* Olive will throw hearts that waft and float down to the water below. The hearts move in a somewhat unpredictable pattern, with some falling at a faster rate than others. Picking them up at a higher level earns Popeye more points. If a heart reaches the water below, you only have a few moments to run down a pick it up before it is lost forever, which results in the loss of one life. | * Olive will throw hearts that waft and float down to the water below.

* All the while, Brutus will try to catch Popeye. If he succeeds, you lose one life. If he is one ledge below you, he will try to grab your feet from below. If he is above you, he may try to swipe at your head, or he may even jump down to your level. If he occupies the opposite side of the ledge that you are standing on, he may opt to throw a series of bottles at you. | * All the while, Brutus will try to catch Popeye.

Popeye can grab it at any time, and it will not return until the round is cleared. While strong from the spinach, the point value for collecting hearts doubles. You can also punch Brutus into the water which clears the screen of Brutus for a short period of time. | ||

In order for Popeye to make use of these items, he must leap off from the top right ledge and press punch as he nears the punching bag. This will cause the bag to slide over and knock the bucket loose from it's position. If it hits Brutus in the head on its way down, Brutus will be momentarily stunned, allowing Popeye to whisk past him harmlessly until he gets the bucket off of his head. The lower Brutus is when the bucket hits him, the more bonus points Popeye will earn for the feat. | ||
* The | * The Sea Hag warps in to the stage on the side of the level that Popeye is currently occupying. She throws a bottle at Popeye which can be punched for points. If Popeye is hit by a bottle from the Sea Hag or Brutus, he loses a life. Over time, she will appear simultaneously on either side of the screen and throw a bottle from either end. At harder levels, the Sea Hag will also throw skulls at Popeye, so be careful not to get caught between them and Brutus or one of his bottles. | ||
