PowerUp (bonus)
Explanation:
In video games, power-ups are objects which add extra abilities to the game character, and/or increase the player's score upon being collected. The character typically picks up power-ups simply by touching them.

Det er ikke mit indtryk, at ordet oversættes i en dansk sammenhæng (men kan evt forklares i en parentes, første gang det benyttes i manualen).

Mvh.
