Splatterhouse/Stage V

Once Rick has reappeared, start walking to the right and crouch down in order to pick up the Stick. Once you have done so, five Possessed Chairs will come bouncing towards you; you can either smash them to pieces or crouch down and kick them five times each to kill them, but the second option should only be attempted if you are very good. Once you have killed them all, Rick will drop the Stick and proceed to the second section of the stage through the door on the right side of the screen.

Rick will begin the second section of the stage on the left side of a pit with two Disembodied Hands crawling back and forth in it; they cannot be killed, and will injure him if he is unfortunate enough to land on them. Once you have jumped over it to land on a wooden platform slanting upwards, you must jump over another pit with two more Disembodied Hands crawling back and forth in it to land on another wooden platform slanting downwards before jumping over a third pit with two more Disembodied Hands crawling back and forth in it and a seventh jumping into the air from the bottom of it to land on a third (non-slanting) wooden platform. Once you have turned back to the left and punched the jumping Disembodied Hand to kill it, a Big Headed Zombie will come walking towards you; punch it twice to destroy its body, then punch its head while it is flying towards you to kill it before continuing to the right and coming to a fourth pit with two more Disembodied Hands crawling back and forth in it and a tenth jumping into the air from the bottom of it. Once you have punched the jumping Disembodied Hand to kill it, you must jump over this fourth pit to land on a fourth wooden platform slanting upwards before jumping over a fifth pit with two more Disembodied Hands crawling back and forth in it to land on a fifth wooden platform slanting downwards, a sixth pit with two more Disembodied Hands crawling back and forth in it and a fifteenth jumping into the air from the bottom of it to land on a sixth wooden platform slanting upwards and a seventh pit with two more Disembodied Hands crawling back and forth in it and an eighteenth jumping into the air from the bottom of it to land on a seventh (non-slanting) wooden platform. Once you have turned back to the left again and punched the jumping Disembodied Hand to kill it, two more Big Headed Zombies will come walking towards you; punch them twice to destroy their bodies, then punch their heads while they are flying towards you to kill them before continuing to the right and coming to an eighth pit with two more Disembodied Hands crawling back and forth in it and a twenty-first jumping into the air from the bottom of it. Once you have punched the jumping Disembodied Hand to kill it, you must jump over this eighth pit to land on an eighth wooden platform slanting upwards before jumping over a ninth pit with two more Disembodied Hands crawling back and forth in it to land on a ninth wooden platform slanting downwards, a tenth pit with a twenty-fourth Disembodied Hand crawling back and forth in it and a twenty-fifth jumping into the air from the bottom of it to land on a tenth wooden platform slanting upwards, an eleventh pit with two more Disembodied Hands crawling back and forth in it to land on an eleventh wooden platform slanting downwards and a twelfth pit with two more Disembodied Hands crawling back and forth in it and a thirtieth jumping into the air from the bottom of it to land on a twelfth (non-slanting) wooden platform. Once you have turned back to the left for a third time and punched the jumping Disembodied Hand to kill it, you can either drop down the ladder leading to the third section of the stage or jump over it in order to climb up the other ladder and play an extra secction of the stage.

The extra section of the stage is a picture gallery, and you will notice that the Picture Faces will rip themselves off their canvases as Rick walks past them; they attack by flying after you, and take one hit to kill. A Spirit will also appear at the end of the room to try and drop a skull on Rick's head; once you have jumped up and kicked her to kill her, you must drop down the ladder leading to the third secction of the stage (if you did not drop down either of the two holes in the room's floor already).

The third section of the stage is similar to the second section of the second stage and the extra section of the third stage - so once Rick has landed in the water, jump over the Spiked Ball that is floating towards you from the right side of the screen. Once you have done so, a Sludge Monster will emerge from the water on the right side of the screen - and once you have jump-kicked it in the face to kill it, two more Spiked Balls will float towards you from both sides of the screen. Once you have jumped over both of them, two more Sludge Monsters will emerge from the water on both sides of the screen - and once you have jump-kicked them in the face to kill them, a fourth Spiked Ball will float towards you from the right side of the screen. Once you have jumped over it, a fourth Sludge Monster will emerge from the water on the left side of the screen. Once you have jump-kicked it in the face to kill it, Rick will jump out of the water and drop down the ladder to the fourth section of the stage.

Once Rick has landed in the fourth section of the stage, start walking to the right and punch the Necromancer's Zombie that is walking towards you twice to kill it. Once you have done so, the Necromancer himself will appear; jump up and kick him to send him flying over to the left side of the screen before punching two more of his zombies that are walking towards you twice to kill them. Once you have done so, the Necromancer will attempt to resurrect his zombies with an ancient Japanese chant; you must jump up and kick him again to send him flying over to the other side of the screen before he manages to do so. Once you have jumped up and kicked the Necromancer six times, a fourth zombie will come walking towards you from the right side of the screen; you must quickly punch it twice to kill it before jumping up and kicking the Necromancer for a seventh time. Once you have done so, a fifth zombie will come walking towards you from the left side of the screen; once again, you must quickly punch it twice to kill it before jumping up and kicking the Necromancer for an eighth time. Once you have jumped up and kicked him two more times, he will disintegrate and you can either drop down the ladder or jump over it in order to climb up the other ladder; both of them lead to different fifth sections of the stage.

If you chose to drop down the first ladder, you will end up in the basement of the mansion - so start walking to the right and punch the Red Zombie that is walking towards you to kill it; once you have done so, a Zombie Dog will appear from the left side of the screen to devour the remains of the Red Zombie. A Spirit will also appear at the top of the screen to try and drop a skull on Rick's head; once you have jumped up and kicked her to kill her, two more Red Zombies will come walking towards you. Once you have punched them to kill them, another Zombie Dog will appear from the right side of the screen to devour their remains; 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 done so, another Spirit will appear at the top of the screen to try and drop a skull on Rick's head; once you have jumped up and kicked her to kill her, Rick will climb up the ladder to the boss room. However, if you chose to climb up the second ladder, you will end up in a room filled with piles of rotting meat and Bore Worms (similar to the extra section of the fourth stage) - they will crawl up the meat piles and hurl themselves across the room at Rick before he can proceed to the boss room through the door at the end.

The boss room begins with a Big Headed Zombie herding four Green Zombies away from a sofa, upon which Rick's girlfriend Jennifer is lying; once she has woken up, she will greet Rick in Japanese before transforming into her mutant form - which must be fought as a boss. When she leaps towards you, you must punch her away and walk all the way to the other side of the room so that her extra-long claws cannot reach you; once you have hit her six times, she will revert to her human form and beg Rick not to kill her in Japanese before transforming back into her mutant form. This time, she will do slightly shorter leaps towards you; once again, you must punch her away and walk all the way to the other side of the room so that her extra-long claws cannot reach you. Once you have hit her six more times, she will revert to her human form and beg Rick not to kill her in Japanese for a second time before transforming back into her mutant form for a third time. This time, she will do considerably shorter leaps towards you; yet again, you must punch her away and walk all the way to the other side of the room so that her extra-long claws cannot reach you. Once you have hit her six final times, she will bid farewell to Rick in Japanese and disintegrate in a manner similar to that of the Necromancer. The Big Headed Zombie will then reappear on the right side of the screen and point to the abyss in the floor leading to the sixth stage, which Rick will promptly drop down.
