* FreezeRay: Your EMP gun freezes enemies in place for a few seconds. This makes them easier to kill with your spear, but significantly reduces the chance of obtaining a power-up (unfrozen enemies always drop power-ups when defeated). It also makes a convenient health indicator for bosses; it takes fewer shots to freeze a boss with low health.

The boomerangs and energy wave fork out in three different directions at max level a la the Thunder Shot in ''VideoGame/MegaMan1'', and the fireballs turn into a SpreadShot of sorts.

''Low G Man'' is a PlatformGame published by Taxan and developed by KID Corp. for the UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem in 1990.
In the year 2284, humans have perfected outer space travel and anti-gravity technology, and are looking to spread their influence throughout the galaxy by colonizing other planets and building exploration robots on them. However, one of the robot-producing planets is [[AlienInvasion taken over by an alien race]], who reprograms the robots to aid them in their bid to [[KillAllHumans purge the galaxy of all organic life]].
To fight back against the alien menace, Earth sends a crew of super-powered warriors called the Low-G Men, who are equipped with low-gravity backpacks that give them amazing maneuverability, even under high gravity conditions. One such Low-G Man (you, the player) is sent on a solo mission to break through the aliens' defenses and defeat their leader.

* MiniMecha: You can pilot three different vehicles - a bomb-dropping hovercraft, a ChickenWalker with a powered-up SpringJump that puts yours to shame, or a SpiderTank that can [[GravityScrew cling to the ceiling]].
* ProductPlacement: If you finish the game on the hardest difficulty level, the ending text finishes with a message that dares the player to try out ''G.I. Joe'' (another Taxan/KID NES Game).
