Dragon Spirit/Stage 3

Once the text "STAGE 3" has appeared on the screen and Amul has started moving forward once again the stage's main theme will immediately start to be heard from the Yamaha YM-2151 as fifty Saults come flying towards you from the top of the screen while firing projectiles at you; once you have shot a Level-3 flame at each of these to kill them, fifty Swallowtails will come flying towards you, from the top of the screen. Once you've shot a Level-3 flame at each of them to kill them, you will come to a Red Egg on the right side of the screen - and once you have dropped a bomb on it to destroy it, a red orb with the Star of David on it will come flying out of it towards Amul. Once you have collected it (for the extra points), the last of the three "FIRE" rectangles in the bottom-right corner of the screen will once again be filled; you'll then come to a Blue Egg on the right side of the screen. Once you have dropped a bomb on it to destroy it, a blue orb with the Barbados trident on it will come flying out of it towards Amul - and once you have collected this (again, for the extra points), you will come to another Red Egg on the right side of the screen. Once you have dropped bomb on it to destroy it, another red orb with the Star of David on it will come flying out of it towards Amul; once you have collected this one (once again, for the extra points), the first of the three "FIRE" rectangles in the bottom-right corner of the screen will yet again be filled. The first non-boss enemy that takes more than 1 hit to kill is about to appear...

A Peacock will then come flying down from the top of the screen, open his tail into a fan, and start firing his feathers at you; once you've shot two Level-3 or Level-2 flames (or four Level-1 flames) at him to kill him, he will explode into eight smaller feathers, which must be avoided. Another Peacock will then come flying down from the top of that screen, open his tail into a fan, then start firing his feathers at you - and once you have shot two Level-3 or Level-2 flames (or four Level-1 flames) at him to kill him, he will explode into eight smaller feathers which must again be avoided. A third Peacock will then come flying down from the top of that screen, open his tail into a fan, then start firing his feathers at you; once you have shot two Level-3 or Level-2 flames (or four Level-1 flames) at him to kill him, he'll explode into eight smaller feathers which must once again be avoided. A fourth Peacock will then come flying down from the top of the screen, open his tail into a fan and start firing his feathers at you - and once you have fired off two Level-3 or Level-2 flames (or four Level-1 flames) at him to kill him, he will explode into eight smaller feathers (which must yet again be avoided). A Geze will then emerge from a hole in the ground on the left side of the screen, and spit five projectiles at you; once you have dropped a bomb on him to kill him, a second Geze will emerge from another hole in the ground on that right side of the screen, and spit five projectiles at you. Once you have dropped a bomb on him to kill him, a third Geze will emerge from a third hole in the ground on that left side of the screen, and spit five projectiles at you; once you have dropped a bomb on him to kill him, a fourth Geze (who is flashing) will emerge from a fourth hole in the ground on that right side of the screen, and spit five projectiles at you. Once you have dropped a bomb on him, to kill him, he'll send a (randomly-generated) powerup flying towards Amul - and once you've collected this, it will take its effect on Amul. You will then come to a Dorler that is spitting projectiles at you from its positions in the centre of the screen; once you have dropped a bomb on it to kill it, you will come to two more Dorlers that are spitting projectiles at you from their positions on the left side of the screen. Once you have dropped a bomb on both of them, to kill them, you will come to a third Red Egg, on that left side of the screen - and once you have dropped a bomb on it to destroy it, a third red orb with the Star of David on it will come flying out of it towards Amul. Once you have collected it for the extra points, the second of the three "FIRE" rectangles in the bottom-right corner of the screen will yet again be filled as two more Geze emerge from the swamp on the right side of the screen, and spit ten projectiles at you; once you have dropped a bomb on both of these to kill them, a fifth Peacock will come flying down from the top of the screen, open his tail into a fan, then start firing his feathers at you. Once you have shot two Level-3 or Level-2 flames (or four Level-1 flames), at him to kill him he will explode into eight smaller feathers (which must, for the fifth time, be avoided) - and a seventh Geze will then emerge from a fifth hole in the ground upon the right side of the screen and spit five projectiles at you. Once you have dropped a bomb on him to kill him, you will come to a fourth Dorler that is spitting projectiles at you from its position on the left side of the screen; once you have dropped a bomb on it to kill it, an eighth Geze will emerge from the swamp on the right side of the screen and spit five projectiles at you. Once you have dropped a bomb on it to kill it, a sixth Peacock will come flying down from the top of the screen, open his tail into a fan, then start firing his feathers at you - and once you have shot two Level-3 flames or Level-2 flames (or four Level-1 flames) at him to kill him, he'll explode into eight smaller feathers (which must for the sixth time be avoided). An eighth Geze will then emerge from the swamp on the left side of the screen and spit five projectiles at you; once you have dropped a bomb on him to kill him, a ninth Geze will emerge from the swamp on the right side of the screen and spit five projectiles at you. Once you have dropped a bomb on him to kill him, you will come to a fifth Dorler, that is spitting projectiles at you from its position on the right side of the screen - and once you have dropped a bomb on it to kill it, a tenth Geze will emerge from a sixth hole in the ground on the left side of the screen, and spit five projectiles at you. Once you have dropped a bomb on him to kill him, you'll come to a sixth Dorler that is spitting projectiles at you from its position on the left side of the screen; once you've dropped a bomb on it to kill it, an eleventh Geze will emerge from a seventh hole in the ground on the right side of the screen and spit five more projectiles at you. Once you have dropped a bomb on it to kill it, you will come to another Blue Egg on the right side of the screen - and once you have dropped a bomb on it to destroy it, another blue orb with the Barbados trident on it will come flying out of it towards Amul. Once you have collected it for the extra points, you will come to a seventh Dorler that is spitting projectiles at you from its position on the right side of the screen; once you have dropped a bomb on it to kill it, a twelfth Geze will emerge from an eighth hole in the ground upon the left side of the screen and spit five projectiles at you. Once you have dropped a bomb on it to kill it, a seventh (flashing) Peacock will come flying down from the top of that screen, open his tail into a fan, then start firing his feathers at you - and once you've shot two Level-3 or Level-2 flames (or four Level-1 flames) at him to kill him, he'll explode into eight smaller feathers (which must, for the seventh time, be avoided) and send a second randomly-generated powerup flying towards Amul. Once you have collected it, it will again take its effect on Amul; you'll then come to a Rope Wood on the right side of the screen, that is extending its branches towards you (and although the branches can be destroyed by Amul's flames, the Rope Woods themselves are the first indestructible enemy of this game, so you will not be able to escape them until they have scrolled off the bottom of the screen). Once it has scrolled off the bottom of the screen, you will come to another Rope Wood on that left side of the screen that is extending its branches towards you - and once it has scrolled off the bottom of the screen you will come to a third Rope Wood on the right side of the screen that is extending its branches towards you. Once it has scrolled off the bottom of the screen, you will come up to a fourth Rope Wood on that left side of the screen, that is extending its branches towards you; once it has scrolled off the bottom of the screen, you'll come to a fifth Rope Wood upon the right side of the screen, that is extending its branches towards you. Once it has scrolled off the bottom of the screen, you will come to two more Dorlers, that are spitting projectiles at you from their position on the left and right sides of the screen - and once you have dropped a bomb on both of them to kill them, you will come to a sixth Rope Wood on the left side of the screen that's extending its branches towards you. Once it has scrolled off the bottom of the screen, you'll come up to two more Dorlers, that are spitting projectiles at you from their positions on the left and right sides of the screen; once you have dropped a bomb on both of them to kill them, you will come to a seventh Rope Wood on the right side of the screen that's extending its branches towards you. Once it has scrolled off the bottom of the screen you'll come to a fourth Red Egg in the centre of the screen - and once you have dropped a bomb on it to destroy it a fourth red orb with the Star of David on it will come flying out of it towards Amul. Once you have collected it (yet again, for the extra points), the last of the three "FIRE" rectangles in that bottom-right corner of the screen will yet again be filled, as you come to a Honeycomb on the left side of the screen, which has ten Bees emerging from it; once you've shot single Level-3 flame at each of the Bees to kill them and a total of six Level-3 flames (or eight Level-2 flames, or sixteen Level-1 flames), at that Honeycomb to destroy it, you will come to a twelfth Dorler that is spitting projectiles at you, from its position upon that left side of the screen. Once you have dropped a bomb on it to kill it, you will come to another Honeycomb on the right side of the screen, which has ten more Bees emerging from it - and once you have shot a single Level-3 flame at each of the Bees to kill them and total of six Level-3 flames (or eight Level-2 flames, or sixteen Level-1 flames) at the Honeycomb to destroy it, you will come to third Blue Egg, upon the left side of the screen. Once you have dropped a bomb on it to destroy it, a third blue orb with the Barbadian trident on it will come flying out of it towards Amul; once you have collected it (for the fifth time, for the extra points), you will come to a third Honeycomb in the centre of the screen which has ten more Bees emerging from it. Once you've shot a single Level-3 flame at each of the Bees to kill them and a total of six Level-3 flames (or eight Level-2 flames, or sixteen Level-1 flames) at the Honeycomb to destroy it, you will come to two more Dorlers that are spitting projectiles at you from their positions upon the left and right sides of the screen - and once you've dropped a bomb on both of them to kill them two more Peacocks will come flying down from the top of the screen, open their tails into fans, and start firing their feathers at you. Once you have shot two Level-3 or Level-2 flames (or four Level-1 flames) at both of them to kill them, they'll explode into eight smaller feathers (which must, for the eighth time, be avoided); two more Peacocks (the eleventh is flashing) will then come flying down from the top of that screen, open their tails into fans, and start firing their feathers at you. Once you have shot two Level-3 or Level-2 flames (or four Level-1 flames), at both of these to kill them, they will explode into eight smaller feathers (which must, for a ninth time, be avoided), and the eleventh one will send a third randomly-generated powerup flying towards Amul - and once you have collected it, it will once again take its effect on Amul. The main theme that you were hearing from the Yamaha YM-2151 on this stage will then fade out...

...as Amul stops moving forward once again and the game's third "boss" theme starts to be heard from it instead; Guri Teriasu (the first static boss of the game) will then open up and start spitting shurikens at Amul (these can be "blocked" by his flames for 100 extra points apiece, but it is advisable to keep moving, to avoid being overwhelmed by them). Once you have dropped eight bombs on one of the eggs that are surrounding it, it will be destroyed - and once you have dropped eight more bombs on one of the nine remaining eggs surrounding it, it too will be destroyed. Once you have dropped eight more bombs upon seven of the eight remaining eggs that are surrounding it, they will again be destroyed; however, once you have dropped eight more bombs on that last remaining egg that is surrounding it, its destruction will cause Guri Teriasu to explode with it. The game will then segue into the fourth stage - which features the second "indestructible" enemy of the game (the Hurricanes), and even though they are ground-based, they can still reach up to Amul.
