Showcase a map of the different areas of the game and locations of items, along with some basic knowledge about the gameplay.
 
 

Introduction

First of all, I can’t stress this enough, the game is short enough for you to discover it by yourself.
 
You’ll have it finished in a couple hours by taking your time, and maybe an additional playthrough after you discover how to be worthy. The game is voluntarily not telling you in clear way what to do, where to go and that’s for a reason, it’s quite rewarding to actually figure everything out by yourself up until the very end.
 
Come back to this guide if:
 

  • something you’re having trouble to understand;
  • you get lost;
  • you want to get most achievements.

This guide will basically spoil all the content there is in this game so be warned.
 
 
 

Basics

Saves

 
Super Skelemania - Survival and Completion Guide - Basics - D6B72F5There are 2 savefile slots you can load or erase anytime.
 
There are basically a couple ways you can save the game:
 

  • hit the bell in the dedicated bell rooms;
  • change zones (going through a door will act the as hitting a bell and save the game).

 

Health

 
Super Skelemania - Survival and Completion Guide - Basics - 236CD53You have 3 health points, a single health point lets you get hit 2 times.
 
When you die you go back to the place you last saved, see above.
 
You can regenerate health points in several ways:
 

  • sometimes enemies loot an orb, hit that orb 3 times to regenerate one health point;
  • go hit a bell to save game, restores full health;
  • collect a health pick-up, restores full health;
  • kill a boss, restores full health.

The End

 
If after wandering for hours you still don’t understand what you are meant to do and how to finish the game.
 
Not spoiling the last cutscene, you have to use the last skill “Blast” you get, outdoor.
 
Super Skelemania - Survival and Completion Guide - Basics - 30D4E6BTo get this skill you first have to hit all the 5 gongs present in each area of the game to unlock the second and last boss in the “Dead Jungle” zone.
 
Once the boss is beaten, reach for the Blast skill and go back to the starting hub in order to use it outdoor.
 
 
Though depending on the way you complete those task, there’s something else you can unlock, more details in the achievements section.

Skin Get!

 
Super Skelemania - Survival and Completion Guide - Achivements - 44B94EEBEFORE HITTING ANY GONG.
 
First you could head to the door not link to other areas in the Red Jungle, you need “Dash” to break rocks.
 
 
Then you should head to the “Library” (self-named by myself) the question mark on the map of the Sanctum. There you will find 5 pictures which are hints about how to get WORTHY OF SKIN.
 
 
The 5 hints point to each gong, however, each gong is assigned a letter.
 
With those 5 letters you can spell the word H-U-M-A-N, which gives you the order in which to hit the gong.
 
 
Super Skelemania - Survival and Completion Guide - Achivements - 6612FE6
 
After you hit all 5 gongs in the correct order, just go back to the area I mentioned in the Red Jungle, you should arrive in a different area than before which has the Skin pickup at the end.
 
I don’t think there’s a way to actually keep the Skin, in Steam discussions the developer mentioned it was a red herring from previous games. 😀
