Power-up

Swimsanity! features a selection of temporary power-ups that players can acquire during matches in any game mode. Power-ups appear on screen at certain intervals and cycle through a random selection; players must shoot at one to unlock it and then swim over it to acquire and activate it. Power-ups can also drop from enemies, but these do not cycle and do not need to be shot at to unlock.

Most game modes provide players with a power-up at the start of the match by placing one in front of each player. Unlike Unleashes, players can lose power-ups by swimming over another power-up or being killed. Players can pick up power-ups while under the effect of an Unleash.
