Here is a list of secret moves in the game not mentioned:

• Cartwheel:With Roberta,hold L2 and push the left analog stick sideways Then,press X while running.Hurray!You did a cartwheel!
• Complex Jump Attack landing with a spin attack:Quite hard.First,with Tor, do a jump attack,but spin in the air(spin with the left analog stick).Then,while landing, spin another 360 or so and then attack.It takes practice.
• Jump on the bed:With Tor or Roberta, find the nearest bed(in act three you can do Brightvale Castle)Go onto the bed, and hold L2.Then go a little foward, and press X.It doesn't look like much,but hey,it's something.
• Backward Flip:With Roberta,hold L2 and go backwards with the analog stick. Then jump.
• Eyeview of a petpet:This is very simple.Let your left analog stck go up, and the right one go down.Vise versa for the eyeview of a crokabek.

The Darkest Faerie
The Darkest Faerie used to be one of the twelve heroes of Altador.She was thought to be the most powerful, because Kelland (another hero of Altador) suggested she would be immortal, because she was a faerie.But power got into her head and made plans to erase the memory of Altadorians so she can be known as the only founder. She had to destroy the other heroes in the process, but if it wasn't for Jerdana (hero of Altador) she would have been ruling Neopia right now.She was banished as a statue beneath the maraquan sea as a result.

Mysteries & Answers
I have done research on the latest screenshots and reviews, and I have found many myserties, and many answers. The information here may shock you, or answer most of your glitch questions.

Mystery&Answer #1:
How can Tormund and Roberta have the latest upgrades when battling the black knight, when the total cost of all of them is nearly ###np?
Answer:This one got me confused.But follows is a quote from abby-cheat.com:

Unlimited Neopoints:
First, you go to Bogshot. When go to the place with lilypads, find the thing that looks like a dam & jump on it then jump on the land in front of it. Next, cross the lilypads in the direction you are facing then go across the bridge to where the bubbles are. Jump into the sinkhole then walk untill you find the first sludgie. Kill it, and repeat the process as many times as needed. Note:You need great agility to do this and you have to climb out of the sinkhole then go back in the SAME place to do it again. Submitted by: scorcher9910

So, you have to make unlimited neopoints in order to buy all of those upgrades early.

Mystery #2:I see in the trailler, it shows Roberta jumping over purple electric lines.When and how do you do that?
Answer:I know that Roberta is doing a cartwheel, which you hold L2 and jump sideways to do.But I don't know when you do that.My theory is that when you help save Brightvale (this DOES happen, just deliver all Market Town packages) and you go under the castle of some sort.If someone knows how to save Brightvale, please neomail me.
UPDATE:van_ang_smartie101 has just saved Brightvale, and she says she never saw purple electric lines.So then maybe it's a glitch?

Myserty #3
In the screenshots of some fan sites, it shows Tormund and Roberta with diffrent upgrades, ones that aren't even in the game!Where do you buy them?
Answer:I really don't know.Possible glitch, or when TNT was making screenshots, they probably chose random upgrades.

Review Quotes&Ratings
The basic gameplay in Neopets: The Darkest Faerie is to get from point A to B safely, fetch something and then deliver it to point C. This type of gameplay bores easily and combined with the poor control and combat systems, Neopets: The Darkest Faerie can get frustrating at times. Younger players can find the fetching and backtracking gameplay somewhat interesting, but even for them there's a point when enough is enough. Grabbing random items and delivering them to random people to advance the story will not keep players interested in Neopets: The Darkest Faerie.

Another technical deficiency rears its head randomly throughout the game in the form of load times. While you're prancing around the various environments, it's not uncommon for there to be a several-second pause as more of the environment loads. Considering how far games have come with streaming, this is pretty unforgivable. There's nothing complicated happening onscreen and there's certainly no reason to wait for it.

The story begins with Tormund Ellis (nicknamed "Tor"), a young Lupe who has long dreamed of being a knight in the city of Meridell. After being accepted into the ranks and training under the discipline of the castle's master-at-arms, Tormund is soon knighted. But when answering a plea to defend the nearby forest glade of Illusen, the earth faerie, from an invading tribe of Werelupes, the mission fails, and Tormund returns to Meridell to discover both it and its inhabitants under a cloud of dark magic and the control of the Darkest Faerie. Though unaffected himself, he is driven out of the castle and city by the faerie's minions.

The neighboring kingdom of Brightvale notices the dark clouds, and sends a diplomatic envoy to the city of Faerieland, home to the Faerie queen Fyora, to investigate. A young Acara, Roberta, the niece of Brightvale king Hagan, is among the diplomats. The Darkest Faerie attacks Faerieland that night, capturing and binding the Faerie queen and covering the castle in a dark aura. Roberta is able to escape the castle but is pursued and falls to the countryside of Neopia below.

Roberta and Tormund meet each other and then proceed to warn the king of Brightvale about the Faerie. It is revealed that both were given amulets to protect against the Darkest Faerie's power, and upon research discover that the Darkest Faerie was once seale away by the power of Fyora's magical rod, now lying deep underneath the city of Meridell. After freeing the neighboring regions from control of dark magic, they are able to infiltrate the castle of Meridell and find a way deep underground, recovering Fyora's ancient rod. With its power they are able to drive the darkness out of the city, and then return to Faerieland to stop the Darkest Faerie. It is a trap, however, as the Darkest Faerie seizes the rod and a fight between the two Faeries ensues. Fyora is able to teleport Tormund and Roberta to safety before being captured and imprisoned again.

It is learned that Tormund and Roberta have been transported out of time itself into a legendary city called "Altador", allegedly destroyed by the Darkest Faerie a millenium ago. There they set out to free the city's four greatest founders, each of which is revealed to have helped them in some way earlier, before freeing the founders' leader, an Aisha known as Jerdana, who fashions them a magical amulet capable of sealing away the Darkest Faerie. Tormund and Roberta together are teleported back to Faerieland, and do battle against the Darkest Faerie. They ultimately seal her with Jerdana's amulet, turning the Faerie to stone once again, and freeing the Faerie queen Fyora in the process. They are given thanks by the faerie queen and founders of Altador, and the Darkest Faerie's frozen form is kept in the kingdom of Faerieland where it can be monitored.
