I like to use the elf so I can take off when the enemies get too thick hee hee. I can't explan the fun of unlocking a wall that holds 1000 zombies then running away as the other players get pummelled. Or even better yet unlocking a couple of Death's and letting the rest of the group deal with them as you grab the treasure! Joy.
There are many magic items that can be quite useful such as; invisibility, rapid shot & nuke potions to name a few. There are many treasure chests and piles of food waiting for you as well. TIP: As you know by now the elf is the quickest of the bunch and thats handy when everyone is dashing for the good stuff! I must warn you however that the elf is'nt the sturdiest character so beware! Also if you have a MAX controler or any controler that has turbo shot on it then use it to avoid hand cramps :) You should be able to find this game at any Funcoland for two or three bucks. While your there get a MAX controler, its only two bucks.In order to ply four plyer mode you will need a NES Four Score, you should be able to get it for a $1.50 at you know where.
