Under a certain circumstances, if the EXTRA monster and 1 remaining Alpha monster are pursuing you (with the Alpha monster in front of the EXTRA monster) and you kill the Alpha monster as it’s about to eat an apple, the EXTRA monster will try to eat the same apple, except it won’t be able to and will remain a ‘ghost’ (video #2). The apple is still there and can be pushed or dropped (either by you or monsters), but the ‘ghost’ might still be able to kill you if you try to push the apple from the same side the EXTRA monster approached it. If the apple is dropped, it will break and disappear but a flattened EXTRA monster ‘ghost’ will keep falling and continually wrap-around the screen from the bottom to the top! This will go away if you lose a life or clear the scene.
