CIRCUS CHARLIE

• 2 versions exist.  One has linear stage progression and the other allows you to select which of the 6 states to play.  In the selectable stage version, each stage can be played a maximum of six times.

• Lion stage: at the very start, push left while jumping 3 times.  After the first hoop, you’ll see an extra Charlie hanging by a hook (picture #1)! Grab him for an extra life. {Christopher Burnell}

• Lion stage: you can also get an extra life if you jump backwards through a hoop.  You can only use one extra life trick on each stage (not both).

• Lion stage: if you get all the money bags w/o losing a life, at the end of the stage a bird will fly over carrying a money bag, and dump coins on you, worth 1,840 points.

• Lion stage: if you jump over a flame pot w/o going through a hoop, you’ll get 500 points.  If you repeat this with the 2nd-to-last pot, you can easily earn over 5,000 points!

• Lion stage: if you jump backwards over one of the flame pots, a coin will pop up out of it and you’ll get 800 points (picture #2).  If you grab the coin before it falls back into the pot, you’ll get 3,000 points! This will only work once per stage. {Scott Stilphen}

• Tight rope stage: if you jump over a purple monkey while flipping backwards, you’ll get 5,000 points!

• Tight rope stage: at the end, jump on the lower platform and walk over to the right side.  Charlie will pull on a chain and the top platform will be filled with bags of money worth 5,000 points (pictures #3 and #4)!

• Each stage can only be played 5 times, until all 6 stages have been played 5 times each.

• The score counter will stop at 999,990.

• BUG: Between 920k-980k you’ll receive a free life for every 1,000 points!
