Every two levels, a shopkeeper will walk in from the top of the screen and offer three upgrades to you. You can purchase one per shopkeeper appearance, and each upgrade will last until game over. You pay for these upgrades with coins dropped from enemies, which come in 1x and 5x denominations, the 5x coins being very rare.

* Once the player finds enough [[museum#books|lost books]], a book will be available in the northern end of the [[museum|library]] that reads, <blockquote>''"Journey of the Prairie King -- The Smash Hit Video Game! Did you know? Anyone who beats ' Journey of the Prairie King' is automatically entered into a drawing for a special prize! Did you know? The developer has stated that the protagonist is based on a real-life character... A true cowboy hero from a prairie-island in the Gem Sea!"''</blockquote>

* (unconfirmed) There is a bug in the game that prevents player progression under certain circumstances: If the nuke power-up is used during the first boss fight, the enemy will vanish from the screen but the stage will not end. This can only be escaped by closing Stardew Valley and restarting it.
