GOLDEN AXE II -- Genesis
========================

Extra Credits-
To get extra continues in the arcade mode, after 
switching on the game, press and hold buttons 
A, B, and C down.  Hit START to go to the Options.
While in options, release button A (keep pressing
B & C) and select the options you want to play 
with.  Next, exit the Options menu, still holding
B & C.  Select either 1 or 2 players, and you 
will now have 8 Continues instead of 3.

Extra Magic-
You can only get this option for player 1 and you must 
be using the SPECIAL magic option.  Upon hearing the
music before the first BOSS (the Big Red Minotaur),
hold down but do not release the C Button.  Defeat
the Boss while holding C, and just as you see the 
screen swirl in black, release C.  Now, while in 
the special stage don't press any button or move at
all.  If you were successful, when you start the
next level, your character will cast a special 
spell and your magic points will fill up to 255.

Or, on level one, after you kill the boss, hold down
the A button, but don't let go until level 2. 
You can do this on any level with a "special stage"
