Star Wars (Namco)/Items and Companions

Items
Enemies and some blocks drop small Diamonds when destroyed. These boost your Force power by a certain amount depending on whether you are playing the Novice or Pro mission. Other items can be found in capsules that are placed in predetermined locations throughout various stages. They become active as soon as you collect them.

Companions
As you proceed through the game, you will gradually rescue six companions. These companions may help you at various points throughout the game if you communicate with them at key moments. Whether they help or not, you must rescue them in order to proceed to the next section of the game.
