Various special objects and pickups can be found throughout the game, often providing some benefit to 006, but sometimes just getting in the way.
Core Objectives[edit | edit source]
Every level contains one of each of these objects, and they are essential to completing your mission.
Point Items[edit | edit source]
These pickups only award points when collected, which don't do anything in particular apart from counting towards a high-score.
In Secret Agent HD, they may contribute towards certain achievements, and collecting all point items in a custom level is required to earn one of the level's completion stars.

Hidden Money Bag | Many levels have secret spots that cause a Money Bag to fall down from above. If it hits the floor without being collected, it disappears and cannot be gotten anymore unless the stage is restarted.
In Secret Agent HD, catching 50 of these awards the "Raining Gold" achievement, and collecting all hidden bags in a custom level awards a completion star for that stage. |
5000 | |
S-P-Y Letters | The letters S, P and Y are hidden in every official stage. Collecting them in that order awards a score bonus, but if one is collected out of order, the bonus can't be obtained. Note that every additional Y collected after the P awards the bonus again, allowing for massive scores in levels with more than one Y!
In Secret Agent HD, collecting them in order awards the "S-P-Y" achievement and counts for a completion star in custom levels. Collecting them out of order also awards the "Spell Checker" achievement. |
100 per letter, 10k for spelling "S-P-Y" |
