The Gangster's Lair

This is by far the hardest regular level of the game. You'll need a wine bottle to raise the water levels for a bomb involving a fish tank (I guess), you'll need to take a bag of money to Jack's bar, you'll need to blow up a barricade with a bomb, and you'll need to take the key to the exit. For all the non-bomb objectives, you'll be chased after by gangsters, and the key gangster will have a gun.

There are enemies littering this level, including some in garbage cans and others in windows. The enemies in the garbage cans and the windows cannot be defeated. Thankfully, any bullets that the enemies here shoot will have limited range. 

For the bottle of wine, you'll need to get it at Montana's Bar on ground level. You'll then need to head to the right as you make your way up, and you'll also have to go through a door and a hallway. At the other end of the hallway is the neon sign pointing to Jack's Bar, but if you drop down and to the right, you'll be where you need to take the wine bottle so the gangster with the dynamite plunger can cause an explosion at the bank at ground level.

You'll then need to head into the bank and pick up the money, then get it to Jack's Bar while a gangster chases after you. The pink neon arrows will lead to the bar to an extent, but even then, you have to make quite the trek to get this done, going through a few windows and indoor passsages and even running across the rooftops in order to do it. All the while, you have to remember exactly where you need to go to get to the area above the giant green truck so you can go down and to the right of that to get to the bar.

From here, get in the bar and go up the stairs to get the bomb out of the building, through the general store, through two windows, and then down and to the right to get to the key area.

The trek to the exit is the absolute worst. The exit is actually above the first boarded window just after the start, and when you reach it, you have to leap left to the ladder, jump up the ladder, and then head right to the door. The only problem is that it's just distant enough from the rest of the maze that this level is, and that the platform where the ladder is blends in with the building it's on, that you'd have no idea that path was there in the first place.

At least this level is over. Good riddance.
