I much prefer the weird arcade game.  Nothing like a carrot for a ship
and banana bombs.  If you have the banana front weapon fully charged,
there must be like 50-60 bananas per second coming out of your ship...
It's hilarious.  I also like the hot-dog weapon, the others on this 
mode sorta suck (although the orange juicer is cool, it makes oranges
surround your ship (as a shield sort of) and also shoots some off.  
Hot dogs (on a bun with mustard), coming out of a carrot... where do
they come up with this?

The only game that I can think of that has a similar mode is novastorm.
