Marvel Land/World 4-4

Time: 6½ "clocks"

Once Prince Paco has reappeared on the screen, start walking to the right as you come to three Totem Poles who are spitting fireballs at you from their positions on this small platform above you; you will then have to jump up once you have reached the edge of the platform as you come to three more Totem Poles that are spitting fireballs at you from their positions on another small platform above you. You will then have to jump up once you have reached the edge of the platform as you come to three more Totem Poles that are spitting fireballs at you from their positions on this third small platform above you - and you will then come to a weighted platform which has spikes on its underside. Once you have walked onto this weighted platform, it will slant downwards to the side that Prince Paco is standing on; once you have dropped in the area underneath it, you will come to two Medusa Heads who are firing lasers from their eyes at you from their positions on the left and right sides of the screen. You can then collect six Bonus French Fries in front of you for 700 extra points apiece before jumping back onto the aforementioned weighted platform as it slants back and forth - and once you have done so, drop down once you have reached the edge of the platform as you come to two more Medusa Heads who are firing lasers from their eyes at you from their positions in front of you and on the underside of the platform above you. Once you have jumped over the third Medusa Head and crouched under the fourth one, jump up once you have reached the edge of the platform; once you have done so, the double doors on the right side of the screen will open up and Prince Paco will walk through them for his fourth and final boss encounter in the game (which will be very similar to the first - only with an added twist once you have won it).

Once Prince Paco has reappeared inside the boss room, the Mole King himself will be standing in front of him; he has Princess Luxy imprisoned in the top-right corner of the room, and once she has called out to Prince Paco, he will tell him that he must beat him at another Rock-Paper-Scissors minigame if he wishes to rescue her. Once the camera has zoomed in on the characters, the Bunny Girl will appear in the top-left corner of the screen to give you an explanation on how to beat the Mole King (which is identical to the explanation she gave you on how to beat the Great Condor). As with the Great Condor, Rock beats Scissors, Paper  beats Rock, and Scissors  beats Paper; the hands will be decided randomly by the slot machines at the bottom of the screen. If you have a winning hand, you can press the Jump Button to strike the Mole King with a hammer to win that round - but if you have a losing or tied hand and press the Jump Button to strike him anyway, he will tell you that it was not fair (much like the aforementioned Great Condor would) and you will lose that round. If he has a winning hand, you must shield yourself by pushing the joystick to the right to prevent him from striking you with his own hammer - and the best of three wins this battle. Once you have beaten the Mole King at his minigame, he will grow to twice his original size and start flying around above Prince Paco while firing lasers at him once he has recovered from his stun; the three Trident Crystals that the Guardian Fairies had given Prince Paco after he had rescued them in the three previous worlds will also start to revolve around him in a clockwise direction at this point, and they must be used to attack the Mole King. Once you have hit the Mole King twenty-five times with your Trident Crystals, he will explode and the mirror in which Princess Luxy was imprisoned will also explode - and she will then fly down to Prince Paco's side as you receive 100000 points for each life you have remaining. The ground of the boss room will then start to shake underneath Prince Paco and Princess Luxy's feet...but they only have a single chance to escape, so try not to put your foot through the cabinet in a fit of anger if you fail!

Once Prince Paco has reappeared outside the boss room with Princess Luxy holding onto his left hand, start walking to the right over one pit of lava which has eighteen fireballs jumping out of it (although they cannot reach you) and sixty-four logs (which will fall down as soon as you stand on them) over it; once you have walked onto each of the logs in turn, the forty-eight icicles on the underside of the platform above you will fall down as you pass under them. Once you have bypassed them, you will come to a landing on the platform beyond this first pit of lava - and you will then come to another pit of lava which has seven more logs (which, once again, will fall down as soon as you stand on them) over it. Once you have walked onto each of them in turn, the forty-eight additional icicles on the platform above you will fall down as you pass under them; once you have bypassed them, you will come to landing on the platform beyond this second pit of lava. You will then come to this third pit of lava which has three more logs (which, yet again, will fall down as soon as you stand on them) over it - and once you have walked onto each of them in turn, the thirty-two additional icicles on the underside of the platform above you will fall down once you have passed under them. Once have bypassed them, you will come to a landing on the platform beyond this third pit of lava; you will then come to this fourth pit of lava which has two more logs (which, for a fourth time, will fall down as soon as you stand on them) over it. Once you have walked onto both of them in turn, the thirty-two additional icicles on the underside of the platform above you will fall down as you pass under them - and once you have bypassed them, you will come to a landing on the platform beyond this fourth pit of lava. You will then come to this fifth pit of lava which has three more fireballs jumping out of it (although, once again, they cannot reach to you) and three more logs (which, for a fifth time, will fall down as soon as you stand on them) over it; once you have walked onto each of them in turn, the forty-eight additional icicles on the underside of the platform above you will fall down as you pass under them. Once you have bypassed them, you will come to a landing on the platform beyond this fifth pit of lava - and you will then come to a sixth pit of lava with twenty-four more logs (which, for a sixth time, will fall down as soon as you stand on them) over it. Once you have walked onto each of them in turn, the forty-eight additional icicles on the underside of the platform above you will fall down as you pass under them; once you have bypassed them, you will come to a landing on the platform beyond this sixth pit of lava. You will then have to jump into this enormous pirate ship that is swinging back and forth over a seventh pit of lava - and once you have used the movement of this pirate ship to be catapulted out of the cavern, you will receive a "Clear Bonus" of 100000 points as the screen fades out. You can now sit back and enjoy the ending, which shows Prince Paco and Princess Luxy landing outside the cavern and watching the enormous rock in the centre of Marvel Land (which had appeared in the background of Worlds 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 4-1 and 4-2) sink to the bottom of the ocean before jumping up into the air.

After the credits have finished, the game will go into high-score mode; your score will most likely be the highest on the cabinet to date, so you should enter your initials at the top of the table with pride. Once you have done so, the game will go back into attract mode - and end the decade of the 1980s for Nakamura's Manufacturing Company Limited of Tokyo, Japan.
