Power ups (Cave Chaos series)

A list of Pick Ups in Cave Chaos. Boxes give the player a special ability, while Gems give points. Some Boxes are found only in certain levels.

Double Jump
The Double Jump box gives the player the ability to double jump instead of normal jumping. This jump is substantially higher, and may allow the player to reach some platforms necessary to complete the level.

Invincibility
Invincibility Boxes make the player immune to all damage for a period of time. They are similar in appearance to Double Jump boxes, although they have a different picture on the box. Invincibility Boxes are encountered less often than Double Jump Boxes.

Red Gem
The Red Gem is one of two point pickups in Cave Chaos. It gives the player 100 points. Red Gems are found less commonly than green gems, although they commonly do appear in groups. It is larger than green gems, and are easier to pick up.

Green Gem
Green Gems are the most common gems in Cave Chaos. They appear in every level. Green Gems grant the player 50 points, half the value of Red Gems. They are found commonly in Cave Chaos, and appear in large groups. Green Gems float in open spaces in the levels, and are the major source of points for the player.

Lanterns
Lanterns are interactive objects in Cave Chaos.

Appearance
Lanterns have a brown handle attached to a pot. This pot will glow with yellow light if touched or remain dark if not. There is a wire going around the lantern pot that connects to its base. If not held by a bat, the lantern will be hanging from a wooden frame with a black and white checked tile beneath it.

Game Information
Lanterns appear at the start and at the close of every level in Cave Chaos. They are the only platform that does not disappear shortly after being stepped on. When the player steps on the lantern platform, the Miner will do a little dance, and the level will end.

There is another Lantern in two player mode that is suspended in the air by a bat. If one player walks past it the Lantern will light up. If the player has lost a partner and comes across a unlit lantern, the lantern will light up and the partner will come back.
