PrinceWatercress plays The Revenge of Shinobi - Part 8 of 8


We've made it to the end of the game...but getting the ending you want is anything but easy! Are you crafty and good enough to beat the bad guy AND save the girl in the game's thrilling conclusion?

Round 8


In the first section, you'll be avoiding falling into the water again. The turrets that shoot fireballs can be stood on, but not destroyed. You'll have to carefully use them to get to where you need to go. Aside from the solders, the rope guys are back, and they take three hits to kill! The bomb throwing soldiers are the worst, as they can throw bombs at you from off-screen and the bombs can knock you right into the drink, resulting in instant death.

The second section is a maze. Here, go to the right and jump over the door with the "O" on it. Duck wall through the partition on the right and the enter the door in the nook. Destroy the flamethrower guy to the right, then enter the door on the right. When you enter this door, continue to hold Right on the D-Pad so you aren't forced to start this whole maze over. Jump past the door to the left of the rope guy and go right, then duck walk to the left into the darkened area that you see. Break the boxes you find here by attacking up close to avoid wasting shurikens, and you'll have access to a ton of power-ups. Double-jump to get out of this area, then make your way upwards and follow the path all the way to the door at the end.

Take care of the two enemies, then double jump over the wall and drop down. As you drop down, continue to hold Right on the D-Pad. Enter the door on the right. Take out both ninjas and get the POW icons, then duck-walk left and take out the soldiers on the way. Enter the first door that you see while going left. Use the Jitsu of Izakuchi and head left while destroying the enemies and enter the lower door on the left end of the room. You're at the exit. Face left, jump up and throw a shuriken to find a POW icon if you need, then get out of here.

You're now facing the final boss, some Kabuki guy who is the leader of Neo Zeed. Switch to Mijin before the battle, then go to the left side of the room and throw some shurikens at the black space in the wall. This stops the crushing stone ceiling inside the cell containing your girlfriend Naoko for a few seconds, and if she gets crushed before you beat the boss, you'll get the bad ending, so you'll not only have to beat the boss, but you'll also have to watch the ceiling in the background as well! Duck down next to the boss and throw a shuriken (or use your melee attack) when he strikes at you with his hair, then immediately get away from him and double jump so his hair doesn't hit you when he throws it at you. If you run low on health, use Mijin to refill it at the cost of a life.

If Naoko is still standing when you beat the boss, you get the good ending. If not, you get the bad ending instead. You've won!
