Week 3 — Pico
Week 3 features a tense confrontation with Pico, the iconic Newgrounds character. Set in a dark Philadelphia alleyway, this week represents a notable difficulty spike and introduces some of the game's most beloved tracks. Pico was hired by Daddy Dearest to kill Boyfriend but decides to settle things through music instead.
Stage
The setting is a dark urban alleyway in Philadelphia at night. City buildings loom in the background with windows lit in various colors. A passing train periodically illuminates the scene from behind. The atmosphere is gritty and urban, perfectly matching Pico's street-tough character.

Backstory
Daddy Dearest, still furious at Boyfriend after Week 1, hired Pico — a skilled mercenary and fighter — to assassinate his daughter's boyfriend. However, due to Pico and Boyfriend's past relationship (they are canonically ex-boyfriends), Pico chose to confront BF through a rap battle instead of violence. This decision is significant to the game's lore and shows Pico's complexity as a character.
