The gadgets officially have me even more curious about how bonus pickups work in Zero Wing. It always felt like pure luck just getting the one extend, nvm the 10UP! Is it truly some crazy positional thing?
it's something like if the amount frames you've survived is divisible by 64. there are routes out there that can guarantee the 10up but these gadgets help alleviate that pain
@@wabbyleg Wow! And I thought the shot counter for the bonus cars in Tiger-Heli was a little mad. I just got into practicing that one (albeit I have but a less-than-ideal modern port to work with).

@@MusicalMinerdude hell fire has something similar too with extends but if i remember right that one was solely based off positioning
@@wabbyleg Hmm. Watching footage of that one later. Wonder if it applies to the Genesis remake?
@@MusicalMinerdude that’s a good question. i’m not sure as i’ve never gotten into that port
