Sega logo mini-game

On the Sega logo screen, the player is able to control Vectorman. Position him under the Sega logo, shoot it 24 times, then headbutt it from underneath 12 times. This will start a mini-game where the player has to catch as many letters as possible. A total of 120 letters will fall.

Collecting at least 90 letters will start the player on Day 5, and collecting at least 110 letters will start the player on Day 10.
