Hi all, guys. I'm new here, but I love the TCRF site and I hope to contribute a bit.

On the Mega Zone (Arcade) page (https://tcrf.net/Mega_Zone), there is a list of unused sprites. The last one, a pink little man with a bowing animation, is actually used.

It's hidden quite well, though. To make it appear, you need to reach the end of the map, and destroy the structure boss WITHOUT shooting the 2 green turrets before it.

The pink guy will then appear. It's a bonus item, when collected it gives 5,000 points and destroys every enemy on the screen, like the grey teardrop bombs.

I made a gallery at http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/48iq919434jrxs6jwo5qf75e5k45p0ut
to show a few subsequent shots:

1) The end of map structure boss, with the green turrets intact.
2) The boss just destroyed.
3) The bonus appears.
4) Animation of the bonus.
5) The bonus is collected, wiping out the enemies.
6) if 5) didn't occur, the bonus descends slowly to the bottom of the screen, as the new map appears.

Thanks for the info! I went ahead and removed that from the article.
