Spectre wizards: Map 0, -3 has some stairs on the bottom, on the the left side. That will bring you to a frustrating maze! There are some pink mages here, but they are NOT spectre mages. When you make your way through to the stairs in the bottom left corner that leads you to the spectre mages. They look like shadows that you can see through, so very distinctive.

SS mushies: (Hey, I'm SS!

) On map -1, -3 there is an island. When you first walk on that map go to the top and you will see stairs. Those stairs bring you through a twisting path, but there's really just one way through. When you come out the next steps the mushies spawn right around where you come out.
