-- Alternate Title Screen

Complete the main game.

Title Screen Controls:

D-pad Left: pan to the left
D-pad Right: pan to the right

-- Somersault and Barrel Roll on Jet-Ski

In the final area where Leon and Ashley are on a jet-ski, press and hold the 
following buttons BEFORE attempting a jump from one of the three ramps:

Wii-mote: Hold the C button + Z button
Classic : Hold the L button + R button
Gamecube: Hold the L button + R button

Leon will perform a somersault in the air on the first ramp and perform a 
barrel roll while jumping from the last two ramps.

-- Perverted Leon

While Ashley is with Leon, tell her to wait on some high platform then get 
below her and try to tilt the camera so that it looks up her skirt.  Climbing a 
ladder while Ashley is on a high platform is one of the best ways to get this 
animation.

Note: This can only be done while Ashley is wearing her normal outfit.

-- Leon's Backache Animation

While Ashley is in her Knight Armor costume, Leon will grab his back every time 
that he catches Ashley when she jumps from a high platform.

-- Indestructible Ashley

While Ashley is in her Knight Armor costume, she is completely immune to harm.  
Try to shoot her and bullets will do no harm, nor flame grenade, hand grenades, 
lamps, explosive barrels, or even rocket launchers!  With this outfit, an enemy 
cannot steal her away either since she is too heavy for them to lift.  Tell 
Ashley to wait near explosive barrels while enemies pile up!

El Gigante?              He'll drop her since she is so heavy then come for 
                         Leon.
Bear Traps?              She'll get stuck in them but they won't harm her.
Plagas Heads?            No effect.  She even immune to a head bite.
Truck before the castle? It will run over her and knock her upwards but do no 
                         damage in the process.
Fireballs at the castle? They will only knock her down.
The cannon's blast?      Again, it will only knock her down.
When you play with her?  She is totally invincible.  If a Zealot grabs her, she 
                         will automatically kick it off.
The drill machine?       Goes right through her.
The Chicago Typewriter   Really gives her armor a good shaking but no damage 
or the Handcannon?       is lost.  It's quite hilarious and must be seen at 
                         least once.

-- Adjusting Leon's hat

Have Leon in his gangster outfit then purchase the Chicago Typewriter.  Aim 
with the Chicago Typewriter (hold B) then shake the Wii-mote as if you are 
reloading to have him grab his hat.  Do this four times in a row and on the 
fourth time Leon will throw his hat into the air then grab it as it falls and 
strike a pose.  Save the final pose for when Leon takes out a whole room of 
Ganados!

-- Special Chicago Typewriter Pose

Have Leon in his gangster outfit then equip the Chicago Typewriter and look at 
him on the right side of the screen.  Smooth Leon.

* Keep checking the inventory while Leon is equipped with the Chicago 
Typewriter and you might catch a rare glimpse of him adjusting his hat on the 
inventory screen.  I think this pose is completely random.  He doesn't do it 
that often.

-- Attack of the Killer Cows

Attack a cow a few times, preferably with the knife, and stand in front of him. 
The cow will headbutt Leon with it's head.  This takes off about 1 bar of 
health.  The cow cannot kill Leon though.  Now if we could just make a cow fall 
on Ashley like the falling cows in the Earthworm Jim games...

-- Ashley rooting for Leon

At the Lift Control Area, keep your eye on Ashley every time that Leon shoots 
an enemy off of a lift on the other side.  Notice how she gestures with her arm 
for every time that Leon knocks an enemy off of a forthcoming lift.  You got 
one, Leon!

-- Egg Pose

Equip an egg in "The Mercenaries" or in a regular game to see a special pose of 
the character with egg in hand on the inventory screen.  "Equip" is the egg's 
second option once selected.  Each character's pose is the same for all egg 
types.

-- Hitting Enemies with Eggs

As already mentioned, an egg can be equipped through the second option after 
selecting it.  An enemy can be hit with an egg and it will splatter on them but 
not do any damage.  Hit an enemy in the face with an egg and it will stun 
him/her.  Run up to the stumbling enemy for a special attack prompt like 
normal.  Think you can kill an enemy with egg tosses and physical attacks?  It 
can be done!  I prefer using brown eggs myself.

Leon can stock up on eggs in the Farm area right outside Pueblo Village through 
random egg drops from chickens.  Exit and reenter the Farm in order to have the 
chickens lay more eggs!

-- Large Spiders

In the Booby Trap Area where the Ganados throw dynamite near the beginning of 
the game, the small building to the left (after stepping out of the tunnel 
contains three large spiders that can be shot.  Shooting them will make them 
splatter.

-- Beetles

So far, there are three beetles located in the trees around the game.  They can 
be found in any mode.  These beetles cannot be hit.  They will fly away if Leon 
shoots at them.  The Wii-mote will rumble as if they can be shot.

Beetle #1

In the Trap Area, right before entering the tunnel to go to the area where 
Ganados throw dynamite, walk back up the path after escaping the boulder then 
move back down the path and find the tree below the overhead bridge.  The 
beetle is on the side of the tree that is facing Leon as he moves down the 
path.  This one can actually be hit with a knife.

Beetle #2

Right outside the barn (the entrance) where Leon fights Chief Mendez, the 
beetle is up in the middle of the tree, right near a branch.

* I actually can't find this beetle again in my game.  I found him one time and 
recorded his location but lost the damn paper, so the location is quite vague 
but he is somewhere around that area.

Beetle #3

After exiting the Novistador cave via the lift that Leon upwards, move past the 
merchant in the small building and run toward the tree in the middle of the 
path.  Look up on the southwest side of the tree and this beetle is next to a 
branch that extends toward the destroyed buildings up ahead.  He is near the 
middle of the tree, so look up.  This tree has a bird nest in it.
