PrinceWatercress plays Ninja Gaiden for Sega Master System - Part 2 of 8


This level has to have what is one of the laziest bosses I've ever seen.

Chapter 2: Pursuit in Tokyo

This time, you'll be approached by the Mafia, who laugh at the sumo wrestler for dying before he could tell you anything useful.

The men who jump around will shoot projectiles out of their cameras, while the guys who have their hands in their pockets will shoot guns at you. The red shirt guys will charge at you and jump at the edge of platform, and the birds will swoop down and home in on you.

Be careful when wall jumping from one floor to the next, as enemies will get in the way. Also, there will be spikes poking in and out of some floors, so watch your step. The hooks can also be used as platforms, and you can grab them from underneath and pull yourself up to the top of them if you need to.

The second half of the chapter takes place on the tops of buildings. While there are platforms you can jump to and grab a hold of from underneath, keep in mind that the red shirt guys with the knives will show up in greater numbers, as will the birds. Memorization of the level is necessary.

Case in point: walk off the second hook to the right. If you jump to the right, birds will hit you and you'll be knocked into the bottomless pit, losing a life.

Later in the second section, there will be steel beams that are frayed at the top. Those are spikes; do not land on those.

The Japanese symbol that you find prior to the boss is health. You'll have to wall jump to get to it, but it is useful.

The boss is a Yakuza leader. He just sits there and lets normal enemies do all the work. You can just stand next to him and keep hitting him, and he will do nothing. It's the enemies you'll need to watch out for. Other than that, this boss is dead easy.

After the boss battle, you'll find out that a samurai has the Bushido.
