Hint: Fighting Sho:
To fight Sho, the true last boss of the game, finish the game without using a continue on normal difficulty or harder. Sho has Kayin's, Eiji's, and additional moves. The game's real endings will appear after Sho is defeated.

Hint: Fighting Gaia:
When the game is finished on a difficulty below NORMAL, Gaia must be defeated. If Gaia is beaten, a "desperation" move will be received. If the game is finished on a difficulty of normal or harder, and Sho is reached by not using any continues and beaten, a secret move will be received. Continues may be used while fighting against Sho.

Hint: Change music:
Pause game play then switch the game CD with an audio CD of your choice. The new music will be played when the game is resumed.
