Wonderful thread. And LesManley did a better explanation than any online sheet I have seem.
But on #10 you mention more about the pops. I have seen my screen say Pops Complete but I don't know what is did. I figured it added to a bonus I didn't see explicitly like on the Anchor screens.
And #11. Well the game can only have so much. Popeye and Bluto are fighting as always. And after what? The wizard mode prize Olive. Eugene The Jeep guides us up the escalator, the Sea Hag awards us our items and Wimpy wants the Katsup for his hamburger during Item Multi-Ball. (Also the EB shot on the upper play-field)
If anyone is missing it would be Alice the Goon. Considering it was made by Python Anghelo I would expect more whacky and environmentalism.
