Here I'll be posting some tips, such as revealing some of the heroes' hidden abilities, but feel free to post your own tips too!

Some hero specific tips...

• Penelope Pixel - can walk on spikes and land on most enemies' heads
  
• Mr. Kung Fu - has three special moves; up, down, action (spin kick), forward, forward, action (fireball), and down, forward, action (dragon punch)
  
• Simon Borg - his arm can be used as a weapon
  
• Amira Of Arabia - can grab ledges and haul herself up
  
• Bones - can collect coins with his whip
  
• Retro Reptile - can eat just about anything, including elevators and bosses!
  
• Power Jose - can aim his hose downwards to boost himself upwards, and he can also use it to extinguish flames (as you'd expect)
  
• MK Twice - sometimes you're better off without your partner...
  
• Mighty Mite - impervious to spikes
  
• Glass Girl - can slide down walls to slow her descent
  
• Ian Error - has a 10% chance of instantly completing the level upon dying
  
• The Enemy - can walk past other enemies without being troubled
  
• The Neutron Bros - can telefrag enemies
  
• Digipunch - can smash through walls when powered up; you'll need to kill several enemies first. Can also pass through lasers with his attack.
  
• Captain President - push down and action to place the Stars and Strips, making him briefly invulnerable once per level
  
• Techno Tank - his turret can be rotate by holding up or down
  
• Dino Pop - her bubbles can be used as platforms
  
• Lord Fistycuffs - can be wound up more quickly by moving the analog stick or d-pad in circles
  
• Disco - Disco's frisbee can be used as a platform when embedded in a wall
  
• Dr. Blocktopus - his blocks can stop lasers and redirect enemies
  
• Captain Colossus - the distance he throws his dynamite is determined by how long you hold the 'action' button
  
• Saxy Dave - you can use his sax as a weapon by holding 'forward' when attacking
  
• Madge D'usa - enemies frozen by Madge Dusa are harmless and can be used as platforms

That's great to hear, thanks! I'm sure there's a few other things I've forgotten too, and some that I've yet to discover!

Digipunch can use his charge punch to travel through lasers unharmed, Technotank's turret can be rotated 360 degrees by holding up.

Ah nice, I didn't know that about Digi Punch!

Dino Pop's bubbles can be used as platforms, Lord Fisticuffs can wind himself faster if you mash the left and right keys.

Oh yeah, I'd totally forgotten about those - just added them to the list, thanks. :)

Dr. Blocktopus' blocks can stop lasers and redirect enemies, Captain Colossus' dynamite distance is based on how long you hold X for. He can also crawl by using the downward diagonals. Saxy Dave can use his sax as a weapon by using forward and X. Enemies frozen by Madge Dusa are harmless and can be used as platforms

Thanks Asad, great tips!

If you get 88 coins before any hero has died, you'll go back to zero coins and won't get a credit to bring a new hero back to lfie or anything like that, so best to hold off just shy of 88 coins until someone dies.

Guess I've got a few things to add: Shield maiden gets a super jump if she actions while holding z. Boomstick benny can shoot enemies through walls. Fly guy can climb walls and puke off of them. And I hate to admit it, but Simon Borg can actually be useful with his grappling hook if you get the timing right... he can cross large rooms along the ceiling, as long as the ceiling is high enough.
