ReplayBurners presents The Punisher (Arcade) with no deaths - Part 6 of 6

"Goodnight, fat boy!"

The next room is it - the final boss battle with the Kingpin. I'm surprised the carpet doesn't catch on fire when he throws his cigar down.

The Kingpin is huge. He actually takes up about half the screen! The Bogarts here are his flunkies at the beginning, but his next two have guns. Throw enemies at him, break the furniture to get weapons you can use against him, and when the game allows you to, try to shoot Kingpin with your gun. Unless you're saving your bombs for a high score (the bombs give you a 20K bonus for each one you have left at the end of the stage when you win), use your bombs when you're low on health. His slap has some range, and he'll also attack you with his cane. His leap attack (in which he tries to sit on you - what the crap, seriously, Capcom?) is also pretty dangerous, too. He can grab and throw you if you're too close, and he'll also smoke a cigar and breathe the smoke on you! What a jerk!

One of the more interesting ways to beat him is to trap him in a corner and use your super on him. You'd better be ready to avoid his grab attack, though.

Of course, the most interesting way to do it is shown in the final battle ad nauseum. Just throw him, roll up to him, throw him again, roll up to him, throw him again, rinse, lather, repeat.

When it's all over, the King Hotel collapses. Enjoy your ending, as well as two digitized photos that didn't appear in the Western version. I think it's easy to figure out why both of them were omitted when the game came to the West.
