 2, you can change the position of one of the level's static sprite objects; specifically, the object with index 1 in the static objects array. In the "Cave" level, this would be the stalactite on the ceiling near the exit of the level. In the "Ice" level, this would be one of the floating ice platforms.
