=>[Burger Time] Cheat Death: If you die just as the final burger in the level
is completed and drops into place, you'll start your death animation but
revive for the victory animation. The next level will begin and you won't
lose a life!
You may later see Game Over flash on the screen should you lose the lives
you had left when this trick was performed.
=>[Burger Time] Extra Points: If you kill multiple enemies with a single
dropped burger item, you'll receive additional points. If you manage to get
all the enemies walking together (try tossing pepper at a few to slow them
down, so that they revive when another enemy passes by), you can chain your
kills. Kill all the enemies together on the first two screens for a 4,000
point bonus; kill them all on the later screens for a 16,000 point bonus.
=>[Burnin' Rubber] Extra Lives: An extra live is award for each 30,000 points
you receive.
=>[Burnin' Rubber] Bonus Points: Complete a level without destroying any
cars or trucks and you'll receive a 50,000 point bonus.
A 1,000 point bonus is granted if you jump and land on one of the small
islands.
=>[Burnin' Rubber] Offscreen Jump: It's actually possible to jump THROUGH
the left or right sides of the screen and land safely on the other side of
the track, if the track is currently wide enough and you are traveling
at a high enough speed.
=>[Lock 'n' Chase] Items: Bonus items will appear in the center of each stage
as you collect the dots from around the level. Items will appear after you
collect 40, 55, 70, 100, and 130 dots.
=>[Magical Drop III] Extra Characters: To unlock six additional characters
in Challenge or Versus mode, simply highlight a listed character and press
<C>x3 when their number is shown on the selection countdown timer (for
example, highlight Fool and tap <C>x3 when the timer shows 0 seconds
remaining). If you do so, six additional characters will appear and 10
seconds will be added to the timer.
20 - Judgement 6 - Lovers
19 - Sun 5 - Hierophant
17 - Star 4 - Emperor
15 - Devil 3 - Empress
13 - Death 2 - High Priestess
11 - Justice 1 - Magician
8 - Strength 0 - Fool
7 - Chariot
=>[Magical Drop III] Father Strength: To unlock Father Strength in Challenge
or Versus modes, highlight Strength on the character selection screen,
hold <C> and press <A>+<B>.
=>[Magical Drop III] High Score Trick: Given that you can't progress through
the Challenge mode without collecting fire spheres, you can earn extra
points by successfully completing the first stage WITHOUT collecting any
fire spheres, thus continually replaying the first level and adding to your
score. You won't progress through the game until you collect a fire sphere,
but you won't lose the game as long as you keep beating the first level.
=>[Secret Agent] Golden Gun: Defeated enemies will occasionally drop a
Golden Gun piece (gold eagle with a red G). Collect five and you'll
temporarily get the Golden Gun, which decimates most enemies and does major
damage to the bosses. Sadly, a small timer will appear in the top of the
screen, and after about 25 seconds you will lose the gun.
=>[Secret Agent] Kicking: If you manage to waste all your bullets, you'll
be able to kick enemies (at about double damage) until you gather more
bullets. If you waste your bullets during the sky diving intro, you'll
punch them out instead.
=>[Secret Agent] Cameos: A variety of cameo appearances from other Data East
arcade games are sprinkled throughout the game, generally in the form of
arcade logos or posters. However, if you watch the ground at the
beginning of the final level, you should spot a robotic body lying on the
floor. The body bears a striking resemblence to Robocop, star of another
Data East game.
=>[Steet Hoop]: The U.S. version (Street Slam) used U.S. city names for the
teams. The version in this collection appears to be the European one, in
which the teams are based in countries around the world.
