plasticallan plays Wrath of the Black Manta - Part 3 of 5

You remind me of the babe. What babe? The babe with the power. What power? The power of voodoo. Who do? You do. Do what? Remind me of the babe.

Part 3

Rio De Janeiro

The Art of the Fire Bomb will be in the slot for your neutral (read: standing still) charge attack. This causes fireballs to rain down from the top of the screen.

Use the Fire Bomb art to take out the ninjas above you. When you get to the top, use the Fire Ring art to take a ride on a ninja kite again. Use Missiles to take out the ninjas again, and land on the purple cruise ship. There is a note in the second door.

"Kids are trapped in the first storage room." When you get off the ship, the first door you'll see contains a kid. All the kids in Rio look like a creepy version of 1970s Michael Jackson. He'll tell you that if you shoot the right pillar when you go outside, a hidden door will appear. Go inside and get the health if you need it.

When you leave the second door, there will be a red guy to your left. Unfortunately, he's kinda useless in the "interrogate me for information" department. Same for the red guy you see when you get off the ship.

When you drop to the bottom of the underground section, duck and shoot at the left wall to get another power meter extension.

The kid in the door that is all the way to the right will tell you to shoot at the right wall. Duck and shoot at the right wall and you'll find another power meter extension.

When you make it back above ground, you'll come across a storage building with a lot of doors. Most will contain goons that you can kill for more health, one contains some free health that you can collect, but the last contains a note.

"Go out and shoot the right pillar. You'll find a hidden door." Go all the way to the nearby right wall, then duck and shoot at it. You'll find another door that leads to a kid. He'll tell you to go underground and shoot the left pillar to find a secret door. Go underground, duck and shoot the left wall when you make it to the bottom and you'll find another power meter extension.

Continue to the right and you'll find another red guy. Interrogate him, and you'll find out the organization's name is DRAT. He doesn't know the name of the leader (although we already know it's El Toro, even though Black Manta doesn't know yet).

Once you make it above ground again, you'll meet the Voodoo Warrior, who reminds me of Samedi from Live and Let Die with all the white that he's wearing. Use the Art of Invincibility to turn invincible, and keep using it to destroy him without taking any damage. He's that easy.

You'll learn the Art of the Fire Rain after beating this stage, and El Toro is finally aware that you're breaking through his defenses. He then flees to New York.
