Hint: Earn Demon Fangs

Demon Fangs can be used as currency to purchase some of the best items in the game. Here are the methods by which you can collect them.

Finishing Moves: After defeating an enemy, it'll hurl upwards in a slow motion death throw. Execute the right brush technique on the enemy during this animation to earn a demon fang. For imps, perform a Power Slash. For bud ogres, perform Bloom.
Well-Timed Counter: When you're able to equip a reflector instrument as a secondary weapon, you can perform counters on enemies as they attack you. If your timing is perfect, you'll earn a demon fang.
Golden Fury: Use the Golden Fury attack--learned from the sensei in Shinshu Field--to knock out one demon fang from each enemy you fight.
Load Screens: During load screens, press X to earn fangs. On screens with paw prints along the bottom, tap X in time with the paws that appear (making them larger). On screens with prints in the center, mash X rapidly to fill the screen with 50 prints to earn a demon fang.

Hint: Pee on Your Enemies

Purchase the Golden Fury attack from the sensei at Shinshu Field. The move costs 100,000 Yen, but it's well worth it--Golden Fury lets you pee on your opponents for damage.

Hint: Instant Kill Parry Attack

When you first get the Devout Beads divine instrument, set them as your primary weapon and move your reflector to your secondary weapon. You can then perform a parry move by pressing TRIANGLE during combat. Time the parry just before an enemy attack hits you and you'll counter with a pile driver that kills many enemies instantly.

Hint - Blockhead Points

Here is some vital info to avoid hours of frustration on Blockheads:

Hit the points in order (i.e., in the order they appear). You can use a dry erase marker to number the spots, or you can imagine a four by four grid on the painting screen --

-------------------------
|  0  |  1  |  2  |  3  |
-------------------------
|  4  |  5  |  6  |  7  |
-------------------------
|  8  |  9  |  A  |  B  |
-------------------------
|  C  |  D  |  E  |  F  |
-------------------------

-- and each of the brush points are in one of those cells, so if you dot the center of that imaginary grid cell, you successfully "hit" that point.

Hint - Money & Fangs

You have to have the Golden Fury for max demon fangs. When you are in the room with the bell but before you find all of the ingredients for Orochi's appetizer you can headbutt the bell and a blue demon carpet will appear.

Enter it and face one black imp and two red imps. Power slash the black imp's skulls, hit him once, use Golden Fury for the first demon fang then dispatch him and use power slash when he is in his dying animation for 3 more fangs. Repeat on the red imps for two more demon fangs a piece. You can quickly rack up eight fangs plus anywhere from 2000 to 3000 gold each time (or until you are bored)

Hint - Susano & Kushui Aftermath

Ever wonder where Susano and Kushi got to during the festival? Well if you find them, Susano will praise you and call you his buddy or brother. Heres how you find the couple:

1) It has to be during the festival, after you defeat Orochi.

2) Go to the sacred tree in Kamiki Village. Go inside there and find where you got your cut technique. The cave where a giant statue of Susano's ancestor is. Where you had to in the sword.

3) The couple will be standing in front of the statue. There may be hearts coming from their head. If you talk to them they will begin to mummble in embarrasment.
