* There is 3 mode of play (depending of the subtitle on the titlescreen) :
Copper title Mode = Normal
Silver title Mode = Hard
Gold title Mode = Very Hard
The ending is changed by Crystal Level at the end of final stage. 'Copper' is bad ending, 'Silver' normal ending and 'Gold' good ending.

* Hidden Character : At the character select screen, place the cursor over Lustro Furia and hold up for a second or 2 until the card flips over to reveal an extra version of the character.
