In this entry, we get to see a little more variety with an underwater stage thrown in. Also, there's an evil Bravoman running around, too.

Stage 3

This is the first underwater stage. The D-Pad lets you move, Button II lets you shoot missiles and Button I lets you drop bombs.

There will be enemies everywhere, and while some will simply move forwards, others will either home in on you, drop down or stay still while firing projectiles. Thankfully, the projectiles can also be destroyed. Keep an eye on the screen as you move around; you never know when and where enemies will seemingly show up from out of nowhere.

The boss here is a guy riding a two-headed dragon. Shoot down the dragon heads while avoiding the projectiles they spit out. After the heads go down, you can shoot down the boss proper, get a rice cake for your efforts and head to the next stage.

Stage 4

The green guys with the bombs strapped on them take two hits to kill.

The platforms will slowly rise up, stay up there for a few seconds, then quickly drop down like some sort of guillotine. If these platforms hit you on the way down, you're taking damage.

You can either take the high road or the low road.

It is possible to do a super jump by holding Button I and then holding Button II; I get the timing down better in a future episode.

The snakes and the mice just move towards you, as do the green ninjas, but the green ninjas also throw bombs at you.

The boss here is some sort of rock 'n roll jester who throws knives at you. It is possible to duck under his knives if you duck as soon as he throws them and stay ducked down, but most of the time, you will have to stay on the move to avoid getting hit. The boss will stay in one place on the ground some of the time, but you will have to stay on the move to avoid getting hit. You'll be able to get food for red icons after this.

Stage 5

The mole robots will shoot a missile before moving towards you. They take four hits before going down.

The fist power-up gives you move powerful attacks.

The green and red robot that has electricity coursing through it will fire a mouth beam that will pack a punch and stun you for a few seconds.

Down-Left and Down-Right lets you crawl.

The boss here is an evil Bravoman. He fights much like you do, and the best way to fight him is to strike with crouching attacks while keeping a fair distance away. You may take damage from this boss moving through you, but as long as you keep crouch attacking, you should have a good shot at beating him. You'll be able to get food for red icons after this.
