We've done well so far, but just when you thought the hard stages were over, here come the rapids!
Ranch
The mud here kills you instantly if you fall into it, so swing over it with the wooden posts. Also, watch out for men poking pitchforks downwards. Wait for the pitchforks to move upwards before passing by.
You can climb on drainpipes. This will allow you to grab a red cloth that you'll have to use later at a pile of logs with a bull rearing back in front of it. Go up to that pile of logs, press Down and the bull will get rid of the logs. Just be ready to jump over the bull afterwards.
Near the end, you can leap off the right edge of a house and walk on the roof of the house just to the right of it to avoid three pitchfork enemies.
You'll face another Dalton Brother here. He's just like the Jesse James battle, except there's a bull on-screen that you have to jump over every so often. Other than that, the battle isn't that difficult.
With two of the Dalton Brothers down, you'll get a telegram telling you to head to a Cheyenne village that has been supposedly ransacked by William and Joe Dalton. Unfortunately, you'll have to brave the...
Rapids
This is an auto-scrolling stage, and much like the Buffalo stage, there will be a lot of level memorization here. Jump over whirlpools and beavers; they will destroy the log rafts that you'll be using. Cracked log will break under your weight, so be ready to jump forwards once you land on one.
If you see a huge rock, push it forward immediately so you can use it as a platform. Also, there will be human enemies coming in from the left. They take two shots, but given how the level design is here, they will be the toughest two shots you'll have to make.
The solid log platforms will follow you where you go once you move past them, even if you're in mid-air after jumping off a large rock. Just be careful when you're on the log when it comes to jumping.
At the end, you'll get the same boss battle that did in the Buffalo stage. Same strategies apply. After this stage, you'll get a password.
