You are not restricted by the edges of the screen
If you run off the left side of the screen you will
re-appear on the right hand side of the screen. This
also works for the bottom of the play area unless it
is covered by spikes or water.
Kill all enemies for extra bonus
If you've
killed all the enemies on a level by jumping on
their heads, a credit card bonus will drop into the
play area. Pick it up for an extra 500 points.
Invincibility Bonus
This bonus coin has a
"thumbs-up" symbol on it. Collect it and you become
invincible for 10 seconds allowing you to just run
into enemies to kill them. Beware: Even with
this bonus you can still be killed by spikes or
water! Also, if you've set the difficulty level to
"Hard" in the Options menu then the invincibility
bonus will no longer be available.
Don't hang around!
If you
take too long on a level you will get a "Hurry Up"
message on the screen. After the message Colin's
arch-enemy "Flash the Cash" will appear and chase you
around the level. Flash cannot be killed and won't stop
until you've collected all the coins or lost a life.
Flash will always appear at the top of the screen so if
possible it is best to start the level by collecting all
the coins on the higher platforms.
Watch your head!
A lot of the levels are laid
out with platforms directly above each other. So be
careful when jumping as you don't want to hit an
enemy on the platform above.
Nessie helps you out!
In the Scotland levels
the Loch Ness Monster (or Nessie) cannot kill you,
but can act as an excellent way to cross the water -
just keep bouncing on her head!
Shooting Gangsters!
Look out for the
gangsters in the USA section of the game. There are
two types - the first type just walk along the
platforms, however be careful of the gangsters who
don't move. As soon as you're in their line of site
they'll start shooting.
Sand Storms
In the Egypt levels of the game
the swirling sand storms can move all over the play
area. They don't have a fixed movement and can
change direction at any time, so be careful!
No Enemies?!?
On the last level of Egypt
there are no enemies, just coins to collect. The
time limit until Flash appears is very short but try
and hang around as long as possible while avoiding
Flash - there's bonuses to collect!
Ninja's with Swords!
In the Japan levels of
the game the Ninja's will only swipe at you with
their sword if you stand within a certain distance
of them. If they miss with the sword they will
continue to walk in your direction until they can
get another attempt.
Japanese Monsters!
The large monsters in
Japan cannot be killed so don't waste a life trying.
They can be jumped over though, but only if you've
got the Super Shoes.
Robots with guns!
The robots in Japan will
only shoot at you if they are facing in your
direction. Get on a small platform above them so the
lasers can't hit you, and then drop in on them!
