Secret 1-Up:
This is a very simple tip that will allow you to raise your reserves
of lives by one. When the game begins, ignore the first torch you see.
Whatever you do, don't whip it! If you collect all the torches after
that, you'll discover that one will become a 1-Up instead of just
being another coin.
Hidden Rooms:
Hidden within each level are secret rooms filled with weapon and
health power-ups, not to mention free lives! To locate these rooms,
you must continue to climb the rope to the right of the first big
tree stump (Level One), then jump off the rope to the right in the
middle of the stone shaft just one screen after escaping the
horizontal spikes (Level Three). Now go kill Dracula!
