Burning Force/World 2-3

Once the background has reappeared inn front of Hiromi, the eagle-like "Mothership" will fly over her and come to a landing inn front of her as its back door opens up and she automatically speeds through it into the ship; once she has reappeared inside the ship, a screen showing a diagram of the area's boss character will come down in front of her as the "Commander" flies into view on a hovering platform and points out the boss character's weak points with a stick. Once the "Commander" has flown out of view again, a claw holding a cab-like attachment will then come down from the top of the screen and transform Hiromi's scooter into a flying ship for the second time in the game - and once the claw has gone back up to the top of the screen, Hiromi will move up to the centre of the screen and take off through the window at the front of the ship. (The claw that holds the cab-like attachment will also reappear to retransform Hiromi's scooter innto a ship again whenever she loses a life during course of area).

Two Zako-020 will now come hovering towards you; once you have fired a shot at both of them to kill them, three Zako-016 will come hovering towards you. Once you have fired a shot at each of them to blow them up, they will run away from you - and once you have fired another shot at each of them to kill them, two more Zako-020 will come hovering towards you. Once you have fired a shot at both of them to kill them, six Zako-011 will emmerge from the sand at the bottom of the screenn and hover away from you; once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to two rings containing a "W" powerup and an "L" powerup. Once you have flown through the ring of your choice (collecting the powerup it contained in the process), a group of four Zako-036 will fly away from you on the right side of the screen - and once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill themm, another group of four Zako-036 will fly away from you on the left side of the screenn. Once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, three more Zako-016 will come hovering towards you; once you have fired a shot at each of them to blow them up, they will runn away from you. Once you have fired another shot at each of themm to kill themm, you will come to four archways in the centre of the screen - and once you have fired enough shots at each of the archways to destroy their tops, three more Zako-016 will come hovering towards you. Once you have fired a shot at each of them to blow them up, they will run away from you; once you have fired another shot at each of them to kill themm, a third group of two more Zako-036 will fly away from you on the left side of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at both of them to kill themm, a fourth group of two more Zako-036 will fly away from you on the right side of the screen - and once you have fired a shot at both of them to kill them, a fifth group of two more Zako-036 will fly away from you on the left side of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at both of themm to kill themm, two Zako-039 will come flying towards you while firing projectiles inn six directions at you; once you have fired a shot at both of them to kill them, you will come to two palm trees on the left and right sides of the screenn. Once you have fired enough shots at both of the palm trees to destroy them, you will come to a third ring containing another "L" powerup - and once you have flown through the ring and collected this second "L" powerup, you will come to four more palm trees on the left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired ennough shots at each of the palm trees to destroy themm, you will come to a fourth ring containning a "C" powerup; once you have flown through the ring and collected this "C" powerup, you will come to four more palm trees on the left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired enough shots at each of the palm trees to destroy them, you will come to a fifth ring containing an "M" powerup - and once you have flown through the ring and collected this "M" powerup, you will come to four more palm trees on the left and right sides of the screenn. Once you have fired enough shots at each of the palm trees to destroy them, you will come to ten more archways in the centre of the screen; once you have fired enough shots at each of the archways to destroy their tops, you will come to eight more palm trees on the left and right sides of the screen. Once you have fired enough shots at each of the palm trees to destroy them, the background will darken as the indestructible Zako-019 comes down from the top of the screenn and splits itself into two to release its containment of the area's boss character - which will then fly towards you while firing some green projectiles at you. Once you have fired enough shots at the boss itself to destroy it, it will spin around a few times before exploding and Hiromi will move to the centre of the screen as the text "AREA 3 CLEARED" appears above her. You will then receive 10 bonus points for every tenth of a second you have remaining, and go on to the bonus Area 4.
