* '''Slick and Sam''' - These are two green creatures who start at the top of the pyramid and work their way down. These revert the cubes they land on back to their original color.
When Q*bert collides with a purple enemy, it takes a life of the player. However, green-colored enemies are removed from the board when they come in contact with the player. Colored balls occasionally appear on the second row of cubes that bounce down the pyramid. Contact with a red ball it lethal to the player. Contact with a green ball temporarily immobilizes all other enemies on the screen. There are two multi-colored discs on the thrid level from the bottom of the pyramid. Q*bert can jump on these discs which will transport him to the top of the pyramid. If Coily is in close proximity of Q*bert when he jumps on the disc, he will follow after the player, falling into oblivion and dissapearing. It also causes all other enemies to disappear for a short period of time. Points are given for each color change (25), defeating Coiling with a flying disk (500), remaining discs at the end of a stage (50 or 100 points), and catching green balls (100) or Slick and Sam (300 each). Bonus points are given for completing a level, starting at 1,000 points for the first screen and increasing 250 points for each subsequent level up to 5,000 points after level 4. Extra lives are earned for reaching certain scores.
