Several hidden minigames can also be unlocked as well: "The 4th Survivor" featuring HUNK and its spoof/harder version "The Tofu Survivor". A ranking system has been implemented in which the player is graded based not only on the amount of time taken to complete the game, but also on the number of times the game was saved and the number of first-aid sprays used. Similarly to the original game, the player is awarded with unlockable weapons and other bonuses after completing a scenario under certain requirements. There are four scenarios, with two for each character. In addition, one character also has access to one area in their "B" game that they normally would not have access to. Actions taken by the player during the first scenario affects the player's surroundings during the second scenario.
