did anyone else find any of the secret nes-oriented items yet? so far i've found three-- bell, crown, and konami man ().

All I have found is the crown. Would you mind telling me where you found those other 2?

P.S.- I can't seem to get to the very lower left of the map. I have beating the game too. If you buy Map #2 from Hammer, It shows you the area I'm talking about. One way there is blocked by one of those switch doors and the other has spikes underwater. Please, help the little people!

the other 2 i've found through a glitch (it's a thread somewhere in the forum), but there's other ways to get them. i remember the konami man has something to do with a certain bullet soul and the vertical spike room in the cursed clock tower.

for the underwater spikes, you need to have the bone arc soul. equip it, hold R, and you can just walk right past them.

Konami Man is found in a clock tower room that has a Tanjelly and normal Slime slithering around. It's right above a room with a Dead Pirate and a Tanjelly, I believe. In the room there will be a block with the TanJelly. Get onto it and crouch and the Konami Man will fly by.

The Bell is found in the bell room, just go inside the bells until you find it.
