******************
******************

In Free Mode you can select any stage to play. You can only select those
already cleared in Story Mode. 2-player co-op is available in this mode as
well. You can complete most missions, and obtain most items and weapons n Free
Mode, though I prefer doing all that in Story Mode. Refer to the Story Mode
section for each stage.

**                  **
**********************
**********************

In Survival Mode you play through an indoor castle stage and attempt to set
records for floors cleared, KOs, etc. Due to the Auto Formation System, the
stage maps will change each time you play. There are 2 courses in Survival
Mode.

Abyss- Head down to the depths of the earth, where a mystery character awaits.
Tower- Attempt to clear as many floors as possible within the time given.

These are the Survival Mode Rules.
- Difficulty cannot be selected.
- The time limit for Abyss is 60 minutes and 20 minutes for Tower. (Time can
  be increased by accomplishing different missions given to you on different
  floors.)
- When your life meter reaches 0 the game is over.
- Any acquired weapons/items can be used in the other modes.
- There is a rest period every 3 floors where your life meter is restored and
  you can save the game.

It is a good idea to have the Lantern equipped so you can see the layout of
each floor. And unequip any saddles since they won't help at all in Survival
Mode.
