WEAPON SKILL GOODIES — Collect 10 of these puppies to
enable Ram to shoot a pair of certain weapons at the same
time. Double targeting and double firepower! Collect loads of
these goodies to win unlimited ammo for different weapons.
NOTE: See pages 20-21 for a full list of weapons that can be used with the
dual weapon skill.
COMBO TIMER GOODIES — These little beauties give you
double combo time to find and waste the next bad guy.
POINTS GOODIE — Points goodies are scattered everywhere.
A bit of sight-seeing and exploration could reap extra points.
Big scores mean bonus missions and extra pick-ups.
BODY ARMOR — Collect a body armor goodie to temporarily
increase Ram’s resistance to gunfire. When the
BLUE overlay
shrinks to nothing, the protection ends.
HEALTH BOOST — Find these helpful health boosts —
in small and large sizes — to cure wounds.
EL MARIACHI — Mariachis ply their trade across Mexico
bringing sweet music to the masses. El Mariachi promises
music but delivers only the final overture in a gangster’s life.
MAD WRESTLER — Ram is temporarily joined by a fat
and very angry bat-wielding Mexican wrestler, who isn’t
taking prisoners.
PIÑATA — Throw this traditional papier mâché effigy to a
gang of hoodlums and watch (from a safe distance) as they
relive their youth and delight at the surprises within!
SOMBRERO OF DEATH — Ram is temporarily joined
by the Sombrero of Death, who unleashes death
and destruction all ‘round him with his boomstick!
Loco moves are outrageous one-off special moves activated with the
directional buttons, once you’ve earned or found ‘em. They give short-

boss enemies with a single shot, though it inflicts
serious damage.
TORNADO — Unleash twin-gun fury in a whirlwind spinning
assassination move.
EL TORO — Ram is blessed with the strength and speed
of a raging bull and rendered temporarily invulnerable by
the
RED mist before his eyes. Use the right analog stick to
run into enemies. Make contact to destroy them instantly.
