Bonus Power-ups:
Continue to kick the power-up pods for additional items.

Rotate title:
Press Down before the logo spins to rotate it in the opposite direction.

Playing tip:
Tap the D-pad to walk slower on the fifth stage, after the man sneaks away in the garbage can. Eventually, a pod that contains unlimited vitality will appear. If you proceed at regular speed or faster, it will never catch up to your character.

Hidden special move:
To perform a secret special move with either Gunstar Blue or Gunstar Red, press Back, Down/Back, Down, Down/Toward, Toward and press Attack. The character will perform a powerful standing slide.

Avoid damage:
Hold B + C and your character will put his hands over his face. No gun will hurt him when he gets hit.

Hint: Extra items:
When the robotic bird appears nearby to drop off guns or hearts, kick it and it will drop extra items. This works every time with every player. To kick it, jump once then press C while in the air.
