In total, there are eight Bonuses.
Bonus Stage[1] is the fourth and last pattern inAlleyway in which theball goes through breakable blocks while destroying them. The stage ends after every breakable block is destroyed, the ball touches the bottom of the screen, or the time runs out. The player cannot lose a life on these stages.
