Splatterhouse/Stage III

Once Rick has reappeared, start walking to the right and punch the Red Zombie that is walking towards you to kill it before crouching down in order to pick up the Shotgun. Once you have done so, a Zombie Dog will appear from the right side of the screen to devour the remains of the Red Zombie; 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 have killed it, two Green Zombies and another Red Zombie 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 if you want to save your ammunition. Once you have killed them all, another Zombie Dog will appear from the right side of the screen to devour its remains; once 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 have killed it, a Mutant Slug will then come slithering towards you; 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 moving left and right across the wooden planks; if Rick is unfortunate enough to land on one of these spotlights, a Monstrous Hand will smash through the bridge and drag him down into the water below, forcing him to relinquish the Shotgun and play an extra secction of the stage (which is similar to the second secction 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 the Bird that is flying towards you and pick up the Rock before standing up again and throwing the Rock at the Bird once it has passed over you to kill it. Once you have done so, you should crouch down in order to pick up the Shotgun again before you jump over a spike pit and continue to the right before coming to a Hanging Corpse dangling from a tree; you can either blast it to pieces with a shot or just crouch down and kick it to save your ammunition. Once you have killed it, two more Birds will come flying towards you; you can either blast them both to pieces with a single shot or just crouch down to avoid getting hit by them and save your ammunition. Once you have jumped over another spike pit, you will come to another Hanging Corpse dangling from a tree; once again, you can either blast it to pieces with a shot or just crouch down and kick it to save your ammunition. Once you have killed it, two more Green Zombies will 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, continue to the right until you come to another Shotgun; you will notice that when you push the joystick down to make Rick pick it up, he will drop the first one slightly ahead of him (if he still has it) which allows him to pick it back up again. After you have repeated this process four more times, you will meet up with Biggy Man; 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 will still have to punch or kick him a few 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 a very good player. Once you have killed him, Rick will proceed to the fourth stage through the door on the right side of the screen.
