Alex Kidd in Miracle World Tips The ball with a star in the middle will help you read in the mind of the bosses when you're in a Janken match. You cannot win without that item. It can be found in the cavern, and you have another one in the first castle. You'll need a letter to have some king's help to your quest, and that letter is in the first castle. He'll give you a stone that will help you finish the game. Be careful with the acid showers. When you fight against Janken, after the match, stand right next to him to avoid his shurikens. At the end in the lake, check the king's stone to know in what order you have to walk on the boxes. If you don't have it, you'll have to try different combinations but that will cost you lives because ghosts get out of wrong boxes. by MaginciaMagincia April 2003
