Bonus Stage #1

This first bonus round will start as soon as you defeat Katana in the Riverside round. Several barrels will start rolling onto the screen from the left to right. Sometimes they'll roll across, sometimes they'll bounce.



The aim is to destroy as many as possible, which you can do by attacking them. If they hit you, they'll knock you down. Once the bonus stage ends, you'll get a bonus depending on how many barrels you destroyed. You can get extra EXP, an extra life, or even an extra continue. If you manage to destroy every single barrel, you'll be rewarded with two extra lives.



Bonus Stage #2

The second bonus stage will begin after you've defeated Katana in the factory round. It's the same deal as before -destroy the barrels.



The only difference is sometimes the barrels will drop down from above. Again, the bonus you'll received once the stage ends depends on how many barrels you've destroyed.
