This stage sees Billy walking primarily through an open field with a dirt trail blazed through it.  You'll find one of each power-up in the first four barrels while Gunmen and Riflemen appear to stop you.  The openness of the field may tempt you to charge forward, but stay behind to prevent enemies from getting behind you and shooting you in the back.  A bull corral will appear on the left.  Inside the four barrels in front are three 1000 bonus point items and a skull.  The bulls in the corral can be shot, but they can't harm you, as they are contained by the fences.  The barrel that appear above the very top of the corral contains a horse.  One of each power-up can be found in the three barrels along the bank of the pond on the right.  Above the pond, three bulls will be standing around, waiting to trample you if you shoot at them.  Gunmen will continue to appear through an empty stretch.  When you begin to see single barrels positioned in front of roots, the first and last barrel have skulls, but the middle one contains a POW symbol.  The three barrels at the bank of the next pond each contain a different power-up, but watch out for the Bombers in the area, littering the ground with dynamite.  As you pass the pond, you will see three barrels on the left.  The middle one contains a 10,000 bonus point star.  Then the screen will stop scrolling when you appear to reach a fort entrance.

Also, be warned that gray riflemen for the boss fight might spawn early, before the screen stops scrolling, and as such they will be much lower to the bottom of the screen than they should be.
==== Boss: Los Pubro ====
==== Boss: Los Pubro ====
Health: 6 bars.  For being the eighth round boss, Los Pubro is oddly easy to defeat.  He walks around, never jumping or rolling around, so he is always vulnerable to attack.  He has 6 bars of health, but it doesn't take many shots to remove each one.  He fires a pair of pistols at a fairly regular rate, but nothing so bad that you can't avoid it and shoot at him from the side.  There are two barrels at the top of the screen.  The right barrel only has a 1000 point bonus item, but the left one contains a POW symbol.  Don't be in such a rush to collect it, as you may put yourself in a worse position having to come back down in order to continue fighting.  Only grab it if it is advantageous to do so.  Los Pubro should go down fairly quickly.
Health: 6 bars.  For being the eighth round boss, Los Pubro is oddly easy to defeat if you go on the offensive.  He walks around, never jumping or rolling around, and he has very little invincibility time after taking a hit.  He has 6 bars of health, but a constant stream of fire can take away several life bars quickly.  He fires a pair of pistols at a fairly regular rate, but nothing so bad that you can't avoid it and shoot at him from the side.  There are two barrels at the top of the screen.  The right barrel only has a 1000 point bonus item, but the left one contains a POW symbol.  Don't be in such a rush to collect it, as you may put yourself in a worse position having to come back down in order to continue fighting.  Only grab it if it is advantageous to do so.  Los Pubro should go down fairly quickly.
