PrinceWatercress plays Sumo Fighter - Part 10 of 15

After the big difficulty boost in Stage 4, Stage 5 goes back to being manageable. Next up is the Super difficulty...

First | Previous | Next | End

Hard - Stage 5

Stage 5-1

The floating head shows up just before you reach the bonus area. Also, there will be more enemies dropping down from the sky as you climb up the stage

Stage 5-2

There will be a couple of flying fireballs and demon heads through the area, especially where the bonus area is.

Stage 5-3

This stage has no changes between difficulties, so I'm just going to cut and paste here.

This area is pretty straightforward. If you need any power-ups, take the lower path in the fork in the road.

There are two bosses to end this journey. The first is a shogun. If you strike him, he will jump kick at you. To beat him, you'll need to jump over him, get all the way to the other side, then stomp as much as possible as he advances. When he gets close enough, you'll need to jump over him and repeat. When he is beaten, he will leave a full health pick-up.

As for the second boss, wait on the right side (but not too far to the right) and keep pressing B to palm strike. As the boss approaches, keep attacking. When you stun him, keep attacking and you'll bring him down very easily.

You'll get a password (which you should write down and remember for later), then you'll get a message congratulating you before telling you to play on Super. Yes, that password will be useful for Super.
