Finally, after all these years I see the game in its full. I never got past this stage with all the doors. I kept popping up in places I'd already been on that level. Never got to the final boss stage ever. Even now I watch it, I still can't see how it's done. I assume the characters above the doors mean something but I could never figure it out and still can't!
@BigGigantos@MRMIdAS2k the characters are the numbers in Kanji (Japanese) so you need to go with the sequence from 1 to 10 most of the time its the door with a candle to the right, the numbers are: 一(ichi) one, 二 (ni) two, 三 (san) three, 四 (yon or shi, but shi means death, thats why japanese ppl dont use 4 as shi they think the number 4 is for bad luck :P) four, 五 (go) five, 六 (roku) six, 七 (nana) seven, 八 (hachi) eight, 九 (kyuu) nine, 十 (jyuu) ten. The sequence should be 一三四八二六 (134826) (^_^)
What! I don't remember seeing nine or ten. I might have to play again, but sure enough that sequence does not include either one. :D
Also 4 is the same in Chinese, and maybe other languages, so same thing there... Just like 13 for western peoples the number of the reaper xD
Anyway congrats MrM, I had to use save states so many times after losing my power up... btw any idea about that thing that flies off the ninja master?!
@SashuRui if you mean the last boss he is like a kabuki dancer in minute 3:03 they move the hair like that, there is even a game for NES called Kabuki Quantum Dancer, its like Castlevania and Getsu Fuma Den style, he uses his hair as a weapon just like this one (^_^)
I never realized for the longest time, but the rooms are numbered one through eight, signifying the one you're in. That might help, but not much as it took me a while just now and my hands started getting sweaty. Just when you get to the branching paths where you gotta crouch, you know you're close.
As my 8 year old self I could never get passed the second to last level on that stage with all the door ways. Oh well I made it that far, didn't even realize how close to the end I was - I used to look for ages for the exit.
As for the final fight, the only thing that came to my was the song: "I whip my hair back and forth" lol.
Good times, Wow, good 9 years ago too! - I only recently got rid of my sega too
4:08 honey i had to go through a lot to save you....i fought a giant ass samurai, some guy in a club that almost gave me a seizure, the hulk/terminator, both spiderman and batman, AND A HUGE FUCKING DINOSAUR! Could i get some head now?
Cool. I was good as you when I was in my prime playing this game. I even beat it on the hardest with 0 shirukens. I prefer using the lightning shield against the last boss, just to make sure I keep my power up.
the end kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Jesus Christ, you are amazing, MRMIdAS2k. Not in my wildest dreams could I play this game on the same level as you can. While I've been able to beat it with both endings, I could NEVER play with such mastery and finesse as you can (especially on the hardest difficulty). Great run!
thats wht i meant, if u fail u just load, of course u have to beat the whole level but thats a great help, but is still very good, some bosses i couldn't make it better ;)
You have no idea how much this means to me. I always wanted to play this game but my parents wouldn't get it for me so I just read the strategy guide. And thank you for not letting the girl die.
Furthest I got when I was a kid was the start of level 7, I'm glad I stopped playing it, saved myself endless hours of frustration cuz' Shinobi was hard as fu*#.
Holy shit at 2:33 and much respect i finally got to see the good ending. Everytime i used to beat this game Naoko always died. I wasn't fast enough nor skilled to kill Zeed. Must've been brutal to do this.
Thank you so much for posting this, when I was a kid I played this freakin game all the time trying to beat it. That maze always got me I could never figure how to get out of it! Til this day it is one of the hardest games I've ever played.
I know you can't use the self destruct & the fire dragons pillar magic on the end boss cuz it can't hurt no matter what but your alot better then me able to get through every stage without lossing your pow up & using ur protection magic. I always have to use the protection magic on cetain times to i don't lose the pow up which I hardly ever do any ways.
I see, one thing that I've always wonderd cuz i've finished this game quite alot of times while growing up, when you kill zeed you noticed something flying out of his body when he blows up? always wonderd what it is.
I always thought the fire pillars & the self desruct magic cant hurt him? has anyone noticed that everytime you kill zeed at the end you see something flying out of him but have never sussed out what it is but any ways nice game play all the way through I doubt i'll be able to do all that with at least using the proctection magic to stop me losing the Power up.
i've finished this game countless of times this & shinobi 3 is my old time favs outter the series. I just always thought the fire & self distruct magic is no good against him but i'll guess i'll try it. as for the little object you see flying out of him when he dies i does any one no what it is.
You're damn good.

Is that the self-destruct ninjitsu?
if so, you lose your POW when you do it, which is why i avoided it.

Takes longer to kill it with the self destruct than slashing it if you've got the POW though.
