Cobra Triangle

Since you have a health meter with a dozen bars in it, it's not that important to dodge bullets unless your health is really low, but you should try not to run into too many walls.

In order to get very far you need to make use of your power-ups which are TURBO for better acceleration; FIRE for increased firepower; SPEED for increased top-speed; MISSILE for firing missiles as well as bullets; and FORCE which makes you fire tons of missiles and also makes you invincible for a limited time.

You get roughly one minute to complete each level.

Speaking of which, there are 7 types of levels each with a different objective: (1) Race to the Finish - Shoot other boats along the way to the finish line and avoid enemies like turrets and sharks.

Some boats tow power-up pods behind them that you can collect after you shoot them.

It doesn't matter when you finish, and you aren't told if you get 1st or 2nd or 3rd place... it seems that the other boats are only there to get in your way.

Watch for the fork in the river; choosing alternate paths takes you to the same levels of the game but in a different order. (2) Collect the Pods - Simply race in a straight path while running over ramps to collect pods and 1UP's in the air.

You go on to the next level when time runs out. (3) Dispose of Mines - There is a small square in the water with mines in it.

You actually have to collect the mines and tow them to another square to make them explode.

Of course, there is an invincible enemy boat that tries to steal them back from you and some guys that shoot at you.

It takes awhile since you can only tow them one at a time. (4) Fry the Monster - The 'boss' levels.

You fight a sea-serpent, a crab, a shark, etc.

He has his own health display right above yours, but it tends to deplete slower. (BONUS) S
