Zanac/Items

Items are effects you can use by shooting statues and buildings on the ground.

The Eraser
When you shoot a statue on the ground called an ICON you release an ENEMY ERASER, a ball of energy that when touched clears the screen of all aerial items except Special Weapon upgrades -- it even removes any POWER CHIPs and BOXes. Most ICONs are Type 1, which have slit eyes and release normal ERASERs. Once per level, you will encounter a Type 2 icon, which has a a big grin. If you immediately come into contact with the ERASER it releases, it will act as a normal ERASER. However, if you wait a few seconds the center of the ERASER will disappear. Now, when you contact the ERASER you will instead be warped to another level!

The Fairy
Once in a while if you shoot a square BUILDING on the ground, a FAIRY will emerge. She looks just like the fairy from the Legend of Zelda. When you touch the FAIRY, she will clear the screen just like an ERASER. After that, she will hang around until you reach the next base. The base will be automatically destroyed as soon as the timer starts; you will collect the normal bonus and then the FAIRY will fly away.
