Sometimes, power-ups (like catch, allowing the paddle to hold the ball temporarily) will drop after a certain block has been destroyed.

It is activated once the player catches it before it disappears into the void (if the last ball drops there, a life is lost).

For example, the blocks can be changed to look like Space Invaders ones or backgrounds to feature Bubble Bobble characters.
