I.-INTRO-(what I'm trying to achieve with this)
________________________________________________________________________
Ok, so I own Mystical Ninja for Nintendo 64, and I've finished it over
and over again and one day, I got bored.
So bored, I decided to write this Guide on Glitches, not a guide to help
you finish the game but a guide for those who have gotten bored of
watching the Dancin'and Kitty Lilly scenes and need some new challenges.
I know the game is now three years old, but I don't see why Somebody
like me shouldn't write a Glitches faq for it.
I'd also like to say that I think Mystical Ninja for N64 is one of the
most Bugged games I've ever played. I mean really! The programmers have
done a poor job in testing it for glitches because theirs a lot!
Furthermore, this Guide will give an in-depth look at all the Glitches
I have found in the game and a look at all the Secrets I think are
worthwhile posting in this guide.

II.-THE SECRETS-(stuff you probably knew already)
________________________________________________________________________
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
%The Sound Mode Option%
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This will be available for you in the options menu at the start screen
once you have reached the Wartime Kabuki robot: Kashiwagi, and it asks
if you would like to save your point in the Adventure diary, not when
you've finished the game as initially thought.
This is a neat addition to the game, you can choose to hear any
tune/song from Mystical Ninja.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
%The Consecutive Boss Fighting Mode%
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Once you has successfully completed the game, and collected all 45
fortune dolls you will be given the Impact Boss Fighting Mode in the
options menu.
This is basically just fighting all of the Impact bosses in a row to win
a prize...
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
%Secret Impact Picture%
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This is the prize you get when you finish the Consecutive Boss mode. Its
just a lame picture of Impact and a few bosses from the game.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
%Watch Impacts Head Spin%
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
During near the end of an Impact movie scene, when the background is
made of yellow and orange ribbons, you will be able to move his head
around with the control stick, but only for a brief moment of time.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
%Use rumble pack in Impact Stages%
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
You can use the rumble pack when playing as Impact. It doesn't say this
anywhere in the manual officially, but it does work.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
%Sasuke can attack with his hair%
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This isn't really a secret at all, I just thought it was weird. Hold [Z]
and press (B) while using Sasuke.
________________________________________________________________________
III.-THE GLITCHES-(stuff you probably didn't know)
________________________________________________________________________
These Glitches will appear in alphabetical order of the region, then the
town/area that they appear in.
All of these glitches I have found myself and have been proven to work
by me. They are also in steps to make it easier for you to understand.
But before you go off to test these glitches, you must have first got up
to receiving Sasukes Jet Pack magic power, otherwise a lot of these
glitches wont be able to be completed properly.

%Over the fence glitch%
Area: Musashi
Character required: Sasuke
1.When in Musashi, walk down to the large fence in the water.
2.Go to the right side of the fence where it connects to the stone wall.
3.Use Sasukes jet pack to slide off the wall and over the fence, and
into an unmapped area.
Here you can swim far out to sea, or even walk around to the other side
of the Musashi building structure, but be careful not to fall into
space. This is one of my personal favorites!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
%Walk in the air glitch%
Area: Oedo town Castle, broken bridge-outside
Character required: Any
1.Upon entering the area with star blocks, via the Oedo Castle main
gate, and make you way to the sign.
2.You must then jump onto the fence behind the sign, and face away from
the sign to make this work.
3.Carefully, jump backward over the sign and you should now be walking
in the air above.
Be careful not to fall of the invisible walls and into the water, if
you do you should change into Ebusimaru and use his dwarf magic to swim
of the water to get placed back at the sign.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
%%%%%NORTHEAST REGION%%%%%
--------------------------
%Falling through the step glitch%
Area: Festival village, before Drummers tower
Character required: Any
1.Simply enter the area where the Drummer tower is.
2.Jump into the sloped wall on the right-side of the stone steps, you
will fall through.
This is probably the easiest glitch in the entire game, its very simple
to perform.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
%Stuck in Submarine glitch%
Area: Gourme Submarine, Japan Sea
Character required: Yae and Ebusimaru
1.As soon as you enter the Gourmet Sub, via the Japan Sea swim up and
you will be in the long room with a fan at the far end.
2.Try and swim into the roof directly above the passage you just came
in through, with any luck you will be above the nexus of rooms in a
large black area.
3.To get out, swim straight up until you reach the surface of the
invisible water (trust me) and change to Ebusimaru and use his dwarf
magic power.
4.As Mini-Ebusimaru, swim over to and above the fan, making your way to
the right side until you fall into space.
5.When you get re-sporned, you come back still as Mini-Ebusimaru and you
are stuck in the fans current. The Music has also changed from tune
No.34, into No.35.
I don't know if you can get out of this position or not, but if anybody
Finds out how to do so please email me the facts.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
%Walk above the ice glitch NO.1%
Area: Japan Sea+Mutsu Shoreline
Character required: Yae and Sasuke
1.Enter the Japan sea area, via the underwater passage at Mutsu
shoreline by using Yae's mermaid magic power.
2.As soon as you enter the Japan Sea, turn directly to your far right
and swim up and in towards the corner where the stone and ice walls
meet.
3.You should now be at the surface and above the entire Sea of Japan,
floating on invisible water.
4.From this point on you can either swim outside the walled area and
into space, or you can swim above and onto a wall so that your standing.
5.Once your standing, use Sasukes jet pack magic power to jump up and
with any luck, you should now be able to walk across the Japan sea
freely. You can also change into any character from this point.
6.To get back in under the ice and into the water, you must try and walk
of the walls edge, but DON'T FALL INTO SPACE. Once your back in the
invisible water its just a matter of swimming back down into the sea.
One more thing! When your above the sea floating on the surface of the
invisible water, swim above and out the way you came into the Japan sea
to the Mutsu Shorline. If it worked the music will change into tune
NO.34, which is the tune you would normally hear when you first enter
the Gourmet Submarine.
BE WARNED! The music does not always change back to normal until you
have switched the power off.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
%Walk above the ice glitch NO.2%
Area: Japan Sea
Character required: Yae and Sasuke
This is Just another way to get above the Ice of the Japan Sea. Its
a little trickier than the first way and I don't recommend it either but
you should still try this way just for fun.
1.Make your way into the Japan Sea area, via the underwater passage at
Mutsu Shoreline using Yae's mermaid magic power.
2.As you enter the Japan Sea swim past the first Green Seahorse and turn
left and down past another Green Seahorse and stop when you get close to
the first Spikey Ball enemy you see.
3.You should also see another Spiky Ball enemy past the first one, your
job is to line up the first Spiky ball with the one behind it. Where
they point to is almost exactly where you should swim into.
4.Swim up and into the wall area pointed out to you. You should now be
outside the walled area in space. Just do the same as in the first ice
glitch, but be more careful not to fall into space. Be patient getting
to the surface too, for the camera in this glitch doesn't like to follow
you that well at all.
If anybody knows any other ways to get above the Japan sea, I'm shore I
could post them in this FAQ.

point where their is enough space to change back into your normal size.
4.While standing on the green hill, turn to face the Coffee Shop and
change into Sasuke. Use his Jet Pack Magic to launch yourself onto the
top of the roof!
Tragically, you can't stay on the roof for long until you slide off.
But when you slide off, you may be able to direct yourself into one of
the stone walls below and maybe into another glitch?
