• When you ride a bicycle you can press the R button to ring the bell.

• There's a hidden clubhouse where a kid will give you a cap that's better than anything else available. It's by the library with a kid standing guard so it shouldn't be hard to find. It isn't significant, but every bit helps.

• Once you get Jeff, feel free to stock him up with Bottle Rockets. He can't use PSI, so you might think he's underpowered. Bottle Rockets are key. Expensive, but worth the easy battles.

• The For Sale Sign is also helpful in getting rid of cheap items.

• The Brain Stone may sound useful, but it is actually glitched and does absolutely nothing. Keeping it in your inventory will only waste space.

• There is an Insignificant Item in a drawer in Threed Hospital. Take it to the man in Twoson's Hospital and you'll be given a Magic Truffle!

• PSI Teleport can be used to make sudden turns if you are fast enough to control it. Take care not to go too far if you abuse it to run past fights.

• PSI Flash can cause lots of random ailments to enemies.

• Fobbies and Foppies are amazing enemies to grind on and only for a limited time.

• When you get to the Guardian Diggers, leave the third strongest one for last.
