Extra Move while Performing Stunts
If you start doing a stunt or loop just before you enter the 'power loop' you still get credit for it when you complete it.
Special Times
Christmas NiGHTS changes its appearance based on the date and time. Here are a few special times to try during the winter months (November thru February):
Time Effect
3:00 am = Lunar eclipse
6:00 am = Northern Lights
7:00 am = Bright sun
9:00 am = Crescent moons
12:00 pm = Rainbows, clouds & confetti
3:00 pm = Candy
6:00 pm = Strange stars
9:00 pm = Bright stars
12:00 am = Hearts
Hide from the Alarm Egg
The Alarm Egg cannot get you if you stand on a platform which is above another area.
Hyper Jump
Jump then hit Jump before landing. While in the air from your Bounce Jump, hit Jump again. You should hear the sound that you hear when the Nightmaren take your Ideyas. Repeat this and you can reach goodies that NiGHTS can not! You can even cut across your dreams in 10 seconds flat.
Skin of Your Teeth Bonus
If you finish a Mare (enter the Ideya palace with the Ideya) when the timer is below 19, you often get a better grade than when there is a lot of time left.
Special Dates
Christmas NiGHTS changes its appearance based on the date and time. Here are a few special dates to try throughout the year:
Date Effect
12/25/1996 = Santa Claus cameo
01/01/1997 = Happy New Year message
02/14/1997 = Valentine's hearts
04/01/1997 = Play as Reala
Picture Files
If you place Christmas Nights into a PC or Mac CD-rom drive and look on the disk, you will find a folder titled 'Extra'. If you open this folder you will find two more folders titled '16m' and '256'. These two are duplicates of the other. Inside the folders you will find two BMP files that are viewable on your computer. These pictures show (Christmas) Nights, Chris and Clara.
Disable the Alarm Egg
It is possible to knock the Alarm Egg down by jumping at it. If you manage to knock it into the purple 'sea' surrounding each level, then leg it up the nearest hill, the Alarm Egg should go away for at least two minutes!
