In this episode, I can't tell a clownfish from a goldfish...at all.
Area 3: Water Land
Stage 3-1
The starfish move really fast, the jellyfish will try to shock you in four directions, and the blue submarine robots blow you back. These robots are the first enemies you'll see that take two hits to kill.
The fish in the foreground are just there for show. Hudson Soft sure knew how to program for this system.
The Pink Louie just does a dance when you press Button II. At least you can still ride him for an extra hit.
Stage 3-2
The gray fish move really slow, while the crabs take two hits to kill. Then again, the grey fish do, too. The only difference is that the grey fish can move through the destroyable blocks.
The pits are dead ends.
The brown submarine robots can sink into the ground and move faster than usual when they do, but they'll eventually come out of the ground and move around as normal. At that point, they're vulnerable to your bombs again. These also take two hits.
The picture of the three bombs allows you to lay down a line of bombs by double-tapping Button I.
Stage 3-3
There will be some smaller fish that have shadows that will be able to move back and forth in the permanent walls that are part of the stage. Don't confuse these with some of the ones that are enemies, which have larger shadows and can't move into them. Seriously, those clown fish drove me nuts for a good thirty seconds.
The second section has a sunken ship, which is pretty nice.
The picture of Bomberman is a 1-Up.
Stage 3-4
The picture of the Heart is a free hit. You can have only one free hit in reserve.
The picture of the brick wall allows you to walk through destructible walls.
Boss
The boss is a crab. Get behind it and bomb the center of the crab, and avoid the bubbles, which come out in fours and are fired at you in a 45-degree angle. If the bubbles touch your bombs, they make the bombs basically useless. After enough hits, you'll be fighting its bony shell. This time, there will be eight bubbles with one being shot in each direction. Stay on the move, and do not stand near the crab as you keep bombing the crap out of it. After enough hits, the crab is gone.
You can also stay in front of it while dropping multiple bombs, if you need an alternate strategy. You can also put a bomb in front of the crab, then lay another down to the south of it while the crab grabs at you.
Word to the wise: never be to the side of it...ever. The crab will rush at you, and running away from it at this point will be hard, especially when it takes the shortest possible path to you once it speeds up.
