Keep money after losing:
Start a two player game. When either player is very low on energy, move both players to the edge of the screen. Intentionally kill the player that is almost dead, then immediately jump into the next screen. The dead player will be present with all money intact, but one less life.
Merlin's Mystery Shop:
Stand under the fourth light from the left side in the Armstrong Thru-Way Tunnel. Press Up to find Merlin's Mystery Shop, which sells several powerful, but expensive items.
Rename character:
Press A + B + Select at the one/two player selection screen to rename Ryan or Alex to the name of your choice. Note: When you are at the select players menu at the very start of the game, just press Select.
