Guitar Guy
Where to find



In the Future ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ level, play normally until you reach the part with the flickering red and blue platforms. Instead of going up and left just go to the right and follow the path.

After you jumped over a few lasers and blocks you'll find him siting behind the couch. Walk up to him to unlock him.

Stats

  • Runs fast
  • Jumps are lower than the Nerd's
  • Attack spreads
  • Attack goes through walls

Strategy

Guitar Guy is really useful to defeat enemies tucked away behind corners and walls. Since his weapon's projectile spreads a bit he's also really great at dealing with many enemies at once, especially during the flying sections of the game.

He's also useful during many boss fights because his projectiles spread and travel slowly. Even if you just concentrate on dodging the enemy will eventually be caught in the spam and take damage.

Other than that he's a good choice in sections where you have to wait for Skull Blocks to pop up and go away. He runs faster, so have more time to react than with other characters.
Mike
How to unlock



In the Dungeons & ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ level, play normally until you reach a red wall next to a ladder. Switch to Guitar Guy to shoot a small switch behind the wall which will make it go up.

Follow the newly opened way, dodge a few fire balls and you'll find Mike.



Stats

  • Can see breakable blocks
  • Can destroy blreakable blocks
  • Can see hidden platforms
  • Can stand on hidden platforms
  • Jumps higher than any other character
  • Short ranged, low damage attack


Strategy

Only use him to find secrets and to do tough jumps. His short ranged attack does not stun lock enemies, so they'll walk right through him. Especially on higher difficulties this is fatal most of the time.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Man
Where to find



In Beat it & Eat it, play until you find a dead end with a ladder leading down. Switch to Mike and break the blocks on the right.



Go through the corridor and you'll unlock ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Man.


Stats

  • Slowest character
  • Lowest jumps
  • Double jump (jump again mid-air)
  • Slightly arched projectile
  • High damage per shot


Strategy

This character kills both enemies and bosses really fast, but since he is not very mobile and can't move while shooting, make sure that you won't be hit if you use him. He can also reach certain secret locations to find Cameos.

My favourite thing about this guide is the amount of censorship thanks to all the great names. Gotta love AVGN! Thanks for the guide.
