Unlocking the Secret Dungeon mini FAQ. There are places in the game you can accidently skip and mess up, so if you want to play the Secret Dungeon on your first playthrough, you should probably read this.
Here is how to unlock the secret dungeon if you don't want to read the whole FAQ.
Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
[
Labyrinth: In the room where Prof. Booster falls in. There is a red dot on the floor. Use the red dot as your marker to make a jump across the pit. Do not fall in or talk to booster. Do not get the Booster 0.8 item here.
Core boss fight: Before talking to Curly (the girl robot) in the room where you fight the Core boss, go to the lower right part of the room, and collect the tow. After the boss fight, tow Curly out of the room with you.
Water Stream: Make sure you get to the cabin and resuscitate Curly, and back out with you before fighting the Fish boss.
Village: Go to the teleporter room and get the Booster 2.0 item.
Plantation: Find Curly, and get her the blue mushroom from the village to restore her memory.
So basically, to unlock the secret dungeon you need to have the Booster 2.0 item and the heart locket thing Curly gives you after she regains her memories, before you reach the end of the game.

When I played that worked the first time, what happened to get it to work?

Well, I think i did it in the wrong order, i got the cure-all first, gave it to the doctor, left, and came back to find the girl was still sick. then I battled the monster x, came back another time, and still no change.
Turned out I had to talk to the doctor again AFTER i fought the monster, leave another time, and THEN come back.

At least that's how I think it worked

Yeah, this game is damned awesome. Really well constructed -- the levels just seem to really work well action wise -- and with regards to fetch quests, you don't (often, at least) get the feeling that you're wasting long amounts of time running back and forth to get items.
And though the game's difficulty level ranges from decent to insanely difficult, I didn't really feel frustrated as if I just couldn't do it. The action for me felt just right.
And the fact that the simple choices you make can affect the game's outcome -- I just find myself going back for more.

So I've run through this game twice -- first time through, I got what was probably the worst ending, relatively speaking.
Second time through, I just kind of figured the steps to the best ending with a couple subtle hints from this thread (red dot, tow cable). I beat the game with the Mimiga Mask on, then ran back through the Last Cave in reverse to get back my Booster v2.0, take off the mask, and run through the harder Last Cave and Hell. Beat it after several tries -- though, on my successful Hell run, I had to spend a good amount of time refilling my life and powering up my weapons, entering and exiting through that entrance of the third corridor. I also had to spend a bit of time gathering myself at the Statue Place. So, seeing that Time Attack of 3:30 is just incredible.
Now I guess this time, I'll run through and not forget to grab the lipstick. I'll also take the little guy with me.
Also a couple questions (prefer indirect hinting-style answers):
1) Does anything special happen if you leave Curly in the Waterway house? I'm just figuring nothing happens, since Curly doesn't have any means of escaping from there by herself -- and you just don't see her again.
2) I know the item screen says the medallion has no use -- but has anyone tried taking the Red Demon medallion back to the stone carver and noticed if anything different happens? (Is it even possible to do the hidden Last Cave in reverse? Haven't tried yet myself.) Is it even possible to get the stone carver to say anything?
