It takes a little more strategy to kill the Berobero when you have been warped to the Maze World, for timing the Monster Fighter's bombs correctly is essential while in it; you should try to walk in the same direction as a Berobero (only one row or column closer to the centre of the screen). Once you have gotten ahead of the Berobero, you should start laying bombs in advance of his arrival - and if you think that a Berobero will take longer to get into the radius of an exploding bomb you can hold the Firing Button down to increase the time delay on the bomb (you will also notice that the bomb changes colour from blue to yellow to red as the time increases). Each time you kill a Berobero in this world, your bombs will become stronger; this will obviously make it easier for you to kill the remaining Berobero but it will also make it easier for the Monster Fighter to blow himself up. Even if you clear a round in this world, the Monster Fighter will still start the next one back in the Space World - and as in Namco's own Galaxian, each of the game's rounds will be represented by a small flag in the screen's bottom-right corner (but every time you clear ten rounds, nine of the smaller flags shall get superseded by a bigger flag with the number 10 on it, and once you have cleared the forty-eighth round the flags will stop updating).
