sorry for reviving this. Didn't have time to try this earlierÂ

Anyway, I can't find the mentioned hard mode. I have all 31 treasures. I tried starting a new game, but no difficulty option was available

Actually, you also need the Proof of Mastery item that you can get in the tutorial level's secret room. Here's how you get it:
First, you need to unlock level 3 codes by setting the 2nd number to 8, the 4th number to 2, the 1st number to 3 and the 3rd number to 5 in that order, making the code 3852.
Once that's done, you can now enter the code 7073 which give you the Proof of Mastery.

After you get that item, go back to the file select screen and hold down both L and R while pressing Start to enter Hard mode. Be prepared thought, the game gets really hard from there as you die with just one hit.

Thanks a lot. Succesfully entered hard mode, but

and I mean

Okay, I could have found the secret room on my own.. but the codes? Hints in the game? The manual?
