The final level takes us to a haunted house, and it's the most challenging yet.
Level 5: Haunted House
Password: Roger, Webbly, Kelly, Bobby's Dad
Derek shows up. He tells Bobby that Mom wants him to make sure he cleans out his closet. Of course, Derek knows how to tease Bobby, and tells him it's a haunted closet.
Bobby throws pumpkins in this level, and this time you're forced back into the usual short-ranged arc that Bobby's throwing weapon usually has.
Here, X lets you swing back and forth on the statue heads on the wall that act as hooks, as well as the wooden stumps that stick out form the side of the wooden columns. You'll have to jump to the other side a la Super Castlevania IV. If you're not used to the swing animation by now, you're in for a tough time. Since this is a new thing, you'll have to get used to this as well. You'll have to do this rather quickly, because you'll be swinging over bottomless pits before you know it. It takes a little bit of time, but once you're able to get the swing of swinging, you can beat this stage.
A lot of enemies, such as the blue ghouls, the zombies and the skeletons move back and forth, but the skeletons move faster than the others. You'll also want to take down the candle monsters that come out of the candle holders.
The purple monsters with the umbrellas will send bats at you when their umbrellas open up. They take one hits to defeat, but they take a while to die.
The little green guys that roll across the floor will drop from the sky with no warning, but you can block them with the A button.
The branches that stick out of the wooden columns that alternate between low and high can be terrible if your timing isn't spot on. Once you get past the stumps above the bottomless pits, though, the worst is over. The second section is perhaps the hardest part of the entire game, and one where you should bring plenty of lives to.
In the shooting section, Bobby is a witch on a broom that spits the pumpkins forward.
The final enemy is some weird purple creature with fly wings. Avoid the little green guys he throws downward, stay away from the bats that come at you, and keep to the very left side of the screen as always. Keep throwing pumpkins at him no matter what, and make sure Bobby is at least at the same height as the monster's eyes so that you can minimize damage.
When you beat the third and final boss, you get a pretty basic ending, but an ending nevertheless. Good job!
