Yeah... that was probably my favorite too... but... whatever. I still found the shield much more usefull then that peace of trash quick boomberang, or the freeze time, because in most places those were pretty much useless. (the shield is usefull for getting powerups in places where enemys are created mostly, plus you could shoot it in any direction as well. Actually my main use for it was to make sure i had it when those stupid bees from that egg started appearing in numbers cause i missed my shot (now thats how ya can get powerups though.
