• No saves or continues allowed.

Special Rules

The player may freely use Umbrellas to warp ahead. Although this is a 1 Player Game only, if – and only if – you reach the final boss and encase him in a bubble, you may hit Start on the 2nd Player Controller (if you have 1 life in reserve) to bring in the 2nd Player and enable the Happy Ending. (This is due to the fact it's impossible to get the happy ending with 1 Player settings.)
