Line 25:
* [[Blood Magic]] - The Kapala
* [[Blackout Basement]]
* [[Boring Yet Practical]] - Rocks do two damage per hit, are reusable, are good for triggering traps safely, cannot be destroyed except by lava, and can be thrown a pretty good distance. With a little practice you can destroy most enemies long before they become a threat. The only downside is that you need to be careful not to [[What an Idiot!|hit yourself on the rebound.]]
* [[Bottomless Pit]] - The third major area of the caves is mostly platforms over a yawning abyss.
* [[Bragging Rights Reward]] - The reward for completing all four challenges.
Line 80:
** For the record, the damsel CAN die in the same way that you can, but she's immune to fall damage and take less damage from certain traps.
** The shopkeeper is a straight example, though, as he has 20 HP compared to your default of 4.
* [[Man -Eating Plant]]
* [[Mercy Invincibility]] - It's there, but it's so short you may not even notice. If you accidentally fall next to an enemy, you will be stunned, and you will die.
* [[Metroidvania]] - As of version 0.99.8, making one of these in the level editor is possible. Several have been completed.
Line 117:
* [[Stalked By the Bell]] - The ghost.
* [[Sticky Bomb]] - As a replacement for standard bombs.
* [[Super Not -Drowning Skills]] - There are many, ''many'' ways you can be killed. Drowning, surprisingly, is not one of them.
* [[The Tetris Effect]] - One of the aftereffects when playing it enough.
* [[Tele Frag]] - Be careful not to move into a wall when using the Teleporter.
Line 147:
** One popular strategy for dealing with high-end monsters is to attach a Sticky Bomb to a Damsel and let her dash forward. You can only do this once per Damsel.
* [[Virgin Sacrifice]] - "You hear prayers to Kali!" But you can also sacrifice damsels yourself.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]] - If you pull it off right, then you can kill shopkeepers and steal their goods - but [[Video Game Cruelty Punishment|you'll be a wanted man from there on out]].
* [[Where the Hell Is Springfield?]] - The ruins. The intro establishes that they're located in the Middle East, but the architecture is distinctly Mesoamerican, and there are altars to an Indian goddess. The third area's Yeti and ice suggest the Himalayas, but then there's the [[Eenie Meenie Miny Moai|Moai statue]] and a volcano at the end,
* [[When All You Have Is a Hammer]] - Approaching every problem with bombs is effective. Want the treasure in the walls? Bomb them. Want to cut right to the exit? Bomb your way down. Arrow trap in the way and you don't have a rock? Chuck an inactive bomb down and pick it up again. Or just blow it up. Want that statue, but don't want to set off the traps associated? Bomb it off the platform. Wanna rob the shop? See Ballistic Discount up there (hint:it involves bombs). Fighting boss monsters? One hit kill. Final boss? Bombs make it end more quickly.
* [[Whip It Good]] - Your primary weapon.
