#ARKANOID DS CHEATS SERIES#
Leitmotif: While the stages themselves have no music playing, the "level start" music is iconic within the series - each game has its own remix of the original tune to start each level.However in all games starting from DoH it Again, it would receive a Nerf to where it can no longer destroy gold bricks. The only things it would bounce off are the walls and the Vaus. More importantly, it instantly plows through any brick - even gold and silver bricks. For one, it could plow through the black sphere enemies. It can be split apart into multiple units with either the "Disrupt" or "Node" powerups and be upgraded to travel through blocks with either the Mega or Giga powerups. Hyper-Destructive Bouncing Ball: The ball that the Vaus uses to destroy blocks.

In the Amstrad CPC version, said projectiles have a hitbox much bigger than they appear. Hitbox Dissonance: The last level is the only one where you can lose a life other than by dropping the ball: The Final Boss is lobbing projectiles at you.After the ending comes a Game Over screen. Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: Played with.On the other hand, bosses do kill you with their attacks. They go down in one hit, and touching the Vaus kills them not you: Their purpose is not to inflict direct harm, only to throw your ball off trajectory. The Goomba: In the games that have enemies, everything except the bouncing orbs (deflects the ball) and the teleporting slimes (randomly moves your ball to somewhere else in the level).It's an acronym for the Arkanoid's crew's term for the thing on account of its control of the fabric of time-space, "Dominator of Hours". Fun with Acronyms: The iOS version finally gives DoH a meaning.Right.īUT ONLY TO BE TRAPPED IN SPACE WARPED BY SOMEONE. Excuse Plot: You're a spaceship trying to escape from DIMENSION-CONTROLLING FORT DOH, by destroying blocks with a bouncing ball.This was changed to 100,000 points, 200,000 points, and for every 200,000 points thereafter in Revenge of DoH. Every 10,000 Points: By default, you get your first two extra lives at 20,000 and 60,000 points, and then you get each subsequent extra life for every 60,000 points afterwards in the Arcade version of the original Arkanoid.Escape Pod: The Vaus that the player pilots.The black spheres in Revenge of DoH, which only can be destroyed by touching the Vaus.Silver blocks require between two to five hits to break (unless the Mega Ball power capsule is active) compared to their colored counterparts.Eenie, Meenie, Miny Moai: DoH is a giant virtual Moai head.The ball will also speed up during these levels, which try to deplete your set of lives. Drought Level of Doom: Round 11 in Arkanoid, as well as similar levels that only have silver bricks that never release powerups.What does that mean? Who knows, just break all these bricks. Downer Beginning: The mother ship Arkanoid has been destroyed, and while you've managed to escape in the Vaus Escape Pod, you're trapped in space warped by someone.You must destroy them before you can damage him directly. Cognizant Limbs: The final fight against DoH in DoH it Again has two arms to punch you with, which also means two separate targets you must kill, with their own lifebars.
