Hint: Silent Mega Buster charging:
Whenever you charge up the Mega Buster, fire it at an enemy then immediately charge it up once again. Whenever you charge up the Mega Buster, keep it charged up then encounter something else for which it will make a different sound effect. Whenever you charge up the Mega Buster, keep it charged then encounter an enemy that will make a different sound effect. Any one of those three occurrences will then silence the Mega Buster's charging up sound effect. It will be silent and stay that way while still charged up until you release that shot and charge it again.
