If you have 5 Shields in your inventory (including your default 1 shield), your walking speed and ship speed in the labyrinth will increase.  With the increased speed, you can also walk through the indestructable pyramids by moving diagonally in between.  This trick can be used against yellow pyramids and item capsules as well.

== Tricks ==
Due to limitations of programming in the game, there are a few tips and tricks in the game:
If you have the movement speed up, you can walk through the indestructible pyramids by moving diagonally in between.  This trick can be used against yellow pyramids and item capsules as well.
If you have the Level 2 Fireball on Labyrinth Mode and have the movement speed up, you can create an invincible damaging forcefield by simply holding the direction that the Fireball is moving because the walk and fireball are both the same exact speed!  Abuse this as much as possible before upgrading to Level 3 Fireball.
If you have the Level 3 Fireball on Corridor Mode and have the movement speed up, you can create an invincible damaging forcefield by simply holding up while shooting the Fireball because the flight and fireball are both the same exact speed!  Unlike the Labyrinth trick, this is less practical because by the time the invincibility ends, you are stuck on the top of the screen left wide open for attack.  Also, you get the Fireball 3 very late in the game.  This move is only effective against specific bosses and/or tough situations like mini-crystal or exploding blue plants chasing you.
