During level generation the game will display a screen tip as a nice distraction. A tip will be picked at random from from a pool of specific categories. These tips can range from hinting at actual game mechanics/secrets to sprinkling in light lore, references and jokes.
This page will share each tip as they appear in order of the lang file, which is why some categories may feel out of order. This is for the sake of file editing as any text in-game can be appeared on PC versions. (link later)
Here is a legend for each tip category and the conditions to make them appear:

The following is a table that includes every single screen tip in the game, divided by their various categories. As a reminder all text appears fully uppercase in game, even if it's lowercase on this page or in the lang file.
A few oddities should be noted:
- The first 3 general tips appear twice, likely to double their chances of appearing.
- Yung Cuz is not a playable character, meaning his screen tips are impossible to see normally.
- If a category is empty, that means it has no screen tip. 12 Weapons, 1 Area, and 1 Crown are without.
