Throughout the game, Athena can walk over various parts of the floor in an attempt to summon a flower to grow.  The locations of the flowers stay the same from game to game, so once you find a flower at a particular location, remember it and search the same place again next time.  When struck, flowers will released one of two kinds of hearts.  They will either release four regular hearts which can be collected to restore some of the damage done to Athena, or they will release one Crystal Heart, which will expand Athena's life meter by two units.  It is important for Athena to discover both types of flowers, in order to keep her strength high, as well as increase it for the tougher battles ahead.  She can even make flowers appear underwater.

Ultimate Athena is a super powered form of Athena which she can achieve in one of two ways.  Ultimate Athena is stronger and faster than regular Athena, which is a plus, but she is also taller than Athena which can be a problem since she can't fit through tunnels that are only two blocks tall, and she can't climb ladders, which is particularly a problem in the last level.

There are just a few select locations in the game where Athena can make platforms appear.  In order to do this, Athena must typically stand on some object in the stage, and push down.  This will cause a platform to appear somewhere nearby.  When it does, have Athena jump onto the platform to instantly transform her into Ultimate Athena, complete with full Gold Armor and the Fire Sword.  However, once Athena swings the Fire Sword often enough to make her lose the sword, she will revert back to the exact equipment she had before she transformed; she will not be allowed to keep the gold armor unless she had it before stepping on the platform.
The easy way to transform into Ultimate Athena is to use a platform.  Two platforms are hidden in the game, one in each of the first two stages.  In order to find them, Athena must typically stand on some object in the stage, and push down.  This will cause a platform to appear somewhere nearby.  When it does, have Athena jump onto the platform to instantly transform her into Ultimate Athena, complete with full Gold Armor and the Fire Sword.  However, once Athena swings the Fire Sword often enough to reduce her remaining hit points to five, she will revert back to the exact equipment she had before she transformed; she will not be allowed to keep the gold armor unless she had it before stepping on the platform.
 
The other method to become Ultimate Athena is to actually earn it legitimately.  In order to do this, you must collect the following items: Gold Armor, Gold Shield, Gold Helmet, Gold Crown, Fire Sword, and the Red Ring.  Possession of these six items will set Athena's Power and Defense stats to 16 each, which will trigger her transformation into Ultimate Athena.  You will stay this way until her hit points reach five.  At which point, the Fire Sword will become the Red Sword, and you will lose the Red Ring, but you will keep all of your protective gear.
