Extra Weapons and Items
These are the secret weapons and items:
Beam Saber and Flamethrower Set - Finish the game twice to be able to find these secret weapons when replaying the game. (They are enabled one by one, for each time the game is finished.) Both are found in the mall. The beam saber is on the last jammed door in the second-floor hallway with the storerooms. The flamethrower is in the bakery.
Infinite Submachinegun - Beat the last boss by using any hand-to-hand melee attack for the killing blow. Now find this secret weapon in the alley just after the start of the game.
Gold Pipe and Silver Pipe Set - Finish the game at least once, and when playing it again, after getting rid of the pool monster in the sewers, drop the steel pipe in the pool, and then answer the questions honestly to get both of these secret weapons.
Transform Shirt - Finish the game twice, and then enter the costume code "PrincessHeart" (case-sensitive).
Laser Beam and Sexy Beam - Keep playing the game, finishing it on the various difficulty settings and by beating about 350 enemies totaled across repeated plays.

Transcience Shirt - Finish the game at least once, and when playing it again, get the UFO revenge ending by beating as many enemies as possible with the laser beam or sexy beam (see above) before reaching the apartment home, and then enter the costume code "ShogyouMujou" (case-sensitive).
