BOSS RUSH MODE
After beating the game as Leon & saving your game, you will be able to enter Boss Rush Mode. It can be accessed in the warp room; just stand on the glowing skull in the center to start it. You will fight the bosses in the order of: Flame Elemental Frost Elemental Thunder Elemental Doppelganger (Dark Palace of Waterfalls) Doppelganger (Pagoda of the Misty Moon) Undead Parasite Golem Succubus Medusa Joachim The Forgotten One Walter Death On the plus side, the bosses are the same strength as they were in the original game, and after defeating each one, they drop Potions & Big Hearts (except after Walter; you go straight into fighting Death). This can only be done after defeating all the bosses, including The Forgotten One.

He obtains the same items as Leon does. When beating the game as him, you can see some CGI renders of Pumpkin as the ending credits role.

SKELETON BOWLING
I'm not really sure if that's what it's called, but meh. In an area of the House of Sacred Remains 1F, you will enter a long corridor. Inside you will see 6 Skeletons along the far side of the wall & a Peeping Eye floating around. Wait for the Peeping Eye to roll into a ball to do it's flaming pillar attack, then position yourself right so that when you smack him with a (light) whip attack, he will roll across the floor and smack into the Skeletons, destroying them. The object is to try and use the Peeping Eye to kill all 6 in one 'strike', if you will. Then, more Skeletons will appear; 3 this time. Do the same as before. Then finally, 4 will appear. Once you destroy those 4, a Ramen [food item] will appear for you to grab it. You have to NOT kill the Peeping Eye, otherwise, you will have to exit the room and re-enter to try again.

SKULL SHUTES
In the Dark Palace of Waterfalls, there are skull-shaped rooms that you enter that will take you on a sort of roller coaster-like ride through what appears to be a skeletal like structure. Inside, you will see blue spikey protrusions floating in there (that guarding won't work against), as well as coins lined up on either sides of them at given intervals. The object here, is to try and grab all the coins that you see to obtain a prize at the end. There are 40 in total; in 8 sets of 5, starting on the right side of the screen. Collect the 5, then move to the other side, collect those 5, move back, etc, etc. If you've collected all of them, you will hear a bleeping-ding noise. Once you do, quickly stand in the middle of the platform to get your prize when you're passing through to the end of the tunnel. It is the same layout in both coaster rides. One of the prizes is a Meditative Incense [Relic] that uses MP to restore Hearts. This one can be obtained from the shortcut from B1F to B2F. The other prize is a MP Max Up that increases your Max MP count by 20 points. This one is obtained from the shortcut from B2F to B1F.
