ITEMS

    Whenever you drive through a white balloon, you receive one of the
    following items:

        BOMB

            Place this bomb on the ground behind you to slow down other
            players.

        MINI TRAMPOLINE

            Put the blue mini trampoline on the road in front of you to make
            a jump.

        SPEED BLOCK

            Place the yellow speed block on the ground and touch it to get
            extra speed.

        RED BOTTLE

            The red bottle will make you invincible for some time. You can
            stop other players by bumping into them.

        BLUE BOTTLE

            The blue bottle will make you invisible for other players. When
            you are invisible, you can grab items from other players by
            touching them.

        PURPLE BALLS

            Throw these balls to stop another player. Purple balls keep
            rolling around, until they hit someone.

        ORANGE BALL

            This orange ball will follow the player in front of you, but
            cannot bounce against walls.


    The following items are only available in the registered version of Super
    Worms:

        BALLOON

            Put the white balloon down anywhere, so that everyone can get
            items at that place.

        GREEN MAT

            Put the sticky green mat on the ground behind you to slow down
            other players.

        BLACK BOUNCING BOMB

            This bouncing bomb will start moving slowly towards the player in
            front of you when close enough.

        SEGMENTS

            Get a lost segment back by putting it down and touching it
            (Knock-out and Battle game only).
