Lucky & Wild/Stage 6

''WE FOUND "BIG CIGAR'S" HIDE-OUT NEAR THE CASINO. THE AREA'S BEEN CORDONED OFF. GET THERE AND TAKE THEM DOWN!''

Time: 270 seconds (4:30)

Once the first-person view of Lucky and Wild's car has reappeared on the screen, and the stage's main theme starts to be heard from the Yamaha YM-2151, you will come to a team of police officers who are firing shots at the building upon the right side of the screen; "Big Cigar" will then fire a shot at it from his black car (which has the text of "BOSS" flashing up above it), and shatter its windscreen for a sixth and final time before driving away, followed closely behind by "Keel"'s new black truck. If you are Lucky, you will then have to step upon the pedal to accelerate the car as you come to a Black Car with a Carlos and a Galvez firing shots at you from it - and once you have fired a shot at the Carlos and the Galvez to kill them and enough shots at the Black Car to destroy it, you will come to another Black Car, with another Carlos, another Galvez and a Killer firing shots and laser beams at you from it. Once you have fired a shot at the Carlos, the Galvez and the Killer to kill them, and enough shots at the Black Car to destroy it, you will come to a third Black Car (with a Roger and a third Carlos firing shots at you from it); once you fire a shot at the Roger and the Carlos to kill them and enough shots at the Black Car to destroy it, you'll come to a fourth Black Car with a fourth Carlos, a third Galvez and a second Killer firing shots and laser beams at you from it. Once you've fired a shot at the Carlos, the Galvez and the Killer to kill them and enough shots at the Black Car to destroy it a Chopper will drop down onto the car from the top of the screen, then start firing shots at you - and once you've fired a shot at him to kill him, you'll drive into a tunnel as a fifth Black Car comes driving into view from behind you, with a fifth Carlos and a fourth Galvez firing shots at you from it. Once you have fired a shot at the Carlos and the Galvez to kill them and enough shots at the Black Car to destroy it, you'll come out of the tunnel, as three Red Bikes drive into view from the screen's right side (while throwing Molotov cocktails at you); once you fire a shot at each of these to kill them, three more Red Bikes will drive into view from the screen's left side, while throwing Molotov cocktails at you. Once you've fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to two more Black Cars (with two more Carloses, a fifth Galvez, a second Roger, a Sniper, and a third Killer firing shots and both missiles at you from them) - and once you fire a shot at all of the criminals to kill them and enough shots at both of the Black Cars to destroy them, you will come to "Gambit"'s new gray truck as its back opens up to reveal five Oil Drums which will start rolling towards you. Once you fire a shot at each of them to destroy them a Jim will emerge from behind the three boxes in the back of the truck then start throwing grenades at you; once you've fired a shot at him to kill him, a Chris will emerge from behind the boxes in the back of the truck, then start firing missiles at you. Once you have fired a shot at him to kill him, a Bomber will emerge from behind the boxes in the back of the truck and start throwing an infinite amount of additional Oil Drums at you - and once you have fired a shot at him to kill him, and enough shots at the truck to blow its back doors (and engine) out, it will slow down to a stop, as an eighth Black Car comes driving into view from behind you (with a seventh Carlos and a third Roger firing shots at you from it). Once you have fired a shot at the Carlos and the Roger to kill them and enough shots at the Black Car to destroy it you will come up to a ninth Black Car with an eighth Carlos and a fourth Roger firing shots at you from it; once you have fired a shot at the Carlos and the Roger to kill them, and enough shots at the Black Car to destroy it, a tenth Black Car will drive into view from behind you (with a ninth Carlos and a fifth Roger firing shots at you from it). Once you've fired a shot at the Carlos and the Roger to kill them, and enough shots at the Black Car to destroy it, you'll come to an eleventh Black Car with a tenth Carlos firing shots at you from it - and once you have fired a shot at the Carlos to kill him, and enough shots at the Black Car to destroy it, you will come to "Keel"'s aforementioned new black truck as its back shutter will open up to reveal a blue car, which will roll down the lower shutter onto the road to reveal a white car. The white car will then follow the blue one down the lower shutter onto the road and reveal a twelfth Black Car; the Black Car will then follow the white one down the lower shutter onto the road as a Daniel emerges from it and begins firing shots at you. Once you have fired a shot at the Daniel to kill him and enough shots at the Black Car to destroy it, the truck will start shooting jets of flame at you from its roofmounted flamethrower as two Andys appear in its back and start firing tomahawk missiles at you - and once you fire off enough shots at the truck to blow its engine, it will explode and slow down to a stop. A Black Helicopter will then hover down into view from the top of the screen while dropping Parachute Bombs on you; once you fire enough shots at it to destroy it, the stage's "boss" theme will start to be heard from the Yamaha YM-2151, as you'll come to "Big Cigar"'s aforementioned black car with two more Carloses firing shots at you from it. Once you've fired a shot at both of these to kill them, you'll come up to ten more (stationary) Oil Drums - and once you have fired a shot at each of them to destroy them, a thirteenth Carlos and a second Daniel will emerge from "Big Cigar"'s black car and start firing shots at you. Once you've fired a shot at both of them to kill them, you'll come to sixty more (stationary) Oil Drums; once you have fired a shot at each of them to destroy them, a diamond-shaped sign which has an exclamation mark inside it and the text of "DANGER!" will start flashing up on the screen as you crash through the shutter of a harbour warehouse. A fourteenth Carlos and third Daniel will now emerge from "Big Cigar"'s car and start firing shots at you - and once you have fired a shot at both of them to kill them, a Fire and a Michael will emerge from "Big Cigar"'s black car and start throwing Molotov cocktails and grenades at you. Once you have fired a shot at both of them to kill them two more Fires will emerge from "Big Cigar"'s black car and start throwing Molotov cocktails at you; once you have fired a shot at both of them to kill them, two more Michaels will emerge from "Big Cigar"'s black car, and start throwing grenades at you. Once you have fired a shot at both of them to kill them, you will come out of the warehouse, as "Big Cigar"'s black car slows down and stops (as does yours) - and "Big Cigar" will then emerge, to hide behind the four boxes on the right side of the screen then start firing more laser beams at you. As you're firing on him, the boot of his car will open up, and fire tomahawk missiles at you; once you have fired enough shots at him your car will slowly move forward (towards the boxes). "Big Cigar" will then suddenly come back up into view from the bottom of the screen, then start firing more shots at you - and once you fire a shot at him, he will fall down off the bottom of the screen again, and the screen will cut to a static image of Lucky and Wild pointing their guns at him. It'll then move downwards as the game ending theme starts to be heard from the Yamaha YM-2151 and two shots of Lucky and Wild fly into view from the left and right side of the screen above it, then widen as the camera pans upwards into the night sky; you'll then receive 80 bonus points (or "dollars") for every criminal you've killed during the stage (for a sixth and final time, kept track of by that computer in that bottom-right corner of the screen), along with 4000 bonus points for capturing "Big Cigar" himself. It is also worth noting that "Big Cigar" is aged 56 (meaning that he was born in 1936), and his crime is gang ringleader - however, if the timer had run out, he'll jump into the ocean and swim away as the text of "GOT AWAY" appears on the screen, and you will not receive the 4000-point bonus for his capture.



You can now sit back and enjoy the ending sequence, which shows Lucky and Wild saluting the Neo Field Police Chief before the screen cuts back to the first-person view of their car automatically driving along at its maximum speed of 181mph, as the game's staff credits are scrolling upwards over it:

The screen will then fade into a shot of Lucky and Wild's car parked outside their "pad" at sunset, before fading out into the text of "GAME OVER"; the game will then go into high-score mode as the high-score theme starts to be heard from the Yamaha YM-2151. Your combined score (like in Toy Pop, Cosmo Gang: The Video and Bakuretsu Quiz Ma-Q Dai-Bōken) will most likely be the highest on the cabinet to date, so you should use the lightgun to enter your initials at the top of the table with pride by aiming it at the "letter-target" you want to shatter, and squeezing the trigger to fire at it (they'll pop back up again shortly after doing so) and register the letter - and once both of you have done this three times, the game will go back into attract mode.
