			* Although unused in the vanilla games, the flags {{f\|PowerUp#DamagedAnim}} are listed in {{ini\|art}} – albeit with a spelling error. The last two words of the flags are switched around: e.g. they are listed as {{f\|PowerUp#''AnimDamaged''}} while the correct format is {{f\|PowerUp#''DamagedAnim''}}. The flags themselves, when typed in correctly, work as expected.
