Once the background has reappeared in front of Hiromi, the eagle-like "Mothership" will fly over her and come to a landing in 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 then points out the boss character's weak points with a stick, while the three-script text Bosu teki wīkupointo koko wo nerau (ボス敵ウィークポイントここを狙う) appears on the diagram. Once the "Commander" has flown out of view again, a claw holding a cab-like attachment will come down from the top of the screen, then transform Hiromi's scooter into a flying ship, for the fifth time in the game - and once the claw has gone back up to the top of the screen, Hiromi will move on up to the centre of the screen, 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 if she should ever lose a life during the course of this area; however, if it was her last life, it will not and she will just fall off the bottom of the screen).

Two Zako-005 will now come hovering towards you while firing projectiles at you, as you come to eight ice blocks on the alternating left and right sides of the screen; once you have fired a single shot at both of the Zako-005 to kill them and enough shots at each of the ice blocks to destroy them, two groups of ten Zako-022 will hover into view ,on the left and right sides of the screen. Once you fire a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to four more ice blocks in the centre of the screen - and once you have fired enough shots at each of them to destroy them, seven more Zako-005 will come hovering towards you, while firing projectiles at you. Once you've fired a shot at each of these, to kill them, you will come to five more ice blocks on the alternating left and right sides of the screen, as two more Zako-005 come hovering towards you while firing projectiles at you; once you fire enough shots at each of the ice blocks to destroy them and a single shot at both of the Zako-005 to kill them, you'll come to two more ice blocks in the centre of the screen. Once you have fired enough shots at both of the ice blocks to destroy them four Zako-008 will roll away from you on the left and right sides of the screen - and once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, seven Zako-027 will come flying down towards you while firing projectiles at you. Once you have fired a shot at each of these, to kill them, two groups of five Zako-044 will hover into view, on the right and left sides of the screen; once you have fired a shot at each of these to kill them, ten Zako-034 will blast off into the air as you approach them (in the centre of the screen). Once you have fired enough shots at each of them, to kill them, eight more Zako-027 will come flying down towards you while firing projectiles at you as you come to seven more ice blocks, on the left and right sides of the screen - and once you have fired a single shot at each of the Zako-027 to kill them and enough shots at each of the ice blocks to destroy them, seven more Zako-034 will blast off into the air as you approach them in the centre of the screen. Once you have fired off enough shots at each of them to kill them, you will come to eighteen more ice blocks upon the left and right sides of the screen as three more Zako-027 come flying down towards you while firing projectiles at you; once you've fired off enough shots at each of these ice blocks to destroy them and a single shot at each of the Zako-027 to kill them, six more Zako-005 will come hovering towards you while firing projectiles at you. Once you fire a shot at each of them to kill them the background will darken as the area's boss character appears up in front of you and tries to stay ahead of you while it's firing ten projectiles at you from its glowing spikes - and once you've fired enough shots at both of its floodlight-style eyes to defeat it, its handlebar-like nose will spin around a few times, and its whole body will explode. Hiromi will then move to the centre of the screen, as the text of "AREA 3 CLEARED" appears above her; you'll then receive 10 bonus points for every tenth of a second you have remaining, and go on to Area 4 (the penultimate one of this game).
