More Lives

Level Select
To access the level select, on the main menu hold A + B on the second controller and select options. If you did this correctly, you will see extra options, and at the bottom, the one that says Round is your stage select option.
Hidden 1-Up Stage 1
On stage 1 as soon as you start the level there is a mailbox towards the bottom left of the screen. If you go to it and press B (the punch button) you'll be able to pick up the hidden 1-up behind it.
Hidden 1-Up Stage 2
On stage 2 right after you get out of the truck, go behind the truck cab on the top left part of the screen. Behind the cab, there is a hidden 1-up you can pick up by pressing B (the punch button).
No Damage From Being Thrown
If you want to avoid taking damage when an enemy throws you, press and hold Up + C as soon as an enemy throws you until you hit the ground. If you do this correctly, your character will land on their feet instead of hitting the ground and they won't take any damage.
