Note that unlike more modern examples of this trope, the bomb does ''not'' grant [[InvulnerableAttack invincibility frames]]. At the end of each stage, you are awarded 3,000 points for each remaining bomb and your bomb stock is set back to 3 (same as when respawning after death). The NES version's bomb additionally cancels all bullets on the screen when firing it.

In the ''Hishou Same!'' version's Super Easy mode, if you are hit with bombs in stock, one will automatically be deployed to protect you, but this will reduce the DynamicDifficulty (meaning your max rank point generation will end if you were under its effect).

!! ''Sky Shark'' features examples of the following:
* OneUp: You get an extra life at fixed point thresholds. Additionally, twice per game, a formation of silver planes will show up; destroying all of these planes will drop a 1-up item.
* EasierThanEasy: The ''Hishou Same!'' compilation features Super Easy mode, which at first glance does seem to be what it says: a low-difficulty version of the game that also has an auto-bomb feature not found in the original. However, this can get zigzagged should the player start hoarding bombs, as the bullet speeds will increase, [[DynamicDifficulty as will the difficulty counter]]. Once the difficulty counter reaches the maximum of 15, the player will start earning points per frame, however getting hit or bombing will lower the difficulty back down. The game ends after only one loop, but the player is awarded 500,000 points for every remaining life.
* EndlessGame: After completing stage 5, the game doesn't end, it just loops back to stage 2 and continues to repeat indefinitely until the player runs out of lives. Super Easy averts this, ending after one loop and awarding the player a huge bonus based on their remaining lives. The Custom mode in the ''Hishou Same!'' version can be set to be endless or one loop only, with the same remaining-lives bonus if set to the latter.
* PowerUp: Occasionally, a formation of six red fighters will show up; destroying the whole formation will drop an "S" powerup that increases the quantity and spread of the player's shots.
* SmartBomb: Press the bomb button to fire a bomb that inflicts huge damage and cancels bullets within a set radius. Note that unlike more modern examples of this trope, the bomb does ''not'' grant [[InvulnerableAttack invincibility frames]]. At the end of each stage, you are awarded 3,000 points for each remaining bomb and your bomb stock is set back to 3 (same as when respawning after death). The NES version's bomb additionally cancels all bullets on the screen when firing it.
* ZergRush: In Stage 5, more specifically Area 99 of the game and after defeating the boss, the game makes one final attempt on the player with a ''huge'' wave of enemy fighters and tanks.
