- In this game, you’ll visit France, Mexico, and various different locations in the US.
- The bonus levels see you dropped in on a platform in the middle of the ocean, as well as having the opportunity to roam around Heaven itself.

- 11 is for the minimalists and speedrunners; 96 is for the completionists.
- This game introduced a beloved character to the series. The character’s main function was conceived as an idea for previous games, but the hardware at the time was not powerful enough for it to come to fruition.

- To 100% the game, you’ll have to interact with every living creature.You’ll have to interact with them in just the right way though, otherwise your collaborator will have difficulty doing his part.
- In the original version of this game, you could connect a handheld device to your console to use an item given to you by someone who you freed from jail.

03
- The first time in this series (that I know of) that you can get a power up that mimics that of an enemy.
- The first time in this series that you use a map screen to access levels.

02

-Count 108 years...
