Weapons
- Polar Star - Obtained from the hermit's shack in the First Cave. This is the simplest and weakest weapon in the game.
- Level 1 - Shoots a single bullet that does 1 damage.
- Level 2 - Shoots a double bullet that does 2 damage.
- Max level - Shoots a large bullet that does 4 damage and flies farther than the other levels.
- Fireball - Found in Santa's house in Grasstown after letting him into his house. This one is good for shooting up hills or attacking enemies below, but for straight shots and airborne foes it doesn't do a lot of good.
- Level 1 - Shoots a single fireball that does minimal damage.
- Level 2 - Shoots an orange fireball that does moderate damage.
- Max Level - Shoots a blue fireball that does a high amount of damage.
- Machine Gun - Curly gives this to you in exchange for your Polar Star after you defeat her in the Sand Zone. It fires quickly, but its ammo is limited and must recharge.
- Level 1 - Fires small bullets that do 1 damage each.
- Level 2 - Fires larger bullets that do 2 damage each.
- Max Level - Fires very large bullets that do 4 damage each. In addition, this level adds recoil to the weapon - you will be pushed back for every shot you make. This effect can be used to hover in the air by shooting downwards.
- Upgrades - there is an item that you can pick up that will speed up the charge time on this weapon.
- Bubbler - A bubble-blowing pistol. It seems weak at first, but leveling it up gets you a fairly powerful weapon.
- Level 1 - Short range, weak power.
- Level 2 - Range nearly doubles, more power, and rapid fire.
- Level 3 - Hold the Fire button to summon bubbles. Release it to send them all in whatever direction you're aiming to make a powerful shotgun-type blast. There is a limit to how many bubbles you can summon at once - when this limit is reached, the bubbles will start shooting forward by themselves.
- Snake - If you choose not to take Curly's machine gun, you can obtain this weapon by speaking to the cockroaches in the Labrynth. The shopkeeper will combine your Polar Star and Fireball weapons to make this powerful weapon.
- Spur - If you decide to ignore the cockroaches' offer and skip over the Snake, you can get this weapon by returning to the First Cave and speaking to the Hermit.
- Missile Launcher - A powerful weapon, but its ammo is very limited.
- Level 1 - Launches a small missile that does moderate damage.
- Level 2 - Launches a large, very fast missile that does a high amount of damage.
- Level 3 - Launches three small missiles at once, while still only using one ammo.
- Super Missile Launcher - An upgraded version of the Missile Launcher that you find in the Labrynth. Power levels are the same as the Missile Launcher, except they do much more damage.

You must collect ALL hard event items to reach the hard ending.

- Santa's Key "The key to Santa’s house."
Santa's Key is found in Grasstown, in an area a few screens from where you talk to him. It is pretty hard to miss, as it is surrounded by many enemies. Give it to santa for him to open his house, which is required to get another item.
- Chaco's Lipstick "Red lipstick. It has no use."
This is the first extra item that you can get in the game. To get it, examine Chaco's fireplace the FIRST time you go into her house (Otherwise it will not work), then immediately go to sleep on her bed. When you wake up you will have it.
- Jellyfish Juice "A fluid that can quench fireplaces."
The jellyfish juice is one of the few event items that can be refilled as many times as you want. You can get it by defeating the large jellyfish in the area where you found Santa's key. It is used to put out fires.
- Rusty Key "A Rusty Key"

- Gum Key "A tag says Gum"
This item will be given to you by the same man who gave you the rusty key. He will only give this to you after you talk to the robot in the power generator room. It is used to unlock the door to the Gum Area.
- Gum Base "A clump of gum."
One of the items required for explosive, it is found in the chest in the Gum Area. A word or warning however, as opening the chest will initiate a boss fight with Balrog.
- Charcoal "Taken from a fireplace."
Another item required to make the bomb, this item can be gained by using jellyfish juice on Santa's fireplace. You don't have to talk to the robot before getting this item however, so you might want to get it before you go over the cliff.
- Explosive "An explosive for blowing up doors and such."
Once you get all the items, talk to the robot again and he will make you the explosive. You then use the explosive to blow up the door and free the man trapped inside the house.
Hard Event Items
