Some more discoveries:
1. The Pineapple pushes bombs away from it when it stops. This is very annoying if the pineapple is in angry mode.
2. You can kick two pear bombs with one kick, but not three.

Just some little cautionary notes that I didn't heed and lost a few lives.

Pineapple + Pear = evil Because the pineapple also kicks the pear's bombs away - and if the pear's bomb is above the pineapple, it is kicked upward to the place where I stood (maybe a week ago, but it was a really good kill...)

I have a theory, that it is a grater chance to get , and to use them in PD 6.1 if you have less items unblocked in the fridge. However I haven't confirmed it yet. Trying on the Spanish server. *finger crossed*

Of course, the chance is better, but the items don't get more useful that way

Even if you get the items you won't be able to pass 6.1. You need at least a and something more, to be able to go through the ceiling (like in that movie).

yea if u get at lvl 51.10 u wont advance to 51.12.
u only advance to 51.11 which is when u get the gemstone

What happens if you get an umbrella on the last level of a PD (or right before a fork in the road) ?

It does not do anything. It just says "Beaming up is at present impossible".
And if you get an umbrella that would make you skip a boss level, it takes you only to that level.

More discoveries this week, which are probably already known. But just in case!

reveals the order for killing enemies for the large crystal. The first one becomes the blue crystal, the second green, the third red, and so on. Might be slightly useful if it happens to appear on a level where no one knows the order yet. (I assume that transforming the enemies in Ninjutsu mode works the same way, although it would be harder to tell where the skull-marked enemy fits in the sequence.)

If you freeze an enemy right before a special item kills it, you'll get a normal blue crystal instead of a diamond. I've seen it happen with and so far.

It's possible to complete CRISTAL without ending the level. Just today, I grabbed the letter I right as the last enemy (a big apricot) fell offscreen, gained a life, and got a head-start on the next CRISTAL by collecting another I prior to knocking off the two little ones. I wasn't expecting it, so I wasn't paying close attention to the timing, but I'd guess that taking the last letter after big apricot falls offscreen but before its little ones appear is probably the key.

starts at green, actually. But great discovery (and the few levels whose orders we don't know are listed on my sheet, fyi, just in case).

I have seen that happen with as well. Every now and then, it will just give me a blue crystal instead of , seemingly out of nowhere. Sometimes I don't think I have even touched the enemy within the last few moments. Maybe this has multiple causes ?

It has been discovered (I learned from pigletto) that you can obtain both CRISTAL and the small crystals (as well as large crystal if you killed in order) on any level, provided you have precise timing. Obviously it works differently with apricots, but it is the same basic principle. The letter has to be picked up after the enemy dies but before it leaves the screen. (In most cases this is only one frame, unless you are using black bombs, , etc.) See the discussion here.
