A bonus game occurs when playing a game (usually in arcade games). Players do something to get a "free game". Pinball machines almost always call these "specials". It could be getting a certain score, getting a rare item, or doing some specific task.
Bonus levels, rounds, or stages give players a chance to gain extra points, powerups, or lives. Occasionally bonus stages will play completely different than the rest of the game, like as a slot machine or pinball minigame.
Collectibles are items such as coins, rings, gems, packages etc. that can be gathered, usually for some kind of reward, or sometimes to simply beat a level. Often (almost too often) the source of earning achievements and trophies on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
It's not just for airplanes anymore: Game mascots and MMO players alike have taken to the skies. Players can use flight to quickly navigate large levels, find hidden items, or take opponents down.
These are games you don't need a console to play. You plug in a controller to the TV and you're ready to play.
Power Ups can be used to give the controlling character, or any other character, temporary or permanent upgrades.
A Secret area is a place hidden that few will find unless they know where to look.
Super Forms in the Sonic the Hedgehog games are transformations achieved by characters usually using the power of the Chaos Emeralds.
When a character in a game unleashes their true power and 'levels up' in a sense. Examples are super sonic, super saiyan, no more heroes, mushrooms in mario, devil trigger... etc.
Super Speed is the ability for a character to travel at speeds normally unattainable by regular humans. Super speed can be a stock super power by characters such as the Flash & Sonic the Hedgehog, or a technologically enhanced ability like Nomad in Crysis.
Extra objects, characters, or content in a game that can only be accessed after completing a certain task such as completing the game, or by using cheat codes.
Like a Werewolf, but a hedgehog.
