New Game
     When  you beat the game watch through the ending/credits and when
the  word  "Fin"  pops up hit A and you will be prompted to save. When
you save there will now be a star to the right of the file. Reload the
file    you    will    start    a    new    game    with    all   your
equipment/characters/levels  and  if  you  had  any  blue  hearts  for
characters  they  will  turn  back  to  red. A bonus area will also be
unlocked north of where you start off.
