The Adventures of Bayou Billy/Stage 4

This is the first of two driving stages, which occur back to back. During this stage, you must drive as fast as you can to travel a certain distance before the clock runs out. You are trying to catch up to the vehicle that Annabelle is being transported in. Along the way, several obstacles will try to slow you down or stop you.

Common to both versions of the game is the fact that as you drive down the road, you will encounter several other vehicles on the road that can be shot, or must be avoided. A plane will approach you from off in the distance and attempt to drop a bomb on you unless you are able to destroy it first by throwing an explosive at it. Trees or posts on the side of the road must be avoided, as must the boulders that appear in the middle of the road.

Besides these similarities, the two versions of the game have a number of differences, as described in the table below:

Due to the increased difficulty of the American version, it is much harder to make it through this stage without losing a life. The following tips will increase your chances of surviving.
 * If your vehicle is being thrown to the outside lane of a turn, release and let your car slow down.  Press  if necessary and reposition your vehicle on the road before continuing.
 * The boulders are perhaps the most difficult obstacle to avoid, since they come toward the vehicle rather fast. Knowing where they are in the road, as well as when they are likely to appear, will help you avoid them.  When they are off in the distance, they may appear to be on the left side of the road, but that will quickly change as they come more into view.
 * Shoot as many vehicles as you can in order to avoid the chance that you might collide with them. Be mindful of the limitation that you may only have one weapon on the screen at one time.  If you lob a grenade at a plane, be aware that you will be unable to shoot other vehicles momentarily.
