Completion bonuses:
-------------------
Successfully complete the game to unlock the Separate Ways and
Mercenaries-mini-games; the Professional difficulty setting;
the Leon's Raccoon City Police Department costume, Ashley's
pop star costume, and Ada's black costume; the Mathilda handgun
and Infinite Rocket Launcher for purchase (for 1 million Pesetas),
and the Tactical Vest (for 60,000 Pesetas); and an alternate title
screen.

Successfully complete the Separate Ways mini-game to unlock Ashley's
knight costume and Leon's gangster costume. Ashley's suit of armor
is bullet and damage proof. She cannot get hurt by anything and it
is so heavy she cannot be carried away. You do not have to worry
about giving her First Aid Sprays, Herbs, or shooting Ganados trying
to pick her up.


Alternate ending sequence:
--------------------------
Successfully complete Assignment Ada and watch the credits.
They will be in gray scale. However, if you select "Yes" when asked
"Watch the ending movie again?", it will be replayed in color in a
smaller frame. If you watch it once more when prompted, it will play
is full wide screen color. They will alternate each time you choose
to replay the credits.


Game trailers:
--------------
Remain idle at the title screen. Eventually two trailers will begin playing
and begin to cycle.

Punisher:
---------
If you destroy all blue targets in the beginning you can get a free Punisher from
the Merchant 2 guns before you can buy it. This pistol hits two targets when you
get it, and five when you get exclusive. This makes it work well for crowd control.

Riot Gun one shot kills:
------------------------
To do this, you must fill the entire Firepower, Firing Speed, Reload Speed and Capacity
of the weapon. When you shoot a Ganado or a Los Luminados, one shot will kill them.
Note: The same happens with the Chicago Typewriter.

Killing birds:
--------------
Toss a flash grenade in the center of a group of birds. All of them will die instantly,
leaving lots of Pesetas. This also works with the Granadas when their heads are transformed.

Defeating Gothic Illuminados:
-----------------------------
When you are in the castle and you fire at the Gothic Illuminados, it is best to fire at
their knees. They will fall on them and allow you to use a suplex move instead of a kick. You
will then throw them over your head and smash their head in the ground. Note: In mercenary
mode, the same goes for the rest of the mercenaries.

Defeating J.J. (mini gun man):
------------------------------
An easier way to kill J.J is to first hit him in the head with a weaker gun.
When he is holding his head, attack him with a more powerful weapon. If he recovers quickly,
just use the same strategy. This also works on the military base during the Mercenaries
mini-game.

Crows:
------
Look out for crows. They sometimes drop valuable items and are usually found in groups. To
kill crows, shoot them from a distance. If you are close and there are other crows nearby they
will fly away. An easier way to kill a group of them is to toss a flash grenade into their
midst and watch the items drop.
