Special weaponry

All the Vixens

  • Up Laser - Shoots a wide beam above Vixen. It's more effective than Double and works with the Laser.
  • Down Laser - Shoots a wide beam below Vixen. This weapon replaces both the Up Laser and Missiles, so it is not as good as the Up Laser.
  • Down Double - Like Double except shoots downward
  • Missile Hawk - An upgrade to the Missile, this one is able to climb up hills.
  • Photon Hawk - An upgrade to the Photon Missile, this one travels along the ground and penetrates and destroys any enemy it hits. It is able to climb up hills.
  • Guided Missiles - Another upgrade to the Missile, this makes your missiles home in on enemies and move fast.
  • Galactic Laser - This one is a powerup and shoots a very, very wide beam directly ahead. Lasts one shot. Needed in Stage 10 to destroy a wall.

Vixen 1

  • Meteor Laser - An upgrade to the Laser that makes it more powerful and wider.
  • Screw Laser - Another upgrade to the Laser that makes it very powerful and wide.

Vixen 2

  • Twinkle Laser - An upgrade to the Laser that makes it more powerful and wider.
  • Screw Laser - Another upgrade to the Laser that makes it very powerful and wide.

Vixen 3

  • Fire Blaster - An upgrade to the Laser, this weapon shoots a short range but very powerful blast of fire. Think flamethrower.
  • Extend Blaster - Upgraded version of Fire Blaster. This weapon shoots out two rows of Fire Blaster. The range remains the same, but power is doubled.

Vixen 4

  • Fire Blaster - An upgrade to the Laser, this weapon shoots a short range but very powerful blast of fire. Think flamethrower.
  • Vector Laser - Unlike the powerup, this one shoots a more powerful version of the Ripple.
