Solar Jetman: Hunt for the Golden Warpship/Items & Equipment

Collected Items
These are the items that you find on the planet and have to tractor back to your ship to activate. There are three kinds: Key Items are needed to finish the planet, Equipment adds abilities to your pods, and Treasure gives you more money.

Purchased Items
Items you purchase through the Interstellar Marketing Company before each planet (except the first). Shop numbers refer to the shop you go to BEFORE landing on a planet. In other words, if an item is sold at Shop 2, then it is the one you get to after you leave Planet 1, but before landing on the second planet. Special Weapons are items that are limited in use by your special weapon meter, upgraded equipment is the better version of your standard equipment that you lose if your pod is destroyed, and permanent upgrades are things that you can never lose after buying.
