===Bonus fruit=== | ===Bonus fruit=== | ||
Fruits appear just below the ghost pen when you've eaten 70 dots, and once more when you've eaten 170 dots. And while collecting a 100 point cherry is an enjoyable aspect of playing in the very first board, it's nothing compared to the 5000 point keys that occur later in the game. Don't risk your life in an effort to collect the lower value fruit if you want to make it to those really valuable bonus items. To the novice, the bonus fruit are merely point opportunities, but to the expert, they are an indication of the very nature of the stage you're in. Once you reach the peaches, the stage fruit usually lets you know something about the blue time of the ghosts for that stage. With the single exception of the grapes, the blue time is always longer throughout the second instance of a fruit than the first. | Fruits appear just below the ghost pen when you've eaten 70 dots, and once more when you've eaten 170 dots.
