Hidden staircase
There is an invisible staircase leading to Dracula,
and a pit below it, on the level just before Dracula is encountered.
Take a large jump into the pit from the edge to land on an invisible
platform. Move to the left side to reach a staircase that leads
downward. Before going down, move all the way to the left to find
some power-ups. Collect 99 hearts, a triple boomerang, and the
best whip, then carefully return to the stairs to enter the next
level.
Bonus rooms
Levels 3-1, 6-2, and 9-2 have bonus rooms that contain
a large amount of power-ups.
