MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
■ CONTROL IDIOSYNCRASIES
RUN ADVANCE DELAY RUNNING SHOT DELAY WEAPON SWITCH DELAY
If you move past the center of the screen in stages one or two, you will be unable to run forward until you are pushed back to the center. You can still jump or slide to advance. If you fire a shot while running and then shift to the up or down directions, you will continue running forward for a few steps. Doing the slide command during this time will result in a jump. If your current weapon's shot or explosion are visible on the screen, you cannot switch to another weapon until they are despawned. This affects grenades and the bazooka more noticably.

■ ELEVATOR MANIPULATION

Normally, when you make a selection on the elevator screen, the odds of skipping or activating the extra stage are 50/50. However, there are two methods of bypassing the randomization sequence, allowing you to select either option manually.

● To always skip the extra stage, hold "A" as the elevator screen appears.

● To always activate extra the stage, wait for the elevator screen to time out.

■ FINAL STAGE PATTERNS
The boss room has four possible layout variations, one of which will be randomly preselected. Unlike with the elevator screen, there doesn't appear to be any way of affecting the result.
