Star Fox 64/Gameplay

Bombs
Bombs are often rare items that can help defeat powerful enemies and destroy large numbers of enemies at once. You'll start each stage with three bombs and you can usually find more along the way. They look like small red gems with a flat face and a "B" printed on it.

Using Bombs Wisely
Bombs can help you tackle down foes that have a lot of hit points but did you know that it is better to use bombs when a group of foes come? If you're in a position when a bunch of foes are in your face and you seem that you cannot get them all, then use a bomb. You will get all those points and then you can focus on getting the ones that were left behind.

Charge Shots
Locking onto foes is one thing but did you know that you can get additional points as well? When a small group of foes are flying close enough, target at least one of them and then shoot a charged shot. The charge shot will blow up the locked target and any additional targets nearby. You will get all the points from all the foes you blew up, plus additional points for how many foes were blown up because of the charge blast.
