Bonus Jellyfish

Bonus jellyfish, also called Bonus Creatures in the game's files, or simply nicknamed jellyfish, are harmless creatures that can occasionally be encountered in Typer Shark! Deluxe and Typer Shark Abyss. They are not capable of harming the diver in any way, but can be blasted for points, which is useful to charge the Shark Zapper.

Bonus jellyfish are not affected by the difficulty setting. They will always have a three letter word, and always give 200 points when defeated.

If ignored, bonus jellyfish will simply float harmlessly past the player. The game will still give an accuracy rating to the player once the encounter ends, like with any other wave of sea creatures, even if you fail to kill them all.

Trivia

 * The bonus jellyfish use a slightly modified sprite of Clyde the jellyfish from the PopCap game Insaniquarium.
 * The clams and deep sea fish are the other two entities whose sprites are adapted from Insaniquarium.
