Cheats, Tricks, Bugs, and Easter Eggs

There is a horrible lack of rapid fire with this machine and I have found the only way to overcome the slow shooting is to rapidly cock the gun as you hammer the trigger. It may hurt your arms after a while but it is worth it.

To see party hats and Afros at the stage-select screen, choose the Haunted House stage then pump the shotgun five times before the stage starts. You will see that the zombies and other characters will have crazy hats and even afros on their heads!
