                               INTRODUCTION                         [page  3]      
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been a fan of Milon's Secret Castle since I first played it about seven
  years ago.  While playing this game I was constantly looking for some sort
  of strategy guide to all the hidden items.  After months of looking 
  through old gaming magazines and finding nothing, I decided to write one
  myself.  Hopefully it will answer all of your questions, especially the 
  location of the honeycombs.  If I've missed anything just email me at the 
  above address and I'll add it to the next release of this guide.

There is a GameBoy version of Milon's Secret Castle although I've never
  played it.  I saw a short preview of it in Nintendo Power(vol. 46) and it
  looks to be about the same.  Anyone who's played it should email me about
  the differences and I'll make note of it in the next release.

What's new in version 1.1: I corrected a small grammatical error
                           My email address has changed to
                               mcgrath@acad1.stvincent.edu

                                 STORY                              [page  4]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Milon lives in the land of Hudson, where everyone can communicate
  through music.  Milon is the only one who can't, so he decides to depart 
  and search for musical knowledge all across the world.  When he comes back
  he finds out that the evil warlord Maharito has taken over his castle and
  captured Queen Eliza.  Milon is determined to rescue the Queen and Castle
  Garland from the clutches of Maharito and his minions, who guard the seven
  magic crystal balls.

                               CHARACTERS                           [page  5]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Milon:       The hero and previous owner of Castle Garland.  

Barnaby:     Garland's wizard; he helps out Milon by giving him items and
               hints.

Queen Eliza: The beautiful and kind queen who was kidnapped by Maharito.

Maharito:    An evil warlord who has taken over the castle.










-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                ITEMS                               [page  6]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hearts:       Left behind by defeated enemies.  They replace one life bar.

Umbrellas:    Also left behind by defeated enemies; they give Milon the
                ability to shoot bubbles in a rapid-fire manner.  Each
                additional umbrella you pick up after the first one is
                worth one heart.

$ Blocks:     Adds one dollar to your money count.

Hudson Bees:  Surrounds Milon with a shield that protects him from a few
                hits.  If his shield gets weakened, he can pick up hearts
                to bring it back to full power.  However, once the shield is
                completely gone Milon will have to find another bee.

Keys:         Pick these up to unlock the exit door to the current level.

Honeycombs:   They add one extra life bar to Milon's total number of bars.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note Block:   Touch this to enter the bonus stage.                         

Boxing Glove: If Milon touches this while he is carrying the medicine he'll
                shrink down to half the normal size.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Milon touches the note block in some levels he'll be taken here.  Some
  Hudson Land inhabitants will play a short tune for him and the notes,
  sharps, and flats will fly up from the staff Milon is standing on.  Grab as
  many notes and sharps as you can but stay away from the flats!  When the
  song is over, Milon's points will be totaled up and then divided by four.
  The result is how much money he'll receive in return.


  Notes     +1 point
  Sharps    +2 points
  Flats     -1 point








                                                                    [page 14]

This level is quite easy so familiarize yourself with Milon's jumping
  ability and how he shoots the bubbles.  Collect everything in this
  stage and make sure you buy the Jump Shoes.  You'll have to wait until
  floor 3 to reach Shop 1-f and buy the Roller Shoes.

Star Block: 28,23
            Break the blocks on both sides of this block.  Push the block
              and you'll fall down.


The boxing glove makes it's first appearance here; make sure you have the
  medicine from Shop 1-a before you come.  Shrink down to enter Shop 1-d and
  also to get the money at the bottom right hand corner of this stage.
  You can skip Shop 1-d because the lantern will be sold for a cheaper price
  later in the game.  If you do go into the shop, you'll have to use the
  star block to get out of the upper area.  This is because when you come out
  of shops or bonus areas you'll be returned to normal size.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Jumping Dragon(tan)

  All of the bosses in this game follow the same pattern.  They'll bounce
    towards Milon and then bounce away from him in a straight line.  During
    this they'll also lob fireballs in a random fashion.

  Since you don't have the Balloon Ship or Roller Shoes yet, the best
    strategy is to pay attention to the boss's firing pattern.  Stay just
    close enough to them so that your shots will hit their heads.  Now jump
    over the low fireballs and run under the high ones.  While doing this
    fire as many bubbles as possible.  It's easier to fire down towards their
    heads while jumping than trying to shoot up at them while standing.

  After you defeat the boss you'll receive the first crystal.  This one is
    very important as it will let you continue if you happen to die.  Just
    press the LEFT and START buttons at the title screen.

  Now it's off to floor 2 where we'll dive into the mysterious well...
    
                                                                    [page 21]

            Lantern : $15


Not much special about this stage.  Most of the blocks that look like tables
  fall down after you step on them.  The other ones fall away and let you
  drop down but then come back.  The other two have springs in them where
  your Jump Shoes will come in handy.

            Free Money : A suddenly generous Barnaby gives you $10!


What that poorly phrased hint in Shop 2-b means is that you will still get
  burned from the fire but you won't die instantly.  Not much else is
  notable about this stage except the table blocks which will tumble
  if you step on them.

  As stated before, each boss follows the same pattern.  Jump over the low
    fireballs and duck under the high ones.  Jump up and fire downwards at
    his head and you'll be victorious.

  The second crystal will make the bubbles Milon shoots bigger.  Not as
    important as the first crystal but still needed.

  Go through the right door and you'll be taken to a shop where Barnaby will
    give you the hammer.  What a great guy; first $10 and now this...

  You'll be placed in the lower right hand corner of the Well Part 3.
    Work your self all the way out of the well and onto the house map
    screen.

  Go back to Shop 1-e and get the saw.

Sold
Power: $5 (only a few life bars are replaced)
Saw  : Free


Has Barnaby lost his mind?  This is the second item in a row he's given
  away for free.  Oh well, now that you have the saw you can get into those
  sealed windows.  Boss 2-b awaits...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jumping Ptyrdactal

  I wish I could say this boss does something different but he doesn't.  The
    only thing that has changed is that your bubbles are now bigger which
    makes hitting the boss' head a little bit easier.

  After defeating this boss you'll be taken to floor 3 where we'll discover
    the two mysterious towers of Castle Garland.











                                                                    [page 31]

             Break this block and use the spring beneath it to jump up off
               of the screen.

             Hint   : A room below the fireplace.
             Hint   : A trap in left tower.
             Feather: $35



Buying the feather isn't necessary and I wouldn't recommend it.  However,
  don't worry about running out of money because that's impossible.  The
  reason is because it'll be easier to buy the Balloon Ship in      [page 33]
  the next stage.  You won't have to spend extra time gathering the money.

            Push the block above the door to the left and you'll fall down.

            Hint        : A crown and a cane is needed at the 4th floor.
            Hint        : There is only one Maharito
            Balloon Ship: $40


Star Block: 28, 4
            Push this block to the left and you'll fall into the fireplace.
              Walk to the right and you'll drop down to face the first boss.
              You don't want to do this the first time through however...

The first thing to note is that the money reappears in this stage.  [page 35]
  Every time you re-enter the money you've collected will come back.  If for
  some reason you don't have enough money to buy any of the next couple of
  items just come back here to collect what you need.  Buy the Balloon Ship
  from Shop 3-c but don't fight the Boss yet.  We'll come back later on to
  do that.

Now that you have the Balloon Ship you can enter the window that takes you to
  the top of Level 1-1.  To get to this window, jump off of the ledge to the
  right and float over by holding down the A button.

            Roller Shoes: $60

Right when you enter there will be money that you want to collect.  You can
  come back and do this two more times, so you might as well do it now.
  Just go into the shop and then exit it.  You'll be out on floor 1 so
  go back to floor 3 and enter the window again.  After the last time through
  buy the Roller Shoes from the shop.

            Shoot this area and the door will appear.  If you didn't buy
              the feather just break the blocks to the right of the door.
              Now jump off the blocks and float down by holding in the
              A button.

            Hint : Watch out for a phoney princess.
            Power: $5
            Sword: $50


If after collecting all of the money from this stage you still don't have
  enough to buy the Sword, just go back to level 3-2.  Remember     [page 38]
  that riding the elevator isn't necessary.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jumping Ptyrdactal(red)

  Guess what?  This boss is exactly the same as the previous ones...You do
    have the Roller Shoes and the Balloon Ship now which is a definite
    advantage.  Jumping over the shots is easier, plus you can float down
    over multiple shots without getting hit.

  After defeating this boss you'll receive the standard crystal and then
    the Ice Bottle.  Now we can go defeat the two bird bosses in level
    3-6.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first time through we got every item but didn't go to the boss.
  Defeating him should be pretty easy now that you have the Balloon Ship,
  Sword, and Roller Shoes.  Go to the star block listed below.

Star Block: 28, 4
            Push this block to the left and you'll fall into the fireplace.
              Walk to the right and you'll drop down to face boss 3-b.

  Not much new with this boss.

  After defeating him you'll be instantly taken to level 3-6...

Work your way to the far left hand side of this stage to find the fake
  princess.  When you find her, stand on the block right above the section
  she's in to fall down.  Touch her and she'll turn into her real form, a
  bird.

As long as you constantly shoot the bird you should get rid of him pretty
  quickly.  He'll leave behind the Princess' cane which you'll need to get
  into the main boss room of floor 3.

Now it's off to the left tower.  Exit this room by walking off of the right
  side of the screen.




-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                               LEFT TOWER                           [page 46]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exit Door :  5, 0
Hudson Bee: 11, 9


This level is pretty confusing, so watch out.  You'll start out at the very
  top of the tower and work your way down.  However you don't go down one
  level at a time;  instead you skip an additional level each time.  When
  you finally reach the bottom you're taken to the second level and the
  process repeats.

I know this is weird but follow me as best as you can.  Look at the map and
  locate where you start at.  Notice that level is labeled "A".  Here's the
  order in which you'll descend:

  A - C - E - B - D - F

At level F you'll fall down through the floor and end up back at A.  But
  this level is different.  You can break the blocks above your head that
  are labeled with stars.  After breaking them, jump up towards the empty
  blocks and push yourself right off the screen.  You should now    [page 47]
  be on floor G, where you'll fall down and the next boss.

If for some reason you messed up on floor A then just go through and try
  again.  You can always die and come back in to this stage if you want.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bouncing Blue Creature

  This boss thing is getting really annoying.  On the bright side I don't
    have to write strategies for all seven bosses though...

  After beating the Blue Creature you'll be taken to level 3-6, part 2.













-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This level is exactly the same as part 1, except the boss is in a different
  location.  Go to the far right side of the stage and break the two money
  blocks in front of the princess.  Touch her to turn her into a bird and
  defeat it.

You'll receive the crown; now we can beat boss 3-d and go to the last floor!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jumping Skeletal Creature

  When I first saw this boss I thought "Wow, this guy looks different so
    maybe he'll attack different too..."  Needless to say he doesn't;  just
    use the regular strategies against him.

  Ahhh...the last boss.  Now it's time to kick Maharito's butt and get the
    castle back!











                                                                    [page 51]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This level isn't very challenging.  The first thing you'll notice is that
  there a four separate rooms that all look alike.  The only difference is
  the background color.  Three of them contain Maharito clones, and the
  last one has the real Maharito.

Go to the room with the blue background.  Defeat the bird on the left hand
  side of the screen and then move to the right.  You'll face another bird;
  beat him and break the blocks above your head.  Directly to the left
  will be Maharito's chamber!  Break the blocks off of the two columns to the
  right.  Stand in the space between them;  there will be a spring placed in
  this block so you'll be constantly bouncing.  When Maharito jumps towards
  you fire your bubbles at his chest.  The only time he's vulnerable is when
  he shoots at you.  More of your shots will hit them than his will hit you,
  so bringing him down is quite easy.

After beating him the screen will flash and you'll see the ending sequence.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
While I feel Milon Secret Castle is one of my favorite games, it certainly
  is not without it's faults.  First, after being hit by an enemy there
  is no 'invincibility period'.  So if you run into an enemy, chances are
  you'll be hit more than once.  The only way to stop taking damage is to
  move away which isn't the case for most games.  My second complaint is
  the lack of boss originality.  Three of the four bosses reappear again
  in a different color.  Also the bosses' attack patterns were really
  terrible.  Even Maharito followed the same pattern as the rest of the
  smaller bosses!  My last complaint, which is the most important, is the
  awful ending.  I won't spoil it but all I'm saying is not to expect much.
  I would have even settled for some decent credits and a cool drawing
  of Milon resting in his castle with Eliza.  Oh well, Super Mario Bros. is
  considered a classic and it's ending is no better than this one.

Other than these few complaints I enjoyed this game a lot.  Hudson Soft has
  put out some retched games before but they should be proud of this one.
