Marvel Land/World 3-4

Time: 14 "clocks"

Once Prince Paco has reappeared on the screen, walk up to the treasure chest is behind you to open it; once you have done so, a Pyon Mogle will emerge from it. Once you have jumped on him to kill him, you will come to two Oni who are firing bolts of lightning down at you - and once you have jumped on both of them to kill them and make their clouds disappear, you will come to a Medusa Head who is firing lasers from her eyes at you from her position on the underside of the platforms above you, which means that you will have to time a jump up to the edge of the platform carefully to avoid getting hit by the lasers. Once you have done so, crouch down to collect three Bonus Strawberries for 3000 extra points apiece - and once you have done so, you will come to a pool of orange water with a Purple Pirawani jumping out of it and a small platform that is moving up and down in a fixed position over it which has seven logs (which will fall down as soon as you stand on them) in front of it. Once you have jumped onto the aforementioned small platform, you will have to walk onto each of the logs in turn; once you have walked onto the third log, you will come to another Medusa Head who is firing lasers from her eyes at you from her position on the underside of the platforms above you. Once you have walked onto the seventh and final log, you must use its movement to jump onto the next solid platform as it falls - and once you have done so, you will have to drop down once you have reached the edge of the platform as you come to a spring with a pinball on the end of it and a total of four more Medusa Heads who are firing lasers from their eyes at you from their positions on the platform in front of you. Turn back to the left and start pushing the spring in that direction, then release it once it is fully compressed; the spring will then propel the pinball towards the four Medusa Heads, killing them for 700, 1000, 3000 and 5000 points as it hits them. Jump up once you have reached the edge of the platform, then continue walking to the right until you come to a seventh Medusa Head who is firing lasers from her eyes at you from her position on the platform in front of you - and this means that you will have to time a jump over her carefully to avoid getting hit by the lasers. Once you have done so, jump up once you have reached the edge of the platform as one Yari Mogle comes walking towards you; and once you have jumped on him to kill him, crouch down to collect three more Bonus Strawberries for 3000 extra points apiece. Once you have done so, you will come to this spring in the platform - and once you have walked onto it, it will compress and propel you up to a static chocolate eclair which has four Bonus Ice Creams and a Bonus Drink on it. Once you have collected all five of these bonus items for 2300 extra points, walk up to that treasure chest which is in front of you to open it; once you have done so, a Clone powerup will emerge from it. Once have collected this Clone powerup, you will have to jump onto another small platform before jumping onto another chocolate eclair that is moving back and forth in a fixed position - and once you have done so, you will have to use the movement of this eclair to jump onto a third small platform. Once you have done so, walk up to that treasure chest is in front of you to open it; once you have done so, a second Yari Mogle will emerge from it. Once you have jumped on him to kill him, you will land on a fourth small platform and come to an eighth Medusa Head who is firing lasers from her eyes at you from her position on the left side of the screen - use your clone whip to kill her, then jump onto a fifth small platform before jumping onto a sixth small platform. Once you have done so, you will have to jump onto a seventh small platform before dropping down onto a third static eclair which has another spring on it; once you have done so, the aforementioned spring will compress and propel you up to three more Bonus Ice Creams. Once you have collected all three of these Bonus Ice Creams for 500 extra points apiece, you will come to a landing on the next solid platform - and an Iceman will then come walking towards you as you come to a ninth Medusa Head who is firing lasers from her eyes at you from her position on the underside of a fourth static eclair and an Oguchi that is blowing you away from it from its position on the right side of the screen. You will have to jump on the Iceman to kill it, then use your clone whip to kill the Medusa Head before making a jump onto that Oguchi to kill it; once you have done so, you will come to a third spring in the platform. Once you have walked onto it, it will compress and propel you up to the aforementioned fourth static eclair - and you will then have to jump onto this eighth small platform before jumping onto a ninth small platform. Once you have done so, you will have to jump onto this tenth small platform before jumping onto an eleventh small platform; once you have done so, you will come to a Kamereon that is sticking its tongue out at you to reel you towards it. Once you have jumped on it to kill it, you will land on a twelfth small platform and must use it to jump up to the next solid platform - and once you have done so, you will come to three more Oni who are firing bolts of lightning down at you. Once you have jumped on each of them to kill them and make their clouds disappear, another Iceman will come walking towards you; once you have jumped on it to kill it, you will come to a fourth spring in that platform. Once you have walked onto this, it will compress and propel you up to the next solid platform - and you will then have to jump up once you have reached the edge of that platform as you come to two more logs (which, once again, will fall down as soon as you stand on them) with a bed of spikes beneath them, and this thirteenth small platform with a treasure chest on it just beyond them. Once you have walked onto both of the logs in turn, walk up to the treasure chest on the small platform to open it; once you have done so, a  Wing powerup will emerge from it. Once you have collected this Wing powerup, you will come to this tenth Medusa Head who is firing lasers from her eyes at you from her position on the underside of the platforms above you - use your clone whip to kill her, then jump up once you have reached the edge of the platform and continue walking to the left. You will then come to a spring with a missile on the end of it (which looks somewhat like a smiling version of the Bullet Bills from Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. series) and this eleventh Medusa Head who is firing lasers from her eyes at you from her position on the underside of the platforms above you; must turn back to the right and start pushing the spring in that direction, then release it once it is fully compressed. The spring will propel the missile towards the Medusa Head and kill her for 700 points as it hits her - and you will then have to drop down once you have reached the edge of the platform as you come to this twelfth Medusa Head who is firing lasers from her eyes at you from her position on the platform in front of you. Use your clone whip to kill her, then jump up as a third Iceman comes walking towards you; once you have landed on it to kill it, you will come to this thirteenth Medusa Head who is firing lasers at you from her position on the underside of the platform above you. Use your clone whip to kill her, then jump up as you come to this sixth Oni who is firing a lightning bolt down at you - and once you have landed on him to kill him and make his cloud disappear, jump up once you have reached the edge of the platform and crouch down to collect two more final Bonus Strawberries for 3000 extra points apiece. Once you have done so, you must drop down once you have reached the edge of the platform to land on one of four platforms on an enormous wheel which is rotating in an anticlockwise direction with another pool of orange water beneath it - and once the platform that you are standing on has reached the right side of the screen, one Green Pirawani will jump out of the water. Use your clone whip to kill it, then drop off the edge of the platform; once you have landed, a Maigo will come walking towards you. Use your clone whip to kill her (if she manages to latch onto you, however, you will have to wiggle the joystick back and forth to shake her off), then drop down once you have reached the edge of the platform and walk up to that treasure chest is in front of you to open it. Once you have done so, another Clone powerup will emerge from it - and once you have collected this second Clone powerup, you will come to nine Onidamas that are hovering up and down in a fixed position. Once you have bypassed them, you will come to this fourteenth Medusa Head who is firing lasers from her eyes at you from her position on the underside of the platform above you; use your clone whip to kill her, then jump up as a Jidousha comes driving towards you. Once you have landed on the Jidousha to kill it, jump up once you have reached the edge of the platform as you come to three more Kamereon that are sticking their tongues out at you to reel you towards them - and once you have jumped on each of them to kill them, you will come to a fifteenth Medusa Head who is firing lasers from her eyes at you from her position on the underside of the platform above you. Use your clone whip to kill her, then jump up once you have reached the edge of the platform as you come to a sixteenth Medusa Head who is firing lasers from her eyes at you from her position on the underside of the platform above you - use your clone whip to kill her, then walk onto a fifth spring in the platform to be propelled through an open gate which will close as soon as Prince Paco passes through it. Once you have done so, you will come to a seventeenth Medusa Head who is firing lasers from her eyes at you from her position on the right side of the screen; use your clone whip to kill her, then drop down off the edge of the platform as you come to five more Yari Mogles who are hiding in holes in the platform. Once you have jumped on each of them to kill them (not while they are making a stabbing motion with their spears, though), you will come to two more treasure chests - once you have walked up to the one on the right to open it, another Wing powerup will emerge from it, and once you have walked up to the one on the left to open it, another Pyon Mogle will emerge from it. Once you have collected this second Wing powerup and jumped on this second Pyon Mogle to kill him, walk back to the right and jump into a not-quite-so-enormous pirate ship that is swinging back and forth above you. You will then have to use the movement of this pirate ship to be propelled through another open gate which, once again, will close as soon as Prince Paco passes through it; once you have done so, you will come to this eighteenth Medusa Head who is firing lasers from her eyes at you from her position on the underside of the platform above you and a treasure chest in front of you. Use your clone whip to kill her, then walk up to that treasure chest is to open it - and once you have done so, a Bonus Hot Dog will emerge from it. Once you have collected this Bonus Hot Dog for 1000 extra points, drop off the edge of the platform and use your clone whip to kill four final Medusa Heads who are firing lasers from their eyes at you from their positions on the alternating left and right sides of the screen as you fall while trying to avoid landing on nine more beds of spikes. Once Prince Paco has landed, the double doors in front of him will open and he will walk through them for his third boss encounter in game - which will be very similar to the second, as you will find out in the paragraph below.

Once Prince Paco has reappeared inside the boss room, he will be standing on the left side of a big pit in the centre of the room (much like he was the last time he was in a boss room) and Princess A La Mode will be standing in front of him on the right side of that pit; she also has Sweetie, the Guardian Fairy of this world, imprisoned in the top-right corner of the room. Once Sweetie has called out to Prince Paco, Princess A La Mode will tell him that he must beat her at another Tug-Of-War minigame if he wishes to rescue her (in the same highpitched tone as the Bunny Girl, Florrie and Sylphie, rather than the low-pitched tone used by the Great Condor and the Demon Angle) - and once the camera has zoomed in on the characters, the aforementioned Bunny Girl will appear in the top-left corner of the screen to give an explanation on how to beat Princess A La Mode (which is identical to the one she gave on how to beat the aforementioned Demon Angle). Once she has finished giving her old explanation, she will move to the centre of the screen and fire a blank shot into the air with her hand-held pistol before disappearing; for a second time, both Prince Paco's and Princess A La Mode's pulling powers are denoted at the bottom of the screen in green and red respectively, and whoever possesses the stronger power would be the only one who can pull. Press the Jump Button repeatedly to force Princess A La Mode towards the pit, and when she starts to force you back towards the pit, push the joystick down to hinder her movement - but as with the Demon Angle, she will automatically overpower your button-mashing powers if the battle is drawn out for too long. Once Prince Paco has forced Princess A La Mode into the pit, the background will disappear behind him and the mirror in which Sweetie was imprisoned will explode; she will then fly down to Prince Paco's side and kiss him on the left cheek, making him blush for the third and final time in the game. She will then proceed to thank Prince Paco and present him with the Purple Trident Crystal (which is the treasure of this penultimate world) - and once she has done so, it will be displayed at the bottom of the screen next to both of the red one that Florrie gave Prince Paco when he rescued her at the end of the first world and the green one that Sylphie gave him when he rescued her at the end of the second world as you receive a "Special Bonus" of 10000 points. You will then proceed to the game's third and final bonus stage, which would also be the final stage of the game itself if you are playing the US version.
