If you happen to walk into a block on the floor that stuns you, pause and unpause the game and it will immediately release you from the stun.
If you hit the walls or blocks on levels 1, 5, 79, and 94 you will find a hidden exit. For instance, in level 1 head to the upper right corner and you will see a block protruding from the wall. If you hit this block, you will reveal a secret exit that will take you to level 5.
To use the in-game reset without having to hit the console reset, press Select + Start + A + B. If you press them all at the same time the game will reset to the title screen.
