DeceasedCrab plays The Ninja Warriors - Part 1 of 9

We shall overthrow some red-eyed pointy-eared guy named Banglar and his evil government with three robots...that are ninjas. Ninja robots!

Anyway, the game came out in Japan as The Ninja Warriors Again, and it's a chronological sequel to the arcade original. They took the "Again" out when they released it here. In Europe, the game was called Ninja Warriors: The New Generation.

It should also be noted that in the Japanese version, there's green blood! Sadly, it was replaced with comic-style impact balloons in the American version. Boo, NoA!

Stage 1

That robot is too tall and too heavy to be a ninja...or is it?

Anyway, you'll be running to the right and destroying everything in your way. You'll be punching. You'll be slicing. You'll be throwing. You'll be blocking. You'll be duck walking. You'll be flying (somewhat) in the air and kicking people on the way down. And nunchaku will be tossed around. Yes. Nunchaku.

Halfway through the level, you'll be seeing missiles rising in the background and falling from the sky on your side of the city. Remember where they are and walk around accordingly. They fall at regular intervals, but they can immediately knock you down, which can be annoying.

The soldier guys are nothing, but the guys with the claws jump around a lot. Punch him whenever you can, even if you can get only one shot on him at a time while doing so. Throwing other enemies into him works great, but the best way to take him down is with a ducking combo.

The red guys with the guns aren't really good shots. Just like in the original, you can simply duck (and duck walk) past their shots and get away undamaged.

The boss here is some huge robot guy with a red mohawk that's taller than even the ninja. Since he'll always trying to block your attacks, throw those soldiers that show up at him. Using a dashing kick also works, since he can't block that.
