Mickey Mousecapade/The Woods

Objective
The third level is a trip not just through the woods, but through the very seasons themselves. Mickey and Minnie's goal is to travel through Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter in order to reach the garden where the boss can be fought. In order to progress through the season, you must pass through the entrances of the correct trees. In some cases, the correct entrance is hidden.

Spring

 * The first door that you come to will just take you right back to the start of Spring, while the second door you reach will move you on to Summer.

Summer

 * Watch out for the larger enemies which toss objects at you while you try to make your way through the level. Invincibility fairies can be found by shoot at certain trees.
 * The first door will bring you back to Spring, while the second door, like in Spring, will advance you to the next season Autumn.

Autumn

 * Both doors that you can see will take you backwards, the first door to Summer, and the second door all the way back to Spring.
 * In order to advance, you must find the secret entrance that will take you to Winter. This door can be found after the second longer pit.  Shoot the base of the tree that's just off the trail to make the door to Winter appear.

Winter

 * Like Autumn, the doors that are visible to you will take you backwards. If that weren't enough, the hidden door that can be found between the two visible doors will also take you back.
 * This time, in order to advance to the next level, you must complete one full lap of Winter. Immediately after passing the Start sign, you can then shoot a tree that you could not shoot the first time around.  A door will appear which will lead you to the last segment of the level.

Garden

 * You've made it out of the woods and into the Garden. Here, pits will open up in front of you like chasms, which you must jump over.
 * Shoot some of the lower flowers in the background to make items appear like fairies and health refills. Keep your health up before the boss.

Boss
The boss of the woods extends from the bottom of the screen and writhes back and forth while firing rings at you which grow as they travel forward. In order to defeat the boss, you'll have to jump up as you fire because only the head of the boss is vulnerable to attacks. Do your best to dodge the rings, get as close as you dare so as not to touch the boss, and fire at the head as rapidly as possible to defeat it quickly.
