Now that we've got the Vitalizer spell, we have an edge against the thieves...
All maps by zagato blackfist.
Now that we have the Vitalizer spell, you'll want to make your way to the east. You can come here before getting the Vitalizer spell, but the ealier you have Vitalizer, the better. This leads to the Samurai's Tunnel.
Samurai's Tunnel
You'll meet a new enemy here: a flaming face that will fly at you. It laughs at you before it comes at you, and you will want to get on a platform and hit it with a punch in mid-air. These enemies will give you quite a bit of experience for this point in the game. Also, unlike the other battles you've been in, this one takes place on a side-scrolling screen rather than one where you can move in eight directions.
The path through here is pretty simple, though there is another mini-game here where you can play with the Red and Blue Gems. Once again, this is a game of concentration where you will be matching objects. Whatever you match, you will get, and if you match the skulls, you get nothing and lose one of your chances. This game costs 100 Sen to play.
The Cupsule will come in handy later. For now, if you get one in the concentration mini-game, hold on to it.
There is a path to a chest if you go past the exit. When you see the X in the wall, stand next to it and use a Boo Bomb on it. The chest just contains a Sweet Bun, though. If you have the maximum number of Sweet Buns you can carry, the chest will contain nothing.
The onis with the clubs will, of course, hit you with their clubs, and it does not take them long to do it. They give just as much experience and money as most of the other enemies you've met so far will give you.
When you reach the exit (which you'll have no choice but to do your first go-around in this cave), you'll meet a samurai who says he has all the information on the robbers that you'll need. From there, you can go back and take the path to the chest.
When you exit the cave, you will come out of a cave on an island to the west. This is Tamagi Island. Go south and you will reach Edo City.
Edo City
When you talk to the people here, you will find out that the samurai here are rather idle, and that whoever kidnapped them cast a spell on them to make them lazy. You'll also learn that the cave west of here will take you to Mt. Wasabi.
One of the buildings across from the entrance to the city is Samurai Scorpio's dojo. He will tell you to pick two words that do not appear on the list of flashing words on the left side of the screen. Take your time, as there is no time limit. If you get it wrong, you'll have to re-enter and try again. If you get it right, Interestingly, the words are names of characters from other Culture Brain games. If you win, you'll just get a Dragon Egg.
You can buy Cupsules here, as well as the Shogun Sword and the Eastern Gear (which are stronger than what you have now).
You'll meet King Toro and Princess Tamago in the palace. They'll tell you that the robbers that you stopped made the samurais here lazy, and that they are hiding inside of Mt. Wasabi. They will tell you to come back when you stop them.
When you enter the cave west of Edo City, you'll enter a side-scrolling action scene. Here, you will have to bounce off log platforms to avoid the lava. Make sure you are as far to the right as possibel when you do this,
The skull platforms will sink when you stand on them. You'll also see Charon riding his boat on the lava before you leave the first section. You can use that boat as a platform.
For the second section, keep running by double-tapping the direction on the Control Pad you want to go to to avoid the falling spikes. From here, the Spider Shoes will let you move to the third sections. You can play Concentration here if you want to.
The multiplying flying enemies are back. Wait for them to disappear before crossing lava and pits in certain spots.
For the part with the broken platforms at the end, just keep holding Right on the Control Pad and you will make it to the exit.
If you beat up any enemies at any point from the beginning to the end of this area, you will get the experience and money you would usually get from them when you reach the end.
When you're back on the world map, you'll be on the other end of the mountain range that you could not walk to. Head to the east and enter Mt. Wasabi.
Mt. Wasabi
At this point, you should definitely have a sword equipped when you go to battle. The sword swing is slightly delayed, but it's much more powerful than your fists.
Also, the thieves that acted as a boss earlier are now regular enemies.
