The game changes gears for the next two stages. In this entry, we shoot things down in a plane with Porky before eating wall meat with Taz.
Stage 3: Porky Pig
Unlike the first two stage, this stage is more of a horizontal shmup. The D-Pad lets you move in eight directions, while B shoots.
The saucers are very easy to take out, while the satellite take more abuse. Enemy projectiles will be in the form of black balls. Bombs will blow up, and they take a lot of abuse before being destroyed by your shots.
It won't be long until you face a with on a broomstick. The witch has a black star that orbits around it, and you don't want to touch either of them. Shoot at the witch while avoiding the pumpkin projectiles, and never line yourself up with the witch for very long or else the witch will careen right into you.
When the witch dies, you'll have to face the star. Get in close to the star and fire away at it, pumping it with star shots as much as possible while avoiding the star's three-way shots. The star will shoot a spoon and a fork at you. The spoon just moves towards you and can easily be shot down, but the fork takes a lot of abuse and homes in on you. Even moving around the boss in a circle isn't enough, you'll have to aggressively shoot it down like you have to with the star boss in order to get rid of it. The star will slowly move to the left as it moves up and down, and when it gets too far to the left, it will return to the right side of the screen. If you take too long, you'll have to wait on the star to back off before shooting again.
If you die at any point in the stage, you re-spawn immediately, as opposed to the other stages in the game, where you get sent back a bit.
Once you take out the witch and the star, it's on to Stage 4.
Stage 4: Taz
This is a bonus area. The Control Pad lets you move around (including through the rocks), and A jumps. You'll need to grab all he meat that you can as the 60-second timer at the top center of the screen counts down, and for each piece of meat you get, you'll get 1,000 points. If you're fast and you know what you're doing, you can easily get the majority of them. And yes, the walls of rocks eventually does have an ending; I just never reach it.
Once you run out of time, you'll get 1,000 points for each piece of meat you've collected, then it's on to Stage 5.
