Get the goat to tag along and go to the screen west of the clover patch. Click the carrot on Graham. Be sure to save your game beforehand and make sure not to stand too much to the bottom or top of the screen. The goat, annoyed by Graham eating his carrot, will push him over the edge.

Read the note you found in the gingerbread house repeatedly. There's a chance of 1 in 15 that a different message will appear. "All your base are belong to us" (often shortened to "All Your Base", "AYBABTU", or simply "AYB") is an Engrish (broken English) phrase that became an Internet phenomenon or meme. The text comes from the opening cut scene of the 1991 European Sega Mega Drive version of the video game Zero Wing by Toaplan, which was poorly translated from the original Japanese version.

Knock on the door in the mountainside. If nothing happens, leave the screen, re-enter and knock again. At one point the door will open and Leisure Suit Larry will appear. This is the rarest Easter egg in the game and has a VERY slight chance of occurring.

Look at the smoke coming from the cauldron in the gingerbread house. The face of a monster will appear for a moment. This one also existed in the previous version of the game.
