Warps: There's a 'continue option' warp on the first board. It won't take you any higher than Level 8, though.

1) The first warp is behind the palace on the upper-right hand corner of the first board. Go there then jump. It'll take you to Level 3.

2) The second warp : get the hat, run to an elevator, and at the back corner of the hidden ramp, jump before the hat expires. The warp always gives you four lives (not including the one you're on) and takes you to Level 5.

3) The third warp is on the third screen of Level 5, titled 'Crossroads'. It is extremely easy to trigger; just move to the very upper left corner and jump. You will be transported to the first screen of Level 7, again with four lives to spare. There are no other warps.

* A Trick: If you jump at least 128 times in the front right corner of any maze, the next maze that is fully drawn from the beginning will have a string of the words ATARI stretched across the middle of the screen. It disappears on the next maze, unless you are playing a two-player game, in which case it can appear on two screens.

* Another Trick: On Level 5, Berthilda's Palace grab the hat and enter the large door where Berthilda is. Run over her for 3,000 points, then head to the corner of the room (where Berthilda was) and jump. The initials FXL will appear in the lower-right hand corner of the screen, which stands for Franz Lanziger, one of the designers of Crystal Castles!

* This Trick Is Free: When the machine is in its demo mode, wait until the first stage appears. When Bentley gets killed, hold down BOTH jump buttons and the accounting screen, which shows customer play information, will appear.

* Secret Message: When you complete level 10, a special screen appears that says, I GIVE UP : YOU WIN YOU MUST BE _______________.

What goes in the blank depends on the number of lives you have left.

For 1 life, fill in AMAZINGLY GOOD;

For 2, RIDICULOUSLY GOOD;

For 3, FANTASTICALLY GOOD;

For 4, VERY GOOD;

For 5, AN EXPERT;

and for 6, A VIDEO WIZ.

* Time Bonus: For every four seconds of game play, you lose 1,000 points. The amount of time bonus starts at 200,000, so you can figure that a 5 minute game will have a time bonus of 125,000. Also, for every life you lose, you lose at least 1,000 time bonus points, so even though you can make up for your life as far as the life bonus, you still lose in time bonus.
