Beat the Game Once
Once you have successfully completed "Astro Boy: Omega Factor," you will unlock some new options. You'll be able to enter a stage select mode, a sound test mode and an event test mode. Event test mode lets you view all of the cutscenes that you see during the game. Using the stage select mode allows you to build up your stats, try new levels and meet new characters in the game. The new levels include Dr. Tenma's House, Duke Red's Hideout, Boon's Archeological Site and Doctor Black Jack's House.
Sharaku Hosuke
To unlock the Sharaku Hosuke character, you must first unlock the stage select mode by completing the game once. Then, play through the game again and complete it a second time. After the ending sequence, the credits will roll and you will be presented with a screen displaying "The End." Don't press "Start" at this point -- wait until the screen disappears by itself. It takes around two minutes, but doing this will unlock Sharaku Hosuke for you to use.
Extra Upgrade
When you begin the game, you will be asked if you want to complete a short tutorial. You can skip this and continue straight into the main game, but it's best to do the tutorial. Completing the tutorial gets you an "upgrade" that you can use on one of your attacks; you'll be able to make your punch, kick, laser and other abilities more powerful.
Beat the Spider Robot Boss
To beat the Spider Robot boss, use your arm cannon rather than your machine gun. Don't stay underneath the boss -- it will attack you with a spreading wave of shots. Wait for a short pause when the boss is firing these shots, and then attack it with jumping punches. Continue using your jump punches and arm cannon to defeat this boss.
