Secrets



You get these items by sucking up the target with Dust.

If you suck up the Wire or Balloon, it will not reappear in that
location until you get a game over. It is not recommended that you get
these until the Cossack stages.

If you want to suck up a boss, it must be the killing blow.

If you suck up Eddie, he will no longer appear to help you. A gray copy
Eddie (made by Wily?) will replace Eddie in the ending if you do this.

I
should probably make an entire page dedicated to the Result page. Oh
well. Anyway, for now, you get 5 points for keeping Eddie alive and 2
points for having the energy splitter. If you want a perfect score (96
points in this version), do not kill Eddie.
