To view the hidden credits screen, go to the sunken ship. On the
leftmost side of the ship is a platform. Jump onto it and stand on
the right half of the platform. Now press B to view the credits.
Secret warps
Secret Warp #1: Go to the Left Cloud Area. Fall off of one of these
clouds to land on another cloud on a screen below (you can touch that
bee from here to get the coin). Jump one screen to the right to land on
the cloud on the screen with Hookjaw's Grave. Stand on the right half
of this cloud and press B. Make sure that faithful Snorkel is equipped,
as you'll be warped to the area to the right of the Sunken Ship.
Secret Warp #2: After using the Magic Pebble at the Totem Pole to get
to the Right Cloud Area, jump left off of the cloud to the next
screen, where you'll land on another cloud. Stand on the left half of this
cloud and press B to warp over to the Left Cloud Area.
Item tips
Large Rock - This is located on the beach near the starting point.
Pick it up and carry it one screen over to use as a step.
Magic Pebble - Find it in the Tree Hut Area. Use it in front of the
Totem Pole to warp to the Right Cloud Area.
Heavy Weight - Also in the Tree Hut Area. Put it under a hook in the
same area to lower a platform to a new area.
Rubber Snorkel - In the Tree Hut Area as well. You must have this as
one of your three items when entering the water.
Infrared Detonator - Tree Hut Area. Place this to the right of the
brown square in the Blasting Area after placing the Sticks of Dynamite
to the right of the grey rock on the same screen.
Gravedigger's Spade - Another Tree Hut Area item. Use it on the
Second Grave in the area to the right of The Ocean (make sure the
Snorkel is one of your 3 items when you use the Spade). You can
use it on Hookjaw's Grave, but you will see that the grave must be
breached in another way (later in the game).
Saltwater Crowbar - Find it on the Underwater Ship. Use it while
standing on the rock that is one screen over from where you found it.
Though before you use it, you will have to exit the Ocean Area to
switch around your items so that the Crowbar is in the top spot.
Holy Bible - Find it on the Totem Pole Screen. Bring it with you,
along with the Snorkel, when going to get the Cursed Treasure under
Hookjaw's Bridge later in the game.
Large Brass Key - This is on the Pier. Use this to move the floor
panel aside in the Smuggler's Cave to get to Blackbeard's Secret Kitchen.
Sticke of Dynamite - Located in the water to the left of the Smuggler's
Cave. Place it next to the grey rock in the Blasting Area, then place
the Infrared Detonator to the right of the brown square to blast the
rock out of the way (the brown square protects Egghead from the
explosion).
Woodcutter's Axe - This is on the Second Grave screen. Go to Hookjaw's
Bridge and use it while standing on the grey part of the bridge. Make
sure the Snorkel is one of your 3 items, as you fall into a water
area.
Bag of Coins - Behind the large grey rock you just blasted in the
Blasting Area. Give it to the Red Guy for an item. This is one of
the 4 Treasures.
Pogo Stick - Find it in the Left Cloud Area. Use this at the "Official
Pogo Jumping Area" on the Underwater Ship to get to the Island in the
Sky. Just press A with this as one of your 3 items at the Pogo Area
and you'll vault upward.
Pair of Flippers - Get 'em in the Right Cloud Area. Take them with you
into the water and you can swim around. You need these to get out of
the water beneath the Air Pocket.
Fire Resistant Suit - This is the only thing of importance on the Island
in the Sky. This gets you past the candle in the Smuggler's Cave.
Dehydrated Boat - The Red Guy gives you this when you present him with
one of the 4 Treasures. Use it at the Pier to make the boat appear
(you still need 3 more items to make the boat run).
Vintage Brandy - Get this in Blackbeard's Secret Kitchen. And yes, that
Red Guy values the Brandy as one of the 4 Treasures. He'll give you
an item for it.
Large Diamond - This is on an altar in the Smuggler's Cave. The Red
Guy also takes this in trade and gives you another item. One of the 4
Treasures.
Outboard Motor - One of those items that the Red Guy gives you. Use
it at the Pier and it magically appears on the boat.
Gallon of Petrol - Yes, the Red Guy surrenders this for one of the 4
Treasures too. Use this at the Pier also and it lowers the boat
further into the water...just one more item needed to get the boat going!
Cursed Treasure - This is the infamous treasure of Hookjaw, found
underwater beneath Hookjaw's Bridge. Give this to the Red Guy as well
for another item. This is one of the 4 Treasures. You won't escape
Hookjaw's underwater grave with the Cursed Treasure unless you take
along the Holy Bible.
Ignition Key - This is the last item the Red Guy gives you (afterwards
he softens up and tells you that you were his best customer...no doubt
his only one!). Bring this to the Pier and use it to get the boat
running.
Coin locations
There are 30 coins to be found in all. They serve no real purpose,
except to determine the "ending" you will get upon finishing the game.
Most coins are in plain sight. Just stand over them and press B to add
them to your collection. Some take a little exploring and probing to find.
Here are the locations for 2 coins that are hard to find. Go two screens
left from the Starting Point. Hit B in front of the tree and a coin will
drop out of it. Pick it up. The other hard one to find is located 3
screens to the right of the Blasting Area. Go to the second tree
from the left at the bottom of this screen and hit B. Another
coin will fall to the ground. Pick it up.
Two coins are found by running into bees. Both are in the areas left
of the Starting Point. Just make contact with the bee and the coin will
fly to the next screen. These bees are some of the rare "friendly"
creatures that won't kill you when you touch them. One of the bees
can only be reached by dropping on it from the clouds. This one will
also yield a coin. A third bee won't give up a coin but if you touch it,
something strange will happen.
A bunch of coins can be found by pressing B in front of many of the
hut doors. Not all of them, but quite a few will reveal coins. You can
only get one coin per door, if you get one at all.
There is a big fish above the area where you used the Crowbar to pry
away the rock. This is another of the "friendly" creatures in the game.
Jump on the weird green guy that doubles as an elevator and ride him
up to the big fish. Jump into the big fish and you'll find yourself in its
belly. Unfortunately, the fish wasn't very hungry before he gobbled you
up, as he only has one coin in him. Grab the measly thing and get out
of there. Oh yeah, don't touch the identical looking big fish on the
screen to the left of the "friendly" one, as he will kill you without
even as much as a second thought.
One coin is in Blackbeard's Secret Kitchen (next to that Brandy).
Another out-of-the-way coin is on a ledge on a screen above the Sunken
Ship. Use the flippers to swim to it, or get lucky and manage to fall
onto the ledge from the Island in the Sky.
There is also a coin on the shore where you end the game, after
constructing the fully operational boat.
