Every enemy is completely different and will harm you in different ways. Likewise with having to kill enemies. For example, tomatoes are the weapon of choice to kill most Earthlings. However, they will do nothing against cupids. To kill those little bastards, you gotta either use Icarus Wings or Spring Shoes. And although you can't kill moles, you can trick them with Decoys. But use a Decoy on bee's, and they'll pop it on contact. This game is right up there with Bomberman on being fun with multiplayer. It's only too bad that the sequel on the Genesis was a side scroller. Not as fun! :/ This game is probably the most unique game of all times.

One can only hope... So, Wii probably got itself a rogue like game? One can only hope…
