Splatterhouse/Stage III

Once Rick has reappeared, start walking to the right as a Red Deadman comes walking towards you; once you've punched him to kill him, you will have to crouch down in order to pick up the Shotgun. An Evil Dog will then come running into view from the right side of the screen and eat the remains of the Red Deadman - and you must crouch down and give it a kick to make it back up and do a flying jump at you so you can give it another kick to kill it once it has landed. Two Green Deadmen and another Red Deadman will then come walking towards you; you can either blast them all to pieces with a single shot or just crouch down and kick them (twice, twice, and once respectively) to kill them, if you want to save your ammunition. Another Evil Dog will then come running into view from that right side of the screen to devour their remains; again, you must crouch down and give it a kick to make it back up and do a flying jump at you, so you can give it another kick to kill it once it has landed. Once you've killed this one, a Nobu will come slithering towards you - and you must crouch down and kick it twice to kill it before it has a chance to spit its projectile vomit at you. Once you have killed it, continue to the right over the bridge while watching out for the blue spotlights (known as "Warp Mouths") moving left and right across it; if Rick is unfortunate enough to land on one of them, a Monstrous Hand will smash up through the bridge and drag him down into the water below, forcing him to relinquish the Shotgun and play an extra section of the stage, which is similar to the second section of the second stage. Once you have made it to the end of the bridge, you must crouch down in order to avoid getting hit by a Gokurachou that is flying towards you and pick up the Rock, before standing up again, turning back to the left, and throwing the Rock at the Gokurachou once it has passed over you to kill it; you should then crouch down in order to pick up that Shotgun again before jumping over a spike pit and coming up to a Hanging Dead that is dangling from a tree. You can either blast it to pieces with a shot or just crouch down and kick it (twice) to kill it, and save your ammunition - and once you have killed it, two more Gokurachou will come flying towards you. Again, you can either blast them both to pieces with a single shot, or crouch down to avoid getting hit by them and save your ammunition; once you've jumped over another spike pit you will come up to another Hanging Dead dangling from a tree. Once again, you can either blast it to pieces with a shot or just crouch down and kick it (twice) to kill it, to save your ammunition - and two more Green Deadmen will then come walking towards you. For a final time, you can either blast them both to pieces with a single shot or just crouch down and kick them to save your ammunition; once you have killed them you will come to a second Shotgun. You will notice that when you push the joystick down to make Rick pick it up, he will drop the first one in front of him (if he still has it), which allows him to pick it back up again - and after you have repeated this process four more times, you will meet up with Biggy Man (the song you were hearing from the Yamaha YM-2151 will also change for this fight). He will attack Rick with his dual chainsaws, and takes ten shotgun blasts to kill; this means that if you were unfortunate enough to get grabbed by a Monstrous Hand on the bridge, you'll still have to punch or kick him four more times to defeat him after you have used all eight of the second Shotgun's blasts up. It is also possible to defeat him just by using punches and kicks if you are an expert player - and once you have killed him, Rick will proceed onto the fourth stage by walking through that doorway on the right side of the screen.
