Level Secrets
========================================================================
I have been informed of a secret room in the hidden Grid World level. The
following post is from karasu on our Grid Message Board. I haven't had a
time to test this out myself, but it's from a good source.
First post from karasu
Check THIS out.... there are a couple secret rooms in the
GRIDWORLD background. One is next to impossible to get to
(if not totally impossible), but the other is just plain hard.
There are 2 vertical protrusions on one of the walls. You can
jump through a fake wall to a hidden area that has a cannon
and some ammo er something. As you stand there, you are
hidden behind a wall that YOU see through, but OTHERS
can't... like a one-way mirror.
You can just sit there and pick people off without them
seeing you.
You have to use Chiller (Edit: removed Karasu) to
supermove-jump from a pillar to an invisible ledge on
the closest vertical protrusion.
Then, just walk into the secret room and pick up the
goodies.
I've done it once, but I've never gotten to the other secret
room which is in the further vertical protrusion. I think you
can jump from the invisible ledge of the first protrusion
to the invisible ledge on the second protrusion.
Or maybe supermove-jump there.
UPDATE from karasu
I tried the secret room last night and I can only get to it
with Chiller's super-jump. Karasu didn't work. I haven't
tried Cyrus's stomp, though.
You kinda have to stand back a little from the edge of the
pillar/platform to make sure his super-jump lands right in
the middle of the room. It's way easy to slip through a crack
in one of the side walls and effectively over-shoot the room.
