Mountain King


[the following two etries are in the words of their contributors, I haven't tried them (haven't gotten to playing the game yet) so don't ask me questions on them...I also have a feeling they both describe the same trick... ed]

This one is really hard to do. There are two jumps you can make in Mountain King. One is a short jump and the other is a long jump that can only be done immediately after a short one. Do a long jump from the top of the highest peak (the one with the campfire on it) and let the guy go as high as he can. On the way down you will notice a couple of platforms a few ladder spontaneously appear in midair. If you can make this same jump from as far right on the mountain peak as possible, you can catch one of the ladders in midair as you are coming down. If you catch it, you can climb up it an there is whole lot of weird stuff up there you can explore. Nothing that gives you points are even helps in the game, but its an interesting bug. NOTE: Things tend to spontaneously appear and disappear up there. While exploring in this region take a lot of time and very carefully watch what you do. I have had platforms dissapear from underneath me and send me crashing back down to the regular mountain.

There is a whole secret level(room). It is very hard to get to, but with pratice I can reach it within 10-15 minutes. If you go to the very top of the mountain where the fire is, and go one ledge below standing just to the left directly under the flame. Then jump to the left, if you do it right the character will sortof hop skip and take a very high flying leap. As you are flying upward, just when you are about to start descending, there will be a patern of 4 dashes
                    -     -
                    -     -   
If you hit the upper right (or lower right, cant remember) dash correctly and hop, you will go even higher to a ladder. Grab the ladder and welcome to the secret level. There are all kinds of weird stuff, usually your character will turn very large and the game will freeze, but sometimes you can go pretty far. As you move ladders will disappear and objects will move on the screen. There was a pattern, and every time I made it up there I would get a little farther without locking the game. There may very well be something up there if you keep trying. The location of the dashes and ladder leads me to beleive that they wanted someone to find it and it was just not by accident!!
