This will contain spoilers, obviously, so don’t look at this guide unless you’ve beaten the game or at least tried to find things out yourself.

How to Unlock All Secrets
So while the secrets within this guide aren’t the hardest things to find. It will make things a whole lot easier regardless if you have found yourself stuck on just where a certain something could be. I’ll try to put the more spoilerly things down at the very end. I’ll even have a video upload at the bottom if for some reason you need a much more visual guide.

New Game Secrets
Lonesome Serval Mode
Get to the difficulty selection screen after selecting New Game and press Right Movement Key/Direction x10. If done right you should see Another Serval on the left of the screen. Selecting the difficulty after that will allow you to play as Another Serval in a short story.
Minmi Statue Addition
Get to the difficulty selection screen after selecting New Game and press Left Movement Key/Direction x10. If done right you will hear a noise and see the statues appear. After selecting a difficulty, the hub should have the statues automatically. Doing a new Lonesome Serval after activating will allow you to have the statues in her level. Does not work when loading a previous save file.
Debug Room
Japari Library (Hub)
Not sure when it unlocks, let us just say after getting 100% or maybe after beating the game. Using the Lithograph of Guidance should make it easier to find, just jump into the area to make the entrance appear.
Lonesome Serval Hub
Probably after beating Lonesome Serval it should spawn. Using Lithograph of Guidance should make it easier to find, but it is higher up compared to regular. You will have to climb the tree and jump all the way up in the corner to get the entrance to spawn. Going into it allows Another Serval to enter the Library, however aside from letting you play the base story as Another Serval, nothing unique happens.
100% Secrets
Left Hand of Explosive Joy
Going into the Golden Statue’s Left hand causes a bomb to spawn. It will hurt you even if Kaban is summoned.
Right Hand of Creation
Going into the Golden Statue’s Right hand causes the 3D Bag to spawn. A usable item.
Empty Head of Sugoi
Going onto the head of the Golden Statue will display a search command. Hitting confirm and yes will allow you to use Cerval mode whenever you activate Wild Release. Going back and doing the same thing will allow you to turn it off.
Optional Video
I rant a good amount in this video about stuff. So if you don’t want my stupid ramblings about the game, don’t watch it or just mute the volume. I only made the video as a better visual form of certain things, but I don’t explain /everything/ this game has to offer like in the guide.
I’ve been told how to get the dance now.
Overall everything is pretty simple. If you needed the guide, don’t feel bad about it as the Hidden Bosses part was tricky to figure out in the past for me when the only optional boss was Dark Serval. I don’t think Sticky Capsule was even a thing back then, so it took even more time to figure this out as I just rushed through stuff a bunch. Hope this guide was simple enough to follow and helped you out plenty.
Slight correction to add on, to destroy the dummy you just need to deal 10k damage with one attack. This can be done by building up enough speed with the bus, using the pile attack or judgment with true wild release, or most easily with Brown Bear’s strongest bear stamp. You don’t need to summon as many friends as you can.
Great guide though, helped me out a ton.
