clear reference to the 52nd Governor of New York, Mario Cuomo. Or Super Mario.
Your call!


Abilities:
----------
The following items can be unlocked by performing the actions below:

* Climb Leap Ability - Complete Rosa's mission "Monkey See, Monkey Do" in Sequence
7 to earn the climb leap ability. With this ability, you can make longer jumps
while climbing, letting you grab hand holds that'd normally be out of reach.

* Disarm Combat Technique - Complete Mario's "Evasive Maneuvers" mission in Sequence
5 to unlock the disarm technique. Disarms let you counter incoming attacks from
weapons that are normally too heavy to counter (like axes).


Equipment:
----------
The following items can be unlocked by performing the actions below:

* Condottiero War Hammer - Collect 50 hidden feathers and the Condottiero War
Hammer will become available in the blacksmith's shop in the Villa Monteriggioni.

* Auditore Cape - Collect 100 hidden feathers and then talk to Mario in the Villa
Monteriggioni. He'll award you the Auditore Cape.


Free Medicines and Throwing Knives:
-----------------------------------
If you've got room in your inventory for more medicines or throwing knives, loot
dead bodies and you'll occasionally find these items for free.


Spear & Axe Reclamation:
------------------------
* When countering enemies with the axe or spear, Ezio will lose the weapon as it
will be impaled or buried in the target.
* You can easily reclaim the weapon by picking up the corpse and dropping it. The
weapon embedded in the dead body will pop back out for re-use.


From the Deep:
--------------
In Santa Maria Delle Visitazione, in the Assassin's Tomb, you'll come across a large
flooded room just before one of the Armor of Altair seals. Pull the lever and peer
into the water. Wait a minute or so and you'll see a shadow below. Pull the lever
again and peer into the murky depths once more and a tentacle will reach out to grab
(and miss) Ezio.


Mario Quote:
------------
When you are escorting Maria and Claudia to the villa, you will eventually be ambushed
by Pazzi and his men. You are rescued by your Uncle Mario, and when you first talk to
him he says "Don't you recognize me? Its-a me, Mario!"


Broom Hammer:
-------------
If you come across a man who is sweeping the street, knock him over or throw him so he
drops his broom. you are able to then pick up the broom with B and use it as a weapon.
it's attacks are that of a blunt weapon. you can also do this with farmer's garden hoes.
