Food can also be found underground, which can be collected by enemies and brought up to the boss to transform it into a more powerful version of itself. Some stages will contain parts that can be used to construct more powerful weapons when collected, such as a faster drill. Unlike other items, a minigame will need to be completed for the intended effect to occur, where the player takes control of Susumu and must perform certain tasks - some of these are based on other Namco video games, including Xevious and Rally-X. Some power-ups will summon Susumu that will either automatically force a stake into a ground via a weight being dropped on them, or temporarily stun the boss character. The player can also collect fossils throughout the game, which when all are found will unlock a special bonus stage. Placed throughout the underground sections are items that can help Taizo progress - these include large magnets, time-stopping clocks, and boxing gloves that can be shot at enemies.
