** [[FinalBoss Gordon's sons, Rocky and Rocco.]] By far the hardest obstacle to seeing the ending. You know, unless you have a whip. These two fellows are roughly the size of the Stage 3 boss, and their range is just as long. They're so tall, they can grab Billy and hold him up in the air while the other one pummels him if he [[ButtonMashing doesn't break free.]] And that's not even the worst part... The worst part is: '''if you have ANY items with you (Even BODY ARMOR, which doesn't even help you at all), they will have ''twice as much health as they normally do!'''''

* CommonKnowledge: Billy may be a ''very'' obvious CaptainErsatz of Film/CrocodileDundee, but he's not Australian himself; he's actually from New Orleans, presumably to make character different enough that the film's producers wouldn't try suing Konami.
