Fantasy Zone II: The Tears of Opa-Opa/Round 3 Hiyarika

Hiyarika is the token cold stage of the game. It is also the first to introduce five sections instead of just three, meaning there are 25 bases to destroy on this stage. This becomes the norm throughout the rest of the game. The standard shop of the game doesn't offer too much in the way of upgrades besides the Jet Engine. You may wish to save your money, however. This round hides not one, but two secrets, and one of them is a shop that can help boost Opa Opa's power tremendously. But first you'll need to find it.

Base
The bases in Hiyarika are called Kachikoron. As expected, they are stronger than bases from the previous stage, but not by much. It takes nine normal sized bombs to clear them away, or five big bombs. You will find them scattered around the stage at various heights. The two extra sections means more bases to destroy, but it also means more $500 bills to collect. Don't let any slip through your fingers.

Boss
The boss of the third stage is called Iceburn. He is a giant block of ice that moves around the screen in diagonal directions only. Whenever he reaches one edge of the screen, he bounces off of it and continues his diagonal trip around the screen. He occasionally fires off a chunk of ice at you, so it's important to keep moving, not only to avoid the ice, but to avoid Iceburn himself. There's not a lot of strategy in this fight. Simply stay far away from him while you shoot at him as quickly as possible, and reposition yourself when he crosses over from one half of the screen to the other. As you shoot him, the surface of the ice gets progressively cracked until he ultimately shatters. From the ice pours coins and a few dollar bills that you should claim as quickly as possible.
