There seems to be an unused item/pickup. PAR code 7E0326=FF (actually any value above 00) will display a 'C' in the top status bar which seemingly grants invincibility on both side scrolling and driving stages. I don't have a physical manual to verify and I haven't been able to track down a PDF, but this write up at GameFaqs (https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/snes/588781-the-terminator/faqs/39516) doesn't list it as a collectable pickup, I don't remember ever seeing it as a pick up when I had this game as a kid, and after playing through the game a few times, I haven't seen it in game.

As far as the item in a tile viewer, it looks like the G, V, B, R, A, S and C alpha characters (indicating Grenades, Bullet Proof Vest, Brass Knuckles, Rapid Fire, Limited Ammo, Missiles, and 'C') were all unique sprites simply placed at the center of the red pickup box to represent each of the items.

If I had to wager a guess, I'd assume that the 'C' almost certainly isn't in game and probably represents 'cheat'. I'm totally unskilled so I'm not sure if there is any latent code to access this this cheat/invulnerability but I'm again almost certain that this functionality was likely needed by the play testers as this game is unforgiving son of a bitch and a bit of a waste of the Terminator license due to it's general not-goodness.
