    This thing is sooo awesome! :D

    If you succeed at all of the missions in the game you get to play as a "birdman" -- a person with wings on their arms. It's not a level where you have to do anything or achieve anything -- you get to just fly around free.

    When you pause and check the "scoring" page, it says, "Birdman is a free flying stage. There's no score. Enjoy flying!" :D

    You get to pick the landscape and the time of day, and fly around over all the settings that the actual game levels took place on, but this way you get to explore them at your leisure. My favorite is to fly around at night on the island called "Everfrost." It reminds me of being home up on Long Island in the winter time, when I was about college-age. <gets wistful...> :H

    Hmmm, no, on the box... shit, I can't find the box and since I bought the game used (at a pawn shop, I think) I don't know if I ever even had the box.

    In this game, you do different events, like hang gliding, rocket pack, jump shoes, skydiving, being shot out of a cannon, and other stuff. There are various objectives to meet in order to get to the higher levels. You get to choose from a variety of characters that you can look like.

    It's a lot of fun. :)
