=== Wile E. Coyote ===

Follows your character throughout the game. Contact with your character ends your life. Will use many different attacks to capture you.

Uses magnets (if you eat steel shot), a pogo stick, a flying rocket, a flying helicopter with dynamite, and invisible paint.

{{-}}

Can run you over. Move out of the way to avoid.

{{-}}

=== Bird seed ===

You collect these. If you miss five, you will lose a life. If you miss one or more, you lose a point bonus.

{{-}}

=== Bird seed with steel shot ===

You do ''not'' want to eat these, but if you do, the coyote will bring out a magnet to draw you closer and capture you.

{{-}}

=== Lemonade ===

If you drink all of these, you will get a bonus, or you can get Wile E. Coyote to drink them to slow him down.

{{-}}

=== Mines ===

If you run over these, you lose a life. You can lure Wile E. Coyote to run over these also to gain a bonus each time he is blown up.

=== Glue ===

On part of the level, it slows you down when you run through it. Does not affect the coyote. There are many different sizes and shapes for the glue. It is possible to jump through the glue, and escape from it.

{{-}}

=== Cliffs/Gaps ===

You need to jump across the cliffs, and you can lure the coyote to fall off them.

{{-}}

=== Invisible paint ===

Allows you to disappear (your character flashes), or lets the coyote do the same. Run into to it to activate it. You can still be captured however. Basically it allows you a few more seconds to not be caught. Also you can still be run over, or destroyed while invisible. Even it is off-screen, it takes priority for the coyote over your character. Once the coyote has it, he flashes it.
