Zanac 





Be fully powered-up

cheat codes sent in from Planet Zeekois

At the beginning of any given level, three blocks arranged in a triangle 
will drift by just after the start of the level. If you crash your ship 
into the middle one, its guns will immediately be fully powered-up for 
some odd reason (you usually have to grab four yellow orbs to do this).





Weapon tip

Know your weapons: Weapons in Zanac show on screen as floating
numbers. Your weapon will upgrade if you pick the same number 
several times. Except for weapon 2, all others upgrade to do very 
powerful stuff. For example, if you pick weapon 5 many times your 
ship will get a laser cannon which is one of the most powerful weapons 
in the game.





Upgrade your standard gun

Very often you will see blue squares floating around which if shot 
releases yellow coins. If you pick a lot of them without being killed 
(and I mean a lot) your standard gun will upgrade to a big three shot cannon! 





Throw a big blast wave

If you want to win the game easy, upgrade weapon 7 to its max. Your
ship will throw a big blast wave which covers about 2/5 of the screen!





Enemies turn into 1ups

If you pick weapon 6 many times, you will eventually get one special 
blast which will turn all enemies on screen into 1 ups! 





Warp

There are pillars spread throughout the levels which if shot several 
times will release an energy ball that if your ship touches it destroys 
all enemies on the screen. However, there are special pillars with happy 
faces carved on them which can be shot for other effects. Some will 
release a energy ball that if you leave alone for a few seconds it will 
become hollow. Touch it and you'll be able to warp! Every stage has one. 
Be careful though, some hollow energy balls warp you BACK instead 
of forward.





1up

If you destroy the before mentioned pillars, you are awarded with an 1up.





Find a fairy

Somewhere at the beginning of Stage 2, there is a small square plate that 
if you shoot will free a fairy. The fairy will accompany you to the first 
enemy base and will destroy it for you automatically.





Stage 8 tip
