You can enter almost any building and each character has eight different hair-styles available at the barbershop

The Protagonists:

Clint: Does not get bitten by snakes.
Esmaralda: Does not get bitten by spiders.
Felipe: Has a short-sword, rather than a knife (Longer stab-range).
Ma' Belle: Able to take two arrows, before dying.
Mercedes: Gets 2 jump-boots, rather than one, on pickup.
Rose: Jumps higher than everyone else.
Santiago: Fires faster than the others.
Zeke: Has penetrating bullets that will kill all enemies in one shot.
Zorra: Double jump and faster than the rest. (Cannot pick up other weapons)

The Enemies:

Ndyan - Bow: If quick enough, you can shoot his arrows.
Ndyan - Spear: This guy takes 2 bullets before going down. Long reach in melee, but no ranged weapons.
Ndyan - Tomahawk: Keep track of his bounce and beware, it will take you 4 bullets to kill him off for good.
Sherif && Sherif Twin: Fast draw, quick-shooter. Careful with shooting hitting their bullets. The sherif and his Twin will take 3 shots each to kill. Killing one will resurrect the other.
Robot: Made of indestructible material and fires lasers. Bullets will ricochet right off of these guys; Your best bet is to jump over him.
Zombies: These undead cowboys can take 5 bullets before going down, becoming slower by each hit. Stabbing will instantly kill them, however.
Snakes: Sometimes easy to spot, sometimes hidden in the undergrowth. Their venomous bite will poison the player, giving them one minute to find a anti-venom.

Spiders & Bats: These will stun the player for a few seconds. If however the player has been bitten by a snake previous, then they will be instantly killed.
Ooze: This will slow you down for a few seconds, while decreasing your jump.
Tentacle: These will slow you down.
Boulders: On certain levels there are boulders coming down from the mountains above. You can stab these, or try to jump them, else instant death.
Vultures: These will carry off with you, enemies as well as gold-bars.

Cavalry:
Shooting the bell on any level (difficulty-level Medium/Hard will spawn the Cavalry.)
Shot-gun Bill: A bit slow, but fires scattering bullets.
Long-Range Joe: Slow reload, but far reaching bullets.
Pete the Pistoleer: Fires his pistol at a rapid rate.
Sarge: Boosts morale of the others. (Hard)
Noah the Trumpeter: As long as Pete is alive, whenever there are less than 50% of Cavalry remaining, they will respawn. (Hard)

Gold-bars: These are what you want. Get all 12 to win the level.

Boots: Double-jump.
Anti-venom: Negates snake-bite.
Ammo: More ammunition for your guns.

The Guns:

The Pistol: Medium range, medium speed, fist-sized bullets.
