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. | |||
==== 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. | |||

This round may remind you a bit of the first stage, but the town looks deserted and falling apart. Enemies will pour on to the screen from every direction, so you'll simply have to keep your guard up. The first three barrels that you encounter on the left contain a different power-up. You'll have to watch out for the array of Snipers that appear in the windows to shoot at you. Bombers will frequently appear along the top. Many of the barrels contain 1000 point items. Eventually a lone barrel will contain a skull. However, the next barrel after that will have a 10,000 bonus point dragonfly, and the barrel after that will contain a horse. Many Back-stabbers will jump off the roofs of the buildings on either side of you until buildings only appear on the right, complete with the requisite Snipers. When you see a lone barrel off to the left, the barrel just before that on the right contains a 10,000 bonus point star. That lone barrel on the left actually contains a second horse in case you missed or lost the first one. The next barrel on the right is empty, but the one above it contains an extra life-granting Yashichi. Focus on dodging all of the bullets that fly across the screen. The second to last barrel (which appears around the time the boss music starts to play) has a skull, but the last barrel above it has a POW symbol. The screen will stop scrolling a short distance after the last building disappears. | |||
==== Boss: Fat Man ==== | ==== Boss: Fat Man ==== | ||
Health: 4 bars. Fat Man is considerably harder than Los Pubro. Like Los Pubro, he doesn't jump around and he fires his weapon constantly, but Fat Man's machine gun is much more lethal, and has a better chance of hitting you. The bullets are fast and constant. You're much safer attacking him from the side, and somewhat further up the screen than in front of him. Of course, this leaves you vulnerable to attack from enemies standing behind you, but it's a chance you're going to have to take, as even completely powered up, you stand little chance against Fat Man from the front. | |||

This round will probably remind you of the third stage, with the river that cuts through the screen, and the bridges that span it. The first set of barrels contain power-ups, but it may be a bit difficult to get all three. The next set of barrels contain a skull and some bonus point items. A third set of barrels appear next, with nothing in the barrels on the right bank, but a 10,000 bonus point dragonfly in the left barrel. Be careful of the Gunmen that show up on the left side with little room to maneuver. A horse will appear from the barrel that sits alone on the far right of the screen. The next three barrels, arranged below and above the bridge that you must use if you are still on the right, contain power-ups. Another two barrels appear below and above a short bridge, the lower of which has a 1000 bonus point bag, but the higher one contains a POW symbol. Remember to stay low as you continue your way along the river. The barrels that you encounter leading up to the vertical bridge crossing don't contain much of interest, except for a bullet power-up found in a lone barrel along the left bank. The boss music will start to play as you begin to cross the vertical bridge. 1000 bonus point items are in the barrel along the right side of the bridge. Along the left side, the first barrel is a skull, but the second barrel is a 20,000 bonus point cow. A crowd of Bombers greet you on the opposite side of the bridge. The three barrels on the left contain two power-ups and a skull. At this time, you will see a small stream with three bridges going across. The first of the Wingates will arrive. | |||
==== Boss: Wingate Family ==== | ==== Boss: Wingate Family ==== | ||
Health: 4 bars. The young two Wingate siblings will appear on the right and left bridges of the screen. They will flank you on either side with rifles. They actually have no health bars, so shooting them will not reduce the boss health meter at the top of the screen. Whether or not to shoot them is a decision you have to make. Removing them from the screen does not necessarily make the boss any easier, because they will be replaced with more regular enemies. In other words, leaving them on the screen can cut down on how many other enemies appear. Eventually, the eldest Wingate will appear at the top of the screen, looking much larger and wielding a much more menacing machine gun. His gun fires bullets which fan out at a wide angle. They also move quite fast, making it difficult to determine a safe place to stand in order to avoid them. Your best bet is to remain as low as possible, while still being able to shoot at the lead Wingate. Of course, you may find it easier to shoot him from the side, but that will necessitate removing at least one of the younger brothers first. Once you hit the eldest brother, he will drop to the floor and crawl around while he shoots at you, during which he is invulnerable from getting shot. Back off and wait for him to stand before knocking him down again. If you knock him down four times, victory will be yours and you will be treated to the end of the game. Congratulations. | |||
