Rocks and bones

Appearance

They appear as many different objects, most commonly rocks in the Rock and Balloon Cup, and assorted piles of bones in the Bone Cup.

Game information

Rocks and bones are for the most part immobile, set in places that most restrict the way in which the target(s) can be shot. The player cannot shoot through them with normal arrows, although special arrows, such as spirit arrows, are able to.

Brontosauruses

Main article: Brontosauruses

Brontosauruses are green coloured dinosaurs with large necks that are often in the player's way, often requiring that the player shoot high over them. Their long necks are the most noticeable part of them, and the part often in the way of the player.

Pterodactyls

Main article: Pterodactyls

The only flying dinosaur, pterodactyls fly up in the air holding bags, some of these bags having targets on them.

Ankylosauruess

Main article: Ankylosauruses

Found only in the Bone Cup, ankylosauruses are armadillo type dinosaurs who when hit with an arrow, move a certain distance forward.

T-Rex

Main article: T-Rex

One of the biggest dinosaurs in the game t-rex are stationary dinosaurs that open their mouth and roar, to expose a rock that has a target on it.

Pachycephalosauruses

Main article: Pachycephalosauruses

A dinosaur found only in the Tar Cup, pachycephalosauruses are partially submerged in tar. A target painted on their head, whenever they are struck with an arrow, they will submerge into tar and emerge somewhere else in the level.

Earthquakes

Game information

When an earthquake occurs, the volcano in the background will erupt and the screen will shake, making precise shooting of arrows very hard. After a few seconds, the earthquake will stop and the screen will become normal again. During the second round of an earthquake, rocks will fall of the sky, some of them having targets on them.
