Other secret characters in MD2/MD3:(posted 9008 days ago)MD2: See those numbers on each of the characters? In increasing order, push your down key on each of them, then play as Empress (or Strength, or Devil).
MD3: For those of you who have read the original source of how to do the double-drop trick (meh), you'll have seen the table of numbers for each of the characters. Otherwise...
Move to either Devil (15) or Star (17), and press C three times when the timer reaches that number. (It works for all of the other characters, except for World [21], but I'm going with the two easiest ways to get into this.) Six characters will be added: Moon, Tower, Fortune, Hanged Man, Temperance, and Hermit. (Most people will have played against Hermit, Temperance, Tower, and Fortune. I've made it up against Moon a few times, and I don't know of anyone who's gone up against Hanged Man, although with some of the recordings Aaron's been doing recently, I wouldn't be surprised if he has.)
I used to play with Empress on MD2 and Moon on MD3. (I think Moon is cute... but not nearly as cute as Macky from Twinkle Star Sprites.)
