HELP!!  If you know where some of the 'missing' secret bonuses are, let
        me know so I can add them to the FAQ!!

Table of contents
=================
   1. Level Select Code
   2. Secret Bonuses (unfinished)
   3. BGM CD information (needed)


1. Level Select Code
====================
This code allows you to start playing at any level in the game (there
are 9).  At the title screen, press start.  With 'Start Game' 
highlighted, press C-A-Left-Right-B.  If you do it right, you'll hear
'Yay!'.  Press Start again to select the starting level.


2. Secret Bonuses 
=================
As mentioned in the manual, all these do is give you bonus points.  
Still, it's fun to get them, as some require work to get!

This list gives the level number, name, and how to get the Secret
Bonus(es), if the level has any (not all do).

NOTE: If there are ?????, it means I do not know if that level has a
      secret bonus.

1   The Getaway           Destroy the large, red robot.

Total Bonuses for Level 1: 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
2-1 Practice Area         
    Bonus 1: Meet Headcase - Kill all the enemies without dying. 
    Bonus 2: Meet Hangman  - Make it to the top without dying. 
    Bonus 3: Meet Beau     - Kill all the enemies before time runs out. 

2-2 Toys N The Hood
    Bonus 1 - Knock the one-eyed enemy off the platform using Slammer 
              Head.  You can see how this is done by watching the 
              game 'attract mode'.
    Bonus 2 - You'll come to a point where Headcase is in a cage with a 
      and 3   shepherd and donkey, and a robot on top.  After you knock 
              the cage to the right, fight the robot, and defeat it, 
              everything in the cage will jump out to the center of the 
              screen.  Destroy the shepherd and donkey, you get a 
              SB for each.
    Bonus 4 - After the cage battle and trekking through some passages,
              you will meet Headcase again.  Moving a little to the
              right, you see a sign indicating you can go up or right.
              Go back to Headcase, get the Spiked head, and go up.  Once
              at the top, you will fight a dragon headed serpent.  Kill
              it for a SB.

2-3 Mad Dog And Headdy    
    Bonus   - If you wait long enough (the timing is random) Mad Dog 
              will come down, facing right, carrying Bino in his mouth.
              Mad Dog will drop Bino, destroy Bino for a SB.

Total Bonuses for Level 2: 8

    None

3-2 Backstage Battle      
    Bonus   - While holding you, Trouble Bruin will throw sets of three
              cats to attack you.  He may throw out a bluish-green cat 
              with a larger head.  Destroy it for a SB.

3-3 The Green Room        
    None

3-4 Clothes Encounters    
    Bonus   - After knocking the clothes off the mannequin for the third
              time, the mannequin may appear on screen wearing a Bino mask.
              Hit the mask for a SB.  This may occur up to three times
              (if you can last that long!)

Total Bonuses for Level 3: 4
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
4-1 Terminate Her Too
    Bonus   - About 1/3 of the way through the level you will encounter a
              tank shooting cannonballs to the left.  Every third 
              cannonball bounces out of the cannon instead of going across 
              the screen.  If you can knock this one into the front of the
              tank and cause it to explode, you get a SB.

4-2 Mad Mechs
    Bonus   - Open 4 or 5 of the Slammer Head doors (these have a picture
              of a hammer on them) and get a SB.

4-3 Mad Mechs 2
    Bonus   - Destroy the two fans and receive a SB for each.

4-4 Heathernapped
    Bonus   - After a short delay, Bino will come down and wash the windows.
              Hit Bino 17 times to knock him off the platform and
              receive a SB.

7   Headdy Wonderland     
    Bonus 1 - One of the black cows to the right of Headcase will 'neigh'
              like a horse instead of moo when Headdy jumps on the cow's 
              back.  Destroy the cow to get a SB.
    Bonus 2 - The sixth column from the start of the level has four yellow
              birds perched on the platform.  If you look closely, the one
              on the left is Bino.  Destroy him for a SB.  NOTE: If Bino
              flys away, he will not appear again, unless you die.
    Bonus 3 - When fighting the boss, if you time your jumps right, the
              the robot arm will fly off screen and bring either Headcase
              or Bino on screen.  Destroy him for another SB.

3. BGM CD Information
=====================
Many Japanese game releases will have Background Music (BGM) CD's, which
are collections of the in-game music.  Some are what you hear in the game,
others are of superior quality to the game music, created with professional
synthesizers and/or orchestras.

I haven't been able to find any information on a BGM cd for this game.  I 
have the one for Treasure's first big Sega game, Gunstar Heroes, so I'm 
hoping there will be one for this game.  Please pass on the Japanese CD 
number if you have it.
