BLOCKS

Blocks frequently stand between you and a bountiful harvest of goodies and secrets. Fortunately, blocks are made to be smashed. The symbol (or lack thereof) on the face of each block indicates what you need to do to destroy it, and proceed to the riches beyond.
BLAST'EM BLOCKS
Use your weapons to blast these blocks to smithereens. Different weapons are better suited to destroying blocks in certain locations, so if you can't seem to blast a block away with one weapon, try using another in your arsenal.
COUNTDOWN BLOCKS
Countdown Blocks are Blast'em Blocks with an attitude. These toughies don't crack easily. You will need to blast them several times (just how many times is indicated by the numeral on each block) to make them fall to pieces.
WEAPON BLOCK
These blocks can only be destroyed with the particular weapon pictured on their sides. For this reason, it is a good idea to try to save at least a few rounds of ammo in each of the weapons you possess in case you need them to blast through a Weapon Block.
SWITCH BLOCKS
Switch Blocks can only be activated by finding and breaking the Switch Crates that influence them. Smash the right Switch Crates to remove solid Switch Blocks or to materialize ghost Switch Blocks. The Switch Crates that activate particular Switch Blocks may be a considerable distance from the blocks themselves.
SPEED BLOCKS
These plain-faced blocks can only be smashed by running through them at full speed, or by using Spaz's special sidekick move.
BUTT-STOMP BLOCKS
There's nothing (literally) like a good old fashioned butt-stomping to smash these blocks to oblivion. Remember, jump, then push the down button at the peak of your leap to execute the butt-stomp move.
