* After each stage, you're given the option to quit out instead of continuing. This seems like a pointless feature at first. However, this is a game where you can lose [[ScoringPoints Spirits]] at the end of a stage, be it from [[TimeLimitBoss timing out a boss]] or doing poorly in the [[BossBonanza Shrine of Farewell]]. Although you can evade the time-out penalty by simply exiting the game before time runs out (your score will still save), once you enter the Shrine you will lose all of your spirits until the end of the stage, so if your next stage is the Shrine, the "exit instead of contining to the next stage" can be a blessing.
