NOTE: You must disable all cheats or this trick won't work.
Mini Game
Delete all your Fighters MegaMix save data. Now beat course A-H but not I. Then place O.K. marks on 1200 moves in training. Now go to course I and press the L button. You'll enter a screen full of question marks. The object is to find the two matching pictures. Beat it once to get a picture of Janet. Beat it again to get a picture of Janet without armour. Beat it again à

Remove your Armor
To remove your own armour in normal mode (as opposed to hyper mode) use the following move: f, b, f, b+P+K+G. This move is very tricky to work at first because the timing is delicate, but the effect is worth it.

NIGHTS Into Dreams
Alternate Music
If you beat the game with straight A's, adults will sing the theme song instead of children.
Bonus Images
For some nice screen shots and wallpaper, place the NIGHTS CD in your computer and look in the "Extras" folder.
Disable the Alarm Egg
It is possible to knock the Alarm Egg down by jumping at it. If you manage to knock it into the purple 'sea' surrounding each level, then leg it up the nearest hill, the Alarm Egg should go away for at least two minutes!
Note: On some early versions of NIGHTS, if you knock the Egg too far the game crashes with
the error "Object ALARMEGG escaping off edge of map."
Extra Move while Performing Stunts
If you start doing a stunt or loop just before you enter the 'power loop' you still get credit for it when you complete it.
Fairy Train
In Frozen Bell, when not in NIGHTS mode, look for a train stop with a lot of fairies around it. Stay there for a while until a train comes and picks up fairies. If you get in, it will take you to the NIGHTS Shrine.
Fly Backwards
When you are walking towards the NIGHTS shrine and the little creatures steal your Ideya, you can keep walking towards the shrine. If you can make it to the shrine before it cuts away from Ideya capture you'll start off flying feet first.
Hide from the Alarm Egg
The Alarm Egg cannot get you if you stand on a platform which is above another area. (e.g. platforms near the tree in Spring Valley and the tower in Stick Canyon.)
Hyper Jump
Jump then hit Jump before landing. While in the air from your Bounce Jump, hit Jump again. You should hear the sound that you hear when the Nightmaren take your Ideyas. Repeat this and you can reach goodies that NIGHTS can not! You can even cut across your dreams in 10 seconds flat.
Link Tip
To get a link so big it is only limited by how fast you can do it, go into Elliot's first snow level. Walk into the trees and igloos to get twenty orbs, then become Nights and get to the Capture Chamber as quickly as possible. Then loop or speed through whaterver linkable items you can find, and if you do it absolutly perfectly, you can wrap the level and connect your links to the next lap around. Using this trick I have gotten a link of 241, but it is possible to get more, around three hundred. Using this can propel your score above 300,000 also. Try it on the first lap of the desert too, though it is much harder.
Open Puffy's doors
When defeating Puffy, if you do it without getting hit once and before the timer reaches 90, the green doors at the end of the stage will open up to reveal some kind of pillar. I'm not quite sure what effect this has on the game.
Skin of Your Teeth Bonus
If you finish a Mare (enter the Ideya palace with the Ideya) when the timer is below 19, you often get a better grade than when there is a lot of time left.
Stun the Alarm Egg
To stun the egg timer, jump into him (don't touch the beam!) If you hit it right, the egg will fall to the ground for about 10 seconds.
