The player starts out as a ship fighting over North America. Capsules are shot from the ground, that when shot open contains either a ship upgrade or powerup. Transformation - The very first item that comes out of the capsule is an upgrade that transforms the ship into a flying robot that has a shield. This shield can take a few hits before transforming back into a ship. - With each upgrade the robot transforms and gains a different type of weapon. - Pressing button 2 (B) will let the Robot use his shield to block shots head on. Power ups - After shooting the capsule open, if they player shoots again the ship upgrade will change to a power up. - Power ups include bonus points, stopping enemies for a certain amount of time, and becoming indestructible for a limited amount of time. During this indestructible phase, the ship/robot cannot shoot but can fly into enemies for tremendous amounts of points. Less
