Round 2: Battle on the Railway

Stage 2-1

Here, you'll be on a destroyed bridge. Look high and low to hunt for hostages and take out enemies, but don't fall in the water or else you're dead.

The ninjas with two swords can appear out of nowhere. They take two hits to kill unless you have an attack power-up.

The platform with the two gunmen near the end has a hidden 2-Up to the right of it. Use your ninjutsu to get rid of the gunmen and reveal the 2-Up, and be careful while getting it.

Stage 2-2

Up and C lets you jump into the background, while Down and C lets you jump back into the foreground. This is useful when you want to get everything on both sides of a chain link fence. Be sure to plan your movements carefully at the second fence; the gunmen will shoot and hit you you when you get on their end.

Stage 2-3

This boss just pops out of the wall and moves its arms at you. Stay as far away from the face as possible and keep throwing shurikens at the face. That's all there is to this boss, which is much easier than the first one.

The bonus stage has a slightly darker sky.
