Bonuses

Although you may think you are alone in this assault against the Badds, HQ is always watching you. Every so often, they send you little parachute packages when the going gets tough. If you hit the package with your arm or shoot it, its contents will fall to the ground. There are several things that can come out of the package; some of them are better than others, but all of them are good. Here is the complete list:

Probably the most important item in the game is the bullet canister. The more of these you pick up the more hit points you'll get. Although the bonus package only drops one, remember that every little bit counts. You also get one of these when you kill an enemy soldier. When you get enough you will hear a sound and a green circle will appear on the top left of the screen. This counts as a free hit. You can have a total of 8 of these free hits.

Getting medicine from a package is like using it as an item. The medicine fills all your empty life points, which is a great refresher.

The only place you'll ever see a Pow bonus is from a bonus package (in the American version of the game that is.) When you pick it up, a ball of energy will spin around you, damaging everything it hits. This is a really cool bonus, but it only lasts for a short while.

Pretty straightforward. You get an extra life. Not a bad deal if you ask me!
