To easily defeat C-serpent (the first boss), stand on the platform right in front of the boos. As soon as he hits you jump on top of him while you're still invulnerable. This will defeat the boss in one hit and you won't have to waste your time fighting him.
At the end of chapter 4, after exiting the whale you will need to enter a frequency to continue with the Sub-C submarine. The code is 747 and the only way to obtain it was using a piece of paper that came with the game.
To use magic items such as the Rod of Sight, pause the game, then press Down on the D-pad.
