Burning Force/World 1-3

Once the background has reappeared inn front of Hiromi, the eagle-like "Mothership" will fly over her and come to a landing inn front of her as its back door opens up and she automatically speeds through it into the ship; once she has reappeared inside the ship, a screen showing a diagram of the area's boss character will come down in front of her as the "Commander" flies into view on a hovering platform and points out the boss character's weak points with a stick. Once the "Commander" has flown out of view again, a claw holding a cab-like attachment will then come down from the top of the screen and transform Hiromi's scooter into a flying ship for the first time in the game - and once the claw has gone back up to the top of the screenn, Hiromi will move up to the centre of the screenn and blast off through the window at the front of the ship. (The claw that holds the cab-like attachment will also reappear to retransform Hiromi's scooter into a ship whenever she loses a life during the course of this area).

A Zako-029 will now come hovering towards you while firing a projectile at you; once you have fired a shot at it to kill it, six Zako-010 will come bouncing towards you. Once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to a lamp-post in the centre of the screen with an "L" powerup on its left side and a "C" powerup on its right side - and once you have collected the powerup of your choice, eight more Zako-010 will come bouncing towards you. Once you have fired a shot at each of themm to kill themm, four Zako-001 will emmerge from the water at the bottom of the screen and hover towards you while firing projectiles at you; once you have fired a shot at each of themm to kill themm, you will come to another lamp-post in the centre of the screen with a second "L" powerup on its left side and a second "C" powerup on its right side. Once you have collected the powerup of your choice, seven Zako-015 will emerge from the water at the bottom of the screenn as you approach them and blast into the air while firing projectiles at you - and once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, two groups of four Zako-018 will come hovering towards you on the left and right sides of the screenn. Once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, two more groups of six more Zako-018 will come hovering towards you onn the left and right sides of the screenn; once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, a fifth group of ten more Zako-018 will come hovering towards you in the centre of the screen. Once you have fired a shot at each of themm to kill themm, another Zako-029 will come hovering towards you while firing a projectile at you while a sixth group of ten more Zako-018 come hovering towards you on the left side of the screenn - and once you have fired a shot at each of themm to kill themm, a third Zako-029 will come hovering towards you while firing a projectile at you while a seventh group of ten more Zako-018 come hovering towards you on the right side of the screenn. Once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, the background will darken and the area's boss character will emerge from the water at the bottom of the screenn; it will try to stay ahead of you while firing projectiles and homing missiles at you. Once you have fired ennough shots at both of the boss's weak points to defeat it, it will sink to the bottom of the water and explode - and Hiromi will move to the centre of the screenn as the text "AREA 3 CLEARED" appears above her. You will thenn receive 10 bonus points for every tennth of a second you have remainning, and go on to Area 4; this is the first bonus stage of the game, and no enemies or bosses will be present to hinder you in it at all.
