Quick notes
- Three chests sit behind each main boss. Cractus, Cuckoo Condor, Aerodent and Catbat each guard three chests.
- Minigame medals buy a head start. The Item Shop can damage a boss before normal combat begins.
- A phase change asks for a new attack. Spoiled Rotten becomes dangerous from the front, Cuckoo Condor exposes a bird and Aerodent needs its balloon deflated.
- Missing boss chests can be recovered after the ending. Bosses generally cannot be replayed immediately during the first run.
