Well, whaddya know, the intro actually has a purpose this time. Zoisait (I still do not even know where to begin pronouncing that) is back, this time terrorising even younger women, and most nefariously of all... Pudding Kitteh! That unspeakable monster has taken this poor, pudding-like cat, and transformed it into a rampaging beast! You dick, Zoisait! Leave the cats out of this!



And even worse, the now-evil cat's first target is... No! Not the arcade from Round 2!




Alright, cat, that's no way to win at the crane games. Time for you to get neutered.



Kitty won't be oppressed by humans any more! Kitty will cheat at crane games, scratch the furniture, and poop all over the lawn!


The sight of a perfectly innocent arcade being violated and torn asunder by this once peaceful kitteh offends me to the very core, but I'm going to note that this is Interesting Idea #2, and unlike the first one, I can't think of another scrolling beat-em-up where the idea's been used. Rather than fighting the boss at the end of the stage, you fight it throughout the stage, and when its health gets down to a certain level, it runs away and you have to catch up with it. Admittedly, the stage isn't terribly long, so the boss only runs away twice before you finish it off, but it's a pretty cool idea.

As for the as-of-yet unnamed mutant feline, it starts the round off as a bit of a push-over. Strangely, you can't grab it, but it's only got a basic slash attack to defend itself with. That said, it's a very powerful attack, and it'll take a huge chunk off your life bar. Jupiter makes short work of it, getting its healthbar down to 3/4 full, but...




Hey! Don't start what you can't finish, you gigantic pussy!




Back on the streets, we come to find that we're in awfully familiar territory. That's right, Round 7 is, in fact, a palette swap of Round 2, with extra interludes in the arcade and the grocery store, which is coming up next. Palette-swapped enemies I can understand, but a palette-swapped stage is a first for me. In fairness, though, Round 7 does take you inside a few buildings that you didn't get to visit the first time 'round, and it has such a different idea behind it that I'll let it get away with it. This time. Besides, it's relatively clever, as it's the same stage but at a different time in the day. So, for once, I'll be merciful...



... Yes, merciful, quite unlike Jupiter. The Horns have been raised, and the enemies all fall down.



The giant cat's next target is the grocery store, the fiend!




Kitty will not behave! Kitty likes doing bad things, like moving the tinned produce onto the shelf with all the breakfast cereals!



Hey, looks like it's time for clean-up in Aisle 7, there's a giant green asshole that needs mopping up.


The desperate struggle continues in the grocery store, and... It's exactly the same as the first encounter. Kitty-Cat only has the one slashing attack like he did in the arcade, although this time, the creepy marionettes appear from absolutely nowhere and decide to help the monstrosity out. Aside from that, we've been here before. No new moves, no new nothin'. Once Jupiter's wailed on him for a while, she gets the beast's health down to the halfway mark, and...




Damn. Isn't this a job for the guys who pick up stray cats?




And now, the final encounter!


Listen, cat, what's your problem? Did your owner forget to clean your litter box out or what?



Yes! She also kept me locked in the house, and fed me cat food! Kitty needs real meat!



Well, I could help you out there. Got a nice, juicy knuckle sandwich waitin' just for you. Get ready to tuck in, kitty.




For the final segment of this battle, the mutant kitty (apparently called Bakene) actually gains another attack- a rather vicious body slam that's got quite a lot of range, in addition to the slash attack it's always had. Furthermore, it'll receive back-up from all and sundry, including toga girls, marionettes and trolls. However, this battle isn't very long at all, seeing as you've whittled it down to half energy already. This doesn't make it that easy, though, as its slash attack is still pretty powerful. Eventually, though, the beast will succumb, and...




Pudding Kitty! You're back to normal, yaaaaay!



(You know what? I'm the best character in the game, and none of these losers know it.)



Did... Did Kitty give you much trouble, Ms. Jupiter?



... I've been chasing this stupid cat all around town. Take that thing to a vet, kid. Seriously. It's not normal.


... Finally, we're nearing the end. The next page... Is the final showdown.

Stay with me, folks. This next page covers the final round! We can finish this fight!
