Line 57:
* [[Nitro Boost]]: The boosters can give you an extra burst of acceleration/lifting strength, but it uses up fuel faster.
* [[No Bulk Discounts]]
* [[No Plot, No Problem]]: Without checking out varius online sources, you won't know exactly why you're collecting ship parts. I always thought I was just making the space equivalent of a hot-rod. Frankly, do you really need a reason to explore space and shoot at stuff?
* [[One -Hit -Point Wonder]]: The Golden Warpship might as well be one.
* [[Palette Swap]]: Enemies and most items change pallettes with each planet, mostly so they don't blend in with the background.
* [[Password Save]]: There's even a [http://unoriginal.org/people/cybern/solar_jetman.html password generator] for the jetman on the go.
* [[Pinball Scoring]]: Mostly averted, though the gravity is displayed in multiples of 8.
* [[Point of No Return]]: After you assemble the Golden Warpship, you are subject to a Gradius-style side-scrolling level. You have one shot at it. If you lose, you get the password for Miplezur. The fact that the final level is [[Nintendo Hard]] doesn't help. Possibly justified in that there is only one Golden Warpship.
* [[Power -Up]]: Shields, boosters and navigators on planet surfaces, and a lot more at the Interstellar Marketing Co.
* [[Punny Name]]: Preludon, among most other planet names.
* [[Recursive Ammo]]: Star bullets.
* [[Secret Level]]: Urownd. Notable in that finding this planet allows you to skip Zlaz Tordus, Shammy Gen and Shankoo entirely.
* [[Selective Gravity]]: For some reason, when in just your spacesuit, you are subject to the same force of gravity no matter which planet you're on, even if it has zero or negative gravity.
* [[Self -Imposed Challenge]]: There's definitely potential for this. No shields, no boosters, no map, base level pod...
* [[Shout Out]]: [[Star Trek|At least]] [[Doctor Who (TV)|a couple.]]
* [[Smart Bomb]]: The most expensive weapon available.
Line 75:
* [[Story to Gameplay Ratio]]: What story?
* [[This Is the Final Battle|Destiny Summons.]]
* [[Two2-D Space]]
* [[Unexpected Gameplay Change]]<big>/</big>[[Unexpected Shmup Level|Shmup Level]]: The final level.
* [[Video Game Lives]]: 4 of them to start with, though you only lose them if you die after your pod explodes.
