'Up'n Down" (Sega 1983) - Three (3) Hidden Game Secrets
Most players of this title are aware of an "easter egg" whereby if you finish the first four (4) stages within a certain completion time that "Pengo" makes an appearance riding a surfboard. It does, specifically in the water where the three large vertical ramps to climb. I've included a sample of this spot below though not with "Pengo" as I cannot duplicate this via WolfMAME.
However, I have discovered three (3) MORE hidden gems in the game...a checkered-flag car which, if you catch it, can immediately end the wave, and two more cartoons in the game...a purple monster and an orange worm.
Links to see each are below. The monsters appearing bring you no extra points, but if I could figure out what triggers the checkered flag-car that would be useful.Attachment 22642
