 After you pass Stage 3, the first three stages will repeat themselves, except  theyll feature the Sea Hag who drops skulls at you. When you keep returning  to the same setting, shell add on an additional skull, but on the ship,  Bernard will swoop down real fast on you, and as you go along, Brutus will  become more aggressive and (if hes under Popeye) hell punch the ground  Popeye is standing on, sending him into the water, or if Popeye is benieth  Brutus, Brutus reaches down and pushes Popeye into the water.
