So I recently cleared this game and have been playing it all week. Someone pointed out to me that on Replay Burners the player gets a 1UP on stage 1 I wasn't aware of. I knew about the timed button press 1UP's in stage 4 and 7 but had no idea about this one.
So I tried it myself and it works which got me excited. I reverse engineered the game and was able to find the routine where the check occurs to see if you're in the spot for the 1UP and there are actually 3 more in stages 2, 4, and 6.
You need to have less than 3 bars of health, be within 9x9 pixels of a specific position and neutral jump in place to uncover them.
The other thing I found was just random dumb luck. I was playing and I uncovered a hidden Santa item when I was trying to 1CC the game with Super Geon. I went back to the game in MAME and checked and I could get it every time. It was a neat easter egg the developers put in that's extremely obscure to get. You have to once again be within 9x9 pixels of a specific potion and taunt on the spot. Easiest way to taunt is to do a powerup attack and land it on the boss.. If you do it correctly you get a developer portrait (that changes depending on which character you're using) that each cause a random status effect to your character (but do no damage). Some even refill your life to full!
25 years later and still finding new things, it was really exciting uncovering this.
TL;DR I located secret 1UP's in stage 1, 2, 4, and 6 and also found easter eggs located in every stage.
Here's a video that I made demonstrating it all, I hope you guys enjoy:
