There are 3 Boss Rush courses where you face a string of bosses without breaks in between. Each course has its rewards if you beat it within a certain amount of time.

Hard Mode Unlockables

Depending on which Level Cap is used, defeating Hard Mode will yield different bonuses: non-sellable and non-usable "trophies" and permanent stat boosts. Defeating Hard Mode with a lower cap will automatically net items from the higher level caps. For example, defeating Hard Mode with Level 1 cap will give you all 3 sets of bonuses.

Duplicate Quest Reward

Upon completing a Quest, Talk to Wind to open up the quest menu. Press A twice. When you hear the "reward" chime, press START to exit the quest menu.

The quest reward is already given to you, however, the quest is uncleared from the list. You can repeat this as many times as you want and get the rewards again. Note: This glitch does not work in the European version of the game.

Enhanced stats for the Sisters, for Richter and Old Axe Armor

First, for this glitch to work, you must complete theses steps:

1. Have a game completed with Jonathan at hard (any caps will do, but 1 is recommended for the purpose of the glitch).
2. Go on jonathan's new game + and press A once.
3. When it shows the difficulty to use, press B.
4. Go on an empty save file, press A.
5. Choose any of the characters and start the game.

If you try to defeat enemies, you'll notice you do the same damage (If you had the str boost from the LV1 Cap at hard) than if you were LV40, but at LV1!

Jump a few more extra times

This glitch will make your characters be able to jump twice as much as you currently can. For example, if you don't have the double-jump relic, you are able to jump twice with this glitch and if you have it, you are able to jump up to four times. This glitch is useful for sequence breaking and getting items early in the game.

1)First have both characters on the same screen
2)Tap the touch screen above to make your partner jump up to two times (depending if you have the double jump ability or not)
3)Once your partner is high enough, press X to switch characters
4)If timed correctly, you will be able to do an extra jump or two right after switching characters

Play as Maria only

There is a glitch in the game that lets you play as Maria only. However, note that she can not beat the game by herself since she does not have a super jump skill.
To unlock a Maria-only mode, follow these steps. You must have both Richter and Old Axe Armor modes unlocked for the glitch to work:

1. Resume your completed Jonathan/Charlotte mode game.
2. Switch the main character to Charlotte.
3. Save the game. Restart.
4. Choose New Game + with your Jonathan/Charlotte mode game.
5. At the name entry screen, press B.
6. Start a new game and choose Old Axe Armor as the character.
7. Instead of Old Axe Armor, your character will be Maria!

Start any new game with a fully completed map

Normally youre only supposed to carry over your completed map from a Jonathan cleared game to a Jonathan new game +. With this glitch you can start a new Sisters, Richter, or Old axe armor game with your fully completed Jonathan map. Heres how:

1. Click on the new game + bat icon to the right of your cleared Jonathan file.

2. On the 'normal' or 'hard' difficulty screen, press B to cancel and go back.

3. Go to any blank file and start any new game be it Sisters, axe armor, etc.

4. Voila! Fully completed map!

This makes exploring in Sisters, Ricther, and Axe armor mode a whole lot easier.
