Little Samson Cheats

After the intro stages, Stage 1: Ruins normally leads to Stage 2: Sky (similar to the dragon's intro stage). However, you can jump directly to Stage 7: Bubble Cave (with the vanishing bubble platforms).

When fighting the Stage 1 boss, after he transforms into the giant demon, finish him off with the mouse's bombs. Only the final hit matters, so you can weaken him using the other characters' attacks.

The easiest way to land a bomb hit is when the demon steps back to charge his seeking orb attack. Quickly lay bombs just ahead of where his front foot was, and he will step forward into the explosion as he attacks.
