POP2 Level 3.png

Once Popeye has reappeared on the screen, you shall have to walk to the right (while watching out for a falling coconut), climb up a ladder to a platform, jump to the left over a static coconut (while watching out for another falling one), and defuse a bomb; once you have done so, you shall have to climb up another ladder to a tree branch and walk to the left to collect a can of spinach. You shall then have to jump back to the right onto another platform (while watching out for a third falling coconut), climb up a third ladder to a third platform and jump up to the right onto a fourth platform to defuse another bomb - and once you have done so you shall have to drop back down to the left onto the third platform, jump to the left onto another tree branch and defuse a third bomb. You shall then have to climb up a fourth ladder to a third tree branch, and walk to the right to defuse a fourth bomb; once you have done so, you will have to walk back to the left and continue climbing up the fourth ladder to a fourth tree branch (while watching out for three rolling barrels and a coconut-dropping monkey), walk to the right and defuse a fifth bomb. You shall now have to drop down to the right onto a fifth tree branch and defuse a sixth bomb - and once you have done this, you shall have to climb up a fifth ladder to a sixth tree branch, walk to the right, and defuse a seventh bomb. You shall now have to jump back to the left over another static coconut and defuse an eighth bomb; once you have done so, you will have to drop back down to the left (to a seventh tree branch), jump to the left to an eighth one, climb up a sixth ladder to a ninth one, jump up to the right onto a tenth one, climb up a seventh ladder to an eleventh one and walk to the right to defuse a ninth bomb. You will now have to walk back to the left, continue climbing up the seventh ladder to a twelfth tree branch while watching out for a fourth rolling barrel, and walk to the right to defuse a tenth bomb; once you have done so you will have to jump to the left over a falling barrel onto a thirteenth tree branch and defuse an eleventh bomb. You will then have to climb up an eighth ladder to a fourteenth tree branch as a Goon emerges from a pair of barrels and a second can of spinach bounces up from the bottom of the screen - and once Popeye has collected it you shall have to make him punch the Goon repeatedly (again, if Popeye runs out of spinach power, a third can shall bounce up from the bottom of the screen for him to collect). Once Popeye has punched the Goon enough times to defeat him, he will recede back into the barrels, and the function of Space (or the button on the joystick) will revert back to jumping until the penultimate encounter with Brutus.

You'll then have to jump down to the right onto a fifteenth tree branch, climb up a ninth ladder to a sixteenth one (while watching out for another coconut-dropping monkey), and walk to the right, to collect a minimum third can of spinach; once you've done so, you shall have to walk back to the left, continue climbing up the ninth ladder to a seventeenth tree branch and walk to the right to defuse a twelfth bomb. You will then have to jump to the left onto a fifth platform and an eighteenth tree branch in turn (while watching out for a second falling barrel), climb up a tenth ladder onto a nineteenth tree branch, and defuse a thirteenth bomb - and once you have done so you shall have to jump to the right onto a sixth platform and a twentieth tree branch in turn (while watching for a third falling barrel), climb up an eleventh ladder to a twenty-first tree branch, jump to the left onto a seventh platform and a twenty-second tree branch in turn while watching out for a fourth falling barrel, climb up a twelfth ladder onto a twenty-third tree branch, and walk to the left to defuse a fourteenth bomb as a minimum fourth can of spinach bounces up from the bottom of the screen - and once Popeye has collected this can, you will have to walk to the right to defuse a fifteenth bomb, jump to the right onto a twenty-fourth tree branch and punch Brutus repeatedly (once again, if Brutus hits Popeye with his club, or he runs out of spinach power, another can of spinach will bounce up from the screen's bottom for him to collect). Once Popeye has punched Brutus enough times to defeat him for a third time he will fall off the bottom of the screen once again; Popeye will then walk up to Olive as a third heart appears between them and the remaining value on the bonus timer (which, once again, starts at 400) is added to your score, unless it has run out. Popeye will now proceed to Level 4 (Amiga version password: DUCKULA) - which is the last level of the game, but is no harder than all others.
