Bomb[]
The bomb is another armament for the Silver Hawk. Bombs are the secondary armament of the Silver Hawks which allows them to bomb certain Ground targets or Aerial ones. Some Bombs turns into missiles when powered up, and only the Silver Hawk Gaiden can have this type of upgrade which can tear enemies into pieces and damage bosses from its firepower. Bomb power ups can be obtained by acquiring Green Orbs to power up Bomb counts and increase in damage overall; the bombs can evolve into Twin and Multi if powered enough by getting 7 Green Orbs.
