Activate level select

Hello there !

In this game, the level select menu is quite well hidden... so I will explain how to activate and use it. It can be useful if you want to work your IL runs ;)

First, go to OPTIONS and then COLOR TEST.
In that screen, change the values at the top left corner like this :

Return to the main menu, and go to STAGE SELECT :

There is how you can go to a specific level :
-> the main 5 worlds are pretty easy to access, no need to explain how to get there ;)
-> to access "Isolated Island" levels, use TRAINING and levels 1-4
-> to access the Final Boss, use WORLD ENTRANCE, level 2
-> you cannot access to "Introduction" level (1-4 only represents each part of this level). This means the only way to play the entire level is to begin a normal game  :(

Good luck !
