Q:  In Mickey Mouse Castle of Illusion Game Gear Version, how do you kill the
    Chocolate looking dude in the Candy world?

Each time he hits the wall four chocolate pieces fall, three disappear, one
stays.  Pick up the remaining one, jump and throw it at the guy when in mid-air
(works ony when he is 'fully assembled', with face).  Repeat four times.  With
some practice you can do it quickly.  Throw it when he is hitting the wall, then
the next piece will fall down and he will not disassemble, so you can throw
again.  You can finish him in <15 seconds this way.


Secret Treasures:  To grab two secret treasure chests go to the very far right
                   of the forest in Level 1.  You'll discover two treasure
                   chests in the bottom left hand corner of the screen.  Jump on
                   the chest on the right and then jump up to the right side of
                   the screen in one motion.  Two treasure chests appear just
                   above and to the right of the first two chests.  Quickly jump
                   onto them.  They will break open and two coins will appear,
                   each worth 2,000 points.

                   Another secret treasure in the same Level is towards the
                   end:  when you passed the cave and go down (to re-emerge in
                   the forest) go left and attack jump - another 2 treasure
                   chests with big coins appear.



Secret Life:  In level 4 enter the coffee cup screen.  Exit the coffee cup and
              jump across the three rotating platforms until you reach the first
              dancing Letter A.  Climb the ladder to the left of the screen
              until you reach a room with two bugs, a button, and a barrel.
              Kill the bugs by throwing the barrel and the button.  The button
              disappears but you can use the barrel to climb up the ladder on
              the right side of the screen.  You'll enter a screen where there's
              another bug to the right.  Kill the bug by jumping on it and
              continue to the right until you reach a second dancing Letter A.
              Pass the Letter A and keep going right.  You'll come upon a tiny
              drop in the floor that looks like it was made out of wood.  The
              drop is just big enough for Mickey to fit into.  Jump up by
              pressing Button 2 twice so that Mickey comes down on his behind.
              This pops the floor and allows Mickey to enter a secret room with
              two treasure chests containing a coin and a free Mickey.  There is
              one more secret life on the same level.  When you finished the
              level and go to the boss room - you have to go down a ladder.
              Jump down the ladder (pressing 2) press left and keep it pressed.
              At some point Mickey will stop falling down and enter a secret
              passage, leading to a room with additional life chest.
