Fireballs appear on the ramps, conveyer, and elevator stages, while Firefoxes appear on the final stage. These wispy flames are slow but very unpredictable.

On every stage except the ramp stage, some of Pauline's possessions are scattered about which you can retrieve for extra points. For every Purse, Hat, and Umbrella that you manage to collect, you will receive 300 points on Level 1, 500 points on Level 2, and 800 points every level thereafter. Since you typically only get one extra life in the game (at 7000 points by default,) these are only worth going out of your way to collect early on the game before you have earned the extra life. | On every stage except the ramp stage, some of Pauline's possessions are scattered about which you can retrieve for extra points.
