First off, I may refer to this game as Kunochi throughout this guide, because I
am so used to calling it that. The former title before it came out. I guess you
can tell I am a big fan of the Shinobi games.

VERSION HISTORY
*Version 1* : I was playing and got up to about stage 06 when I decided to make
a FAQ about it. I've never made one before so I thought that this
What I would be a great start. I've already wrote up to Level 2 Boss. I
Planned think I might continue up until stage 3 or 4 Boss. Took a break in
To Do the middle there. Updated some things like the graphic
NIGHTSHADE
at the top and then my computer froze (AHHHHHHH!!!!). Oh well.
Getting back to the game now...
Wrote Down Guides for Stage One Through Six. Also For the first
What I Section of Stage Seven. Been noting down Secret coins for all and
Did Do Secret Cards that I come across. Also bee noting down how many
Secret Coins do what.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*VERSION 1.1* : After taking a long nap (about 4 hours) I got up and played
again, because I have nothing better to do today. Kinda feeling
depressed 'cause of certain things. Any way , I played through and
wrote the guide for Stage Seven, but didn't finish the Boss. He is
Really hard and I only took down about three of his health points
While he took down like five pellets at a time for my health, and
destroyed me quite fast.. I'll try again later, I am going out to
See the movie Secret Window with Johnny Depp, and Stephen King...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*VERSION 1.2* : Version 1.2 takes place after school on Thursday. Sean Spins
has just defeated Kurohagane and Jumushi. Going to work a bit
on STAGE 10 for a little while, while I wait for my friend to
arrive at my household. Also, now I just fixed some section
numbers and some minor bugs in each section. I like this
better now.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*VERSION 1.3* : Beat Level 10, along with Husui. I have 19 coins so far, and
about 5 or 6 secret cards. Added more to the table of contents,
like the names of each stage next to the stage name. I am going
start stage 11 and see what I can do for now.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*VERSION 1.4* : Beat Stage 11 and the... Door. Wrote about it. played stage 12,
AND HAVE NO IDEA HOW I WILL GUIDE IT. It is pretty massive and
there are a ton of different things to do in it. I have 22
Secret Coins so far, and +1 secret cards for whatever I used to
have.
_________________________________________________
OKAY, BY THE WAY! I have a CHRONIC and REALLY BAD case of insomnia.
So, I will probably be playing this game ALL the time and writing
this guide ALL the time. It will be done very very very fast, and I
expect not a whole lot of versions at all.
---P.S. ------ Now I am Insomnia Medicated. A pill called Ambien, so I might
(during ) be slowing down on the guide a little. I will keep moving
(version 1.2) forward the best I can. This medicine cuts off so much of my
time.

wrote that big, cause I hate when I'm looking
through guides and can't find the walkthrough!
300.0
First Words
In this guide, I tried my best not to give away the story line AT ALL. I hate
when I am reading guides, and then I read a little too far and it is basicly
TELLING ME THE STORY. I hate that very much. I don't want guide to tell me the
story. I just want them to help me out a little bit. Show me towards the right
direction if I am lost. That's what I believe a guide should be like. If the
guide give it away, then it seriously RUINS the story-line for you. I can't
believe people just start writing the story down when they should be writing a
guide!
Kunochi can tend to get a little hard and frustrating at times. Do not give
up! You must master the TATE. If you cannot master doing Tate, then this game
will just prove to be way way too impossibly hard. You can do it! Try really
hard! ALSO! Unlike Shinobi, Kunochi has no clock, counting away on every level
you do, so time DOES NOT play a part in deciding in your rank. Remember that.
Sometimes you can slow down a bit, best, take your time, looks around for
secret stuff. You need a break sometimes.
Personally, I like to switch the controls back to the original controls for
SHINOBI on the PS2. It you want to just switch Shurikens to Triangle, Kick to
L2, Ninjutsu to R3, and DEFINETLY switch Camera Reset to L1, I go SO frustrated
with that when I first started playing Nightshade. Okay, now pop that sucka in
the fancy disc tray and let kick this bad b0y off!
***GOOD LUCK!***
_______________________________________________________________________________
3.01
STAGE 01
TOKYO ; 23RD DISTRICT ; 04:59 P.M.
After killing the first set of grey guys (easy, about 2 hits), a silver coin
will fly by to the right of the very center, jump for it for +5000 points.
When the airplanes come and shoot missiles - lock on to them and kick them back
(using R3 if you reset the controls to the original Shinobi settings I listed)
you have to wait till the missiles get really close to you, or else they will
probably end up hitting you if you kick too soon. (To do this is alot easier
than to do it later in the game, they get faster and harder)
--A Secret Coin will pass by about 5 seconds after the first two machine guns
come up. These coins will unlock things like SURVIVAL MODE, TIME-ATTACK MODE,
MISSION MODE, and eventually you can get different characters and things like
that.
--A Scroll will pass about 2 or 3 set of guys later (after the air plane shoots
missiles + like 1 set). It's on the left side this time!
I can't seem to find the second coin at the moment.
BOSS
MYSTERIOUS FIGHTER
If you Chakra Gauge is up enough, use the Stealth Attack on him. To do this
Target Lock-On to him, close by(not too close) and hold down the Square button.
Release after Kunochi turns a darker red. This will take down half of his
health. Twice and he is dead!
If you don't have the Chakra filled, then kill all the enemies to get to full
power and then lock-on (always) and dash so you get behind him. Hit him from
behind. Kicking doesn't work.
He's got pretty low defense. Tough for the first boss. I died a couple times
the first time I think.
_______________________________________________________________________________
3.02
STAGE 02
MURUNOUCHI SITE ; 600 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL ; 06:27 P.M.
FIRST SECTION
Do not jump off the sides here, you're not dumb. Well duh. Anyway, you can get
points for destroying things here like crates and boxes and stuff to get a
better rating, and sometimes you find good stuff inside them!
Get used to doing TATE's because they are vital in Kunochi. When you do them
your sword powers up and you can hurt bosses ALOT more. You NEED it. plus, you
Chakra gauge powers up too.
SECOND SECTION
-To get the box up by it self on the shelf you need to go on the red box and
jump twice, spaced out, and dash. It's far you might not get it right away.
When you get it enemies come up. You can get a 6 Tate, the most yet I think.
When your ready slash the crane and it will fall.
THIRD SECTION
Slash the crane on the right first.
--There is a Secret Card, it's on top of the platform on the left side when you
first walk in.
Here there is a weird tower thing. On top there is box with a Big Chakra item.
Lots of enemies will come up though, and the entrance will be blocked off until
you kill them all. There is a +1000 if you drop down on the left side of this
area. there is also +8 Shurikens if you drop down on the farthest side away
from the entrance. Go back and go to the right when ready. There is a box to
the very left when you get off this crane. The guy that jump up isn't that
hard. Just get around back of him and slash alot.
FOURTH SECTION
Head backwards, drop down, and get +8 Shurikens. Drop down forward and you get
another +8 Shurikens. Drop down to the right get a Chakra charger. On the
second building drop down to the right and get a +5000 coin. When you get to
the top drop down on every side. There is:
--Secret Coin, Chakra power-up. I forget whatever, just do it.
Destroy the crane controls and proceed to the boss.
BOSS
GIANT MURUNOUCHI HELLSPAWN (Un-Earthly Insect Thing)
When he rolls around, dash around the level in a circle to not get hit.
When he smashed him arms into the ground, you can break them with slash to stop
the underground attack. They come back after he rolls. You can either wait
until he smashed his head into the ground and then do your stealth attack to
him. Jump on top of him when you do this. Or you can slash all the enemies and
power up then slash him in his stomach or when he smashed him head into the
ground. I have found though, that it is quite hard to hit him with the stealth
attack, so maybe just stick with tate's. Shouldn't be TOO hard. Finish him with
a TATE! Afterwards is when the story-line really comes into play. I'm not
really gonna give away the storyline in this walk-through..
_______________________________________________________________________________
3.03
STAGE 03
55TH DISTRICT ; SUBWAY ; 09:13 P.M.
FIRST SECTION
Basicly all you gotta do is go forward and kill all the enemies to proceed
through an area. make sure to break all the things, like boxes and machines
that you would find in subways. You'll get a good score mannnn. I've been
getting all A's so far! I should be an honor student!!
SECOND SECTION
Okay, when you first walk in here there is this large door on the right wall.
You can break it down. Do that. In here there are lines of, I guess they are
umm power storage machines for the subways. There are some Chakra power-ups and
some blue coins in here I think worth +500 or maybe just +50 I forget. Only one
enemy though, but later on... well.. you're in for a surprise!
Go back now, and to get up to the next area all you have to do is run on the
walls. Pretty cool!
After two of wall running things, you'll come to another door... this time on
the left wall. In here there is a ration. Also in here, there is... A LOT Of
ENEMIES, AND YOU CAN GET A... 30 TATE!!!!!!! Do that. try real hard. Promise?
IT's a small room so it's actually easy. Later on you'll experience large open
areas with 30 tates. HARD! When you're about to exit the level, on top of the
exit there is a wall you can slash down. Behind it is +8 Shurikens, and a
Chakra Power-Up.
THIRD SECTION
This area is GREEN. Do not step on the green slime. You will get stuck in it,
and I believe your health might go down I am told.. Not sure exactly. Just
don't go in it. Follow along the path. The game really isn't hard to know where
to go, it's just that it's challenging. The big alien-looking hell spawn isn't
so bad. He gives you a health too. After some more slime you will come to
another door. There is another 30 Tate!! Also there is a Ninjutsu Magic Scroll.
Grad it! Now heading up the ramp, after the slime...
--About 3/4s of the way up the ramp jump on the wall and jump upward. you will
grab a Secret Coin #1 of this level!
Destroying the train stopper thing (don't know what it is) wil grant you access
to a +5000 Points Coin! (but you should be destroying everything all the time!
--Secret Coin #2: Under the gate at the very end of the level. Just jump once,
and then hold down and slash. You can slash downwards in this!
FOURTH SECTION
-- Secret Card : When you get to the train wreck, first jump down, deal with
the guys up top later on. The secret card is toward the back of this area.
Jump up from the secret, to a platform to grab a health capsule.
BOSS
GIANT SUBWAY HELLSPAWN (Centipede + Venus Fly Trap Mouth = This Guy.)
Don't really worry about your health here. Just go all out on him. Once the
other enemies show up that is. You'll need them to power up. Seriously, you
should have like no problem. I personally thought he was easier than the
previous boss.
Okay, start off by destroying all the yellow dots on his sides. They don't have
a lot of defense once your sword is powered up. Watch out for his attack where
he spits out the green slime. Once all the yellow [lights?] that are on his
side are out, then attack his tail. I find it is much better to attack his tail
because he doesn't stun you with his green ooze from his mouth and then keep
hitting you. Sometimes he might hit you by swinging his tail though..
-You can destroy the little pipe things on the ground to get health.
-When he moves around the area, just sort of follow him around and you'll be
fine. He moves backward at one point, so just stay to the left of him a bit,
and behind, not right on his a$$.
_______________________________________________________________________________
3.04
STAGE 04
SHINJUKU ; EAST STATION EXIT ; 02:28 A.M.
Here's where they introduce you to Force Fields. I'll give you a little more
information:
"Using 'Talisman' created by the sorcerers can establish a parallel force
field to seal in or out unwanted enemies.
Break the mirror thats seal the Yang and either release or destroy each
layer of the force field to advance towards the heart of the parallel fields."
(P. 26; Nightshade Booklet; On Releasing/Destroying Force Fields)
That's almost a reference they teach you in English class. I don't really know
how to do one, but oh well. I thought it was hard to find, so I thought I share
it with you.
I'm only gonna note where hard-to-get mirrors are. You aren't dumb, like I said
earlier I believe. Now you don't have to kill all the enemies, but I recommend
it.
FIRST SECTION
After breaking two seals climb the buildings to the right and so inside a small
area. There is a Ninjutsu Scroll, and also
-- Secret Coin #1 : (continued from above) after killing all the enemies jump
off the building do a Jump Jump Dash, perfectly straight, and you will get a
Secret Coin and you will fall and get hurt.
SECOND SECTION
When you get to a area with a large hole in the ground, DO NOT FALL DOWN IT. I
have fallen down many times accidentally, ad it sucked A LOT. Right before this
large hole in the ground (how it got there I do not how, why it leads you to
endlessness and death, I do not know) but anyway, climb up the building to the
right and behind a large billboard is a box, I forget what's inside. There is
an 8 Tate here too. The more number tate, the more your Chakra gauge goes up.
--Secret Card : Get behind the billboard before the first giant hole in the
ground, now go on the left side of the billboard (from behind) and there is a
small opening. Jump and grab the Secret Card!
After the giant hole there is a cage, jump up and go down to get inside. There
is a Ration, which increases your MAXIMUM energy! After breaking the seal, come
back to the cage thing, and go up up up. Around here, now you will see four
coins in a row. Jump Jump Dash in the air, now just fall while collecting them.
THIRD SECTION
Here's something to remember::: RED Seals = Enemy Protected ; BLUE Seals =
Mirror Protected. Get it? Got it. Good. (I don't get it..)
--Secret Coin #2 : In the big open area (intersection) There is a green car
sign on a wall. Get on it. Now use the camera too look around behind you. Jump
Jump Dash to get it.
Now, This is the big open area I walk talking 'bout earlier. There is a BIG
TATE here, but I've never done it 'cause the area is big and it's hard. It's
not that it's so hard, it's just that the yellow guys are hard cause they float
high in the air. They are so HIGH. God, they should stop doing drugs. Most I
got was 19. You can slash up the abandoned cars, and sometimes get items. (not
to mention..AGAIN..that you get points!)
FOURTH SECTION
The first mirror barrier, instead of going the big open way (with the big open
ugly endless hole) when you break the second mirror, go back to the little
alleyway, go up the buildings in the alleyway on the left and get a box filled
with a health capsule. Afterwards there is a flying machine guy, do not fall to
your death while trying to kill him. Remember there is a hole in the ground
under you. They set you up!
When you break the seals in the next area head back to that ledge where one of
the mirrors were. Jump up and there is a platform here. Break the round thing
and get a health capsule.
FIFTH SECTION
--Secret Coin #3 : When you get to the train tracks part there is one of those
electrical tower bridge things you'd normally see on train tracks.anyway, the
part with the yellow and black caution thing click the really skinny pole and
get to the top. Walk across slowly and grab the coin!
BOSS
KAZAGURUMA
Up until now, the bosses haven't really had and special attacks and such. This
warrior has an special attack called Wind Slash. Three Tornado will show up,
and if you go in them you will get hurt. I would've liked to see Kunochi get
sucked up and thrown all over the place. That woulda been pretty sweet. Anyway,
He's got an attack where he throws his weapons (I think I've seen these in
Croutching Tiger, Hidden Dragon maybe.. Not sure.) And also, When he jump up to
do his Wind Slash, it's a good time to get to the very center and charge up
your stealth attack. I'm not sure if this exactly works, cause I didn't beat
him this way. It seems like the Tornados come out from the center and then
spread, so I'm not positive. Basicly all you gotta do it power-up your sword,
and hit it. He isn't hard. Really.
______________________________________________________________________________
3.05
STAGE 05
TOKYO CONTAINER YARDS ; 05:11 A.M.
This level is unlike any other level so far in Kunochi and Shinobi. It is just
a big open field, not a level where you proceed on. Pretty cool I kinda like
it. I'm not too sure if the boss comes in by Time, or by killing all the
enemies. My guess is by Time. So try to get all the stuff before he comes. I'll
try to count how much time.
--Secret Coin #1 : Go forward from the beginning and destroy some boxes here.
It's in one of the boxes.
--Secret Card : Didn't even know I got it, just kinda showed up at the end...
*I'll look for other stuff in here later on...
BOSS
GIANT CONTAINER YARD HELLSPAWN (Transforming Alien-looking almost metallic.
Transforms into Panther-looking creature.
*This Giant Hellspawn will switch back and forth between his forms.*
I'm not joking around here. This boss is very very hard. For me personally it
took about 19 retrys before I beat him. I was so happy to do it too. I am doing
it again just to help people like you! I'm such a nice guy.
First Form
-Description : tall, red and off-blue.
-Protective armor, you cannot break. Therefore, You cannot attack him.
-Shoots blue power rings
-Sends down lightning bolts
--You should : Run around the board, searching for health.. If there is not
health, then may I suggest running along the walls? Or you could just stay down
and have the danger of being hit when you should be saving your health.
Second Form
-Description : Red Panther-like creature. Very Fast, Agile and Very Powerful.
-The Flame Ninjutsu Magic DOES NOT WORK.
-You must kill all enemies before you even start to think about hitting him.
His high defense, and high attack power can lead to death very quickly.
-Stealth Attack is too hard to get down on this guy, so I am strongly guessing
that it will NOT work.
-WEAK POINT : If you can jump on his back, then this is great. He stalls and
stops for a little while. Just keep slashing while holding down with your full
powered sword. You take a ton of your energy down if you're on his back. Like
20% Seriously!!!! (Stealth Attack still does NOT work even if you're on his
back.)
-Pretty much all you can do it pray for good luck, and hope so much that
everything will go well.
-Be Patient. Good things come to those who wait. Please do not FREAK out (too
much) at this lovely game.
**GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!**
_______________________________________________________________________________
3.06
STAGE 06
CENTRAL TOKYO HIGHWAY ; 07:38 A.M.
On this really awesome stage, you have to jump from truck to truck to proceed.
A missile shoots and blows up the truck. You need to get off it and jump to
another while it's on fire. Items do fly by, so be on the look out. I will try
to list everything I can. As always.
***To Look For Items Passing By, all you have to do it look forward to the
direction the trucks are going towards.You will see a light coming. (sometimes
these shiny objects MAY be missiles) Wait for it to get close and GRAB IT!! Or
else you will miss it. OR ELSE... CERTAIN DEATH!!!!!!!***
You should know what to do, there is nothing EXTREMLY difficult, and plus, it
sometimes is awesome to accomplish stuff on your own, am I correct? But anyway,
Here are items that pass by, because this is a guide, and I am SUPPOSED to tell
you something ::
-Chakra Power-up does float by on the first Skinny truck to pass by, with a box
on the side of it. Wait on the truck of a little while and you will see a light
coming.
--Secret Coin #1 : Comes by when there are THREE SKINNY TRUCKS all together. It
comes by the right most of the trucks.
--Secret Coin #2 : After the three skinny trucks section, then they will blow
up. you will jump on a truck, and after that another one, anyway you know the
deal THE VERY NEXT SKINNY TRUCK TO PASS BY. You are SO jumping on it. It is
towards the top of the side of the truck. GET IT GET IT GET IT!!!
At the end there is something like a 30 TATE. And you jump on the next truck.
BOSS TIME!!!!
BOSS
ONIBI
Okay, this guy is EXTREMELY TOUGH (I think so at least). He is so hard and I
hate him SO much. The things you REALLY REALLY NEED in this fight are the
following::
Patience (A L O T)
A BUTT LOAD OF TIME
Hard Work [and that's all]
So this is what to do. I really really don't know of an easy way to beat him.
So this is what I did::
Any chance I got to attack him, I did it. ***I only him him once or twice***
and got away quickly before he could do his flamer thrower attack to me.
--IMPORTANT--:: His FLAME THROWER attack is a counter attack. IT ONLY SHOOTS IN
THE DIRECTION YOU WERE IN FROM WHEN HE WAS ABOUT TO START IT. To Dodge It: ONLY
hit him twice (if you're really quick then three) and then dash around him and
you shouldn't get hit. THAT is very important to know, because other wise
you'll be going down very quickly.
I didn't kick back his missiles, as they DO NOT HURT HIM. Also, if you kick the
missiles at him for too long he goes a little crazy and starts shooting SIX
missiles at a time. CRAZY.
*-*-*-There is a Secret Card in the very center on this area, up in the air.
-Shoots Missiles. -Ceiling Fire Spin. (THE BEST TIME TO POWER UP YOUR SWORD AND
GET READY FOR A MORE POWERFUL ATTACK it mau not be much, but trust me like
taking down 3 or 4 pellets at a time on this guy IS WORTH IT!) Flame Thrower(
Only If you hit him), and he'll jump on top on the blocks in the middle and
stuff. shoot some missiles there or weird sparkle things.
****THAT IS A VERY L O N G FIGHT?****
_____________________________________________________________________________
3.07
STAGE 07
NAKATOMI RESEARCH FACILITY ; 09:46 A.M.
--TO DESTROY THE YELLOW MACHINES THAT SHOOT CANNONS: First, you need to go
right up the them and kick them to take off their protective gear. Then jump
slash them a couple of times and they should go down.
--This Stage is where KICKING' really plays a vital role in the game. If you
cannot kick or do not know, check the manual. You NEED to know how to kick.
Basicly everyone in the stage you need to kick before yuo attack because they
all have protective gear or are blocking.
FIRST SECTION
Go straight up kill all the guys, hang a left. now take another left. You are
in the center isle of cubicle's(this is how I will refer to them: I.E: Center,
and Side). They all have enemies in them. +1000 coin in one of them, and I
think there is a mirror in one of them (oops kinda missed that), and +8
Shurukiens in the same one as...
--Secret Coin #1: One of the End Offices in the first isle of Center Offices
has it it the top corner of it's room (go to the right when you enter, jump in
the top corner for it.)
Side Offices - Health, Mirror in the next, +500 (x3) Coins in the next.
Done, proceed to the elevators. = I usually kick all of these guys armor off
before I start hitting any of them, since they are so close together.
SECOND SECTION
Okay, After the elevators (theres nothing at top if you climb the wall / I
checked) Starting out in this area There is a FRONT row, a CENTER row, MIDDLE
row, and an END row. Remember that.
Left side of front - First door: Mirror
Right side of front - First +500 Coin Health and Ninjutsu Magic Scroll. Second
door- Mirror and RATION.
Left Of Center - First: Same as First Left Front. Second:Same as Second Left
Front (need to unlock the seal)
Right Of Center - First:Nothing. Second:Nothing
Middle Row (goes horizontal to the other rows) - +8 Shurikens, and Health
Capsule.
I just realized that nothing is in the END row, except for one room but was
just an extra door in a room I already did. Hope that wasn't too confusing.
Anyway - Just go through all the rooms!!
Go to the newly unlocked Seal.. Next!
THIRD SECTION
here you should use the platforms to move up and down. If you touch the lazer
ground you will get pretty badly hurt. The non-movie platform is pretty much
manual. stand on it till it moves, bring it to where you want, and when you
jump off it will stop too. Use the automatic platform to your advantage. Jump
when it's near in case you fall so you don't land on the lazer grids. Do not
fall too much here, because you need your health. Go through the halls at the
bottom, and to the next lazer grid moving platforms. If you can get the AIR
TATE here, it a pretty big number, but I was never good at Air tate's so I
can't get it. I don't know what happens at the bottom. Something weird happened
in my game and I ended up somewhere, then I went back down and through a door
and I led me to...
FOURTH SECTION
--Secret Coin #2: Jump off the edge to get it. Only do a Jump + Jump. Do Not
Dash. Now, fall straight down, and you will fall onto a bridge. From here, head
back up all the way where you started to make sure you get all the mirrors. Now
jump off the edge again in the same bridge again. Jump to get the +1000 Gold
Coin and keep heading downward.
--Secret Coin #3: Above a mirror on a platform in this room with the stairs
going endlessly downward. The platform with this one is about in the middle.
BOSS
GIANT FLYING HELLSPAWN
Okay, you're just gonna have to be extremely cautious and very defensive here.
At first I thought this was the hardest guy I've ever come across, but he's
actually quite easy. You attack him from behind basicly. The other guys that
come up that look like little versions over him, kill all them while he is
flying and them destroy him when he comes down, which should be just about when
you are done killing the other guys. Just to Dash Slash Dash Slash Dash Slash,
over and over and over. You'll bet like a 10 Combo every time, and it adds up
quick. It also adds up to your Chakra. To use it on this guy, get right
underneath him and wait until he is done shooting fire balls. Start powering
up, and if you're in a good spot he won't hit you when he starts another
attack. Hitting him with the stealth attack is like the same damage as
Ninjutsu. You should have at least two of those. Go all out! Good Luck!
When you're finished get the hell out of there!!

STAGE 08
NAKATOMI RESEARCH FACILITY ; 11:15 A.M.
FIRST SECTION
This was great level design for a timed stage. I fell off once on the way up.
If you do, don't worry about it. You have 15 minutes to backtrack the stage
you were just in. You don't have to shatter mirrors this time, they are already
done. Don't worry about the enemies on the way up the stairs. You only have to
worry about the last two batches at the very end to get rid of the red force
field.
SECOND SECTION
You don't have to get rid of any of these guys either. Just run straight up,
smash down the down, and kill off the ones inside here. Continue on. Only a
little while to go.
THIRD SECTION
Security door shuts closed. You can smash it down though. Slash it a few times
and it's gone. Do it some more now. Jump up the elevator, because they tell you
never to ride one while there is an emergency. Top. Go.
FOURTH SECTION
Same thing. Head up the elevator. This time here you will take a detour.
--Secret Coin #1: Take the first right from the elevator then the first left
from there. Break down some doors and you'll get the Secret Coin. Continue on.
Ut oh. Boss; Cyborg thing.
BOSS
NAKATOMI NINJA (ULTRA-KUROHAGANE)
Throughout the stage you should have picked up a few Chakra power-ups. You.
Need. Them. Badly. You also should have picked up at least two ninjutsu magic
scrolls. You also need at least two badly.
Start off with a regular ninjutsu magic. The fire one. Hit him a couple times
after that, like twice. Never attack him from the from, because he wil only
block and destroy your health with a fast kick. Soon, use the lightning
ninjutsu magic (the second one). While powered-up on this destroy all the
flying machine guys, then power up a Stealth Attack and totally wipe him out
with it. He is extremely vulnerable to the Stealth Attack. I thought this fight
was real hard at first, but I wasn't really trying at all. Easy as that!

STAGE 09
TOKYO HARBOR ; 07:07 P.M.
In this level there are four platforms you can visit. The are boats, so I will
write them in this guide as the on in the lead or in the back, or in the center
either side.
You can jump off into the water here, but you cannot walk off or dash off. So
don't worry about falling off just from beating up a hellspawn, unless you're
in the air and don't know it.
After the very first set of enemies a Ninjutsu Scroll comes, from the front
that is, just watch for it on the boat in the lead.
When the submarine comes up, if you manage to kick back both missiles then a
+1000 coin will appear in a box.
After the first set of hellspawn after the submarine this head to the back real
fast to get a box in between three flying machine hellspawn. The box has a
ration inside and does disappear.
--Secret Coin #1 : When the submarine comes up a second time the coin floats by
in between the center of two boats. (You might miss it if you are too busy
kicking the missile back, or fighting the hellspawn.)
A flying +5000 coin comes by sometime in between the two secret coins.
--Secret Coin #2 : Shows up inside of a box on the boat in the lead. It comes
when two boxes fall down at the same time on two different boats. (two set of
hellspawn after the submarine comes up a third time.)
At the end of the level there is a 30 TATE!!
BOSS
JIMUSHI
THERE ARE NO SAFE PLACES. With that said, Then I should let you know that at
random spikes will shoot up in the air, way to fast for you to get away.If ou
are dashing across the level, then you cna probably get away from them, but
that is accidentally.
There are healths around the edges like usual. Use them up up up.
Very unlike the last boss, Stealth attacks are useless here. Do not try, for
you will easily be eliminated. You must be extremely patient.
Pay attention to the patterns the hellspawn and the pillars come up. They will
come up the same way everytime he is on the same platform. Usually in a certain
pattern so you can tate them all, get up there, and really give it to him.
AS SOON AS YOU GET UP THERE GO NUTS ON HIM. I mean really just keep hitting
dash and slash like never before. Every single hit counts. He will go down.
Slowly, but still will go down. Do Not Forget About Your Ninjutsu Magic. You'll
probably have at least two (if you grabbed the one that floated by I mentioned
on the stage). There is really no easy way of winning this match.
--Secret Card : Sometime before the end of the match, grab the secret card
which is (starting from where you began the boss area) to the right, at the
very top when Jumushi bring the pillar to the top. You will have to jump off
the side for it. Make sure you have either a dash or another jump to get back
onto the land, because it is a little bit over top of the water.
Good Luck!

STAGE 10
HARBOR ROAD ; 11:12 P.M.
FIRST SECTION
When you begin this stage, jump over the wall to your left and land on a small
walkway. Slash the box and get a Ninjutsu Magic Scroll.
--Secret Card : When you first being the stage, jump to the second platform,
and jump over the wall on your right onto a small walkway. When you get close
to it, it will appear along will a cool noise.
--Secret Coin #1 : Right After getting the Secret Card, walk forward on a tiny
plank like pole. Turn around and turn the camera around. Look downward and you
will see a platform with +8 Shurikens on it. Jump to it, then wall-run across
and get the Secret Coin! (Now to get back, just jump on the other side of the
screen thing and jump over to the other side).
SECOND SECTION
Nothing secret I don't think. Behind the van that is hanging more than half way
off though there is a +1000 bonus. When you get to the huge gap in the road,
just go on the right and jump off on that side. It's closer, so it's easier to
get to. This section feels real short. At the very end you'll see a ration at
the end. Jump the gap and grab it on the right hand side.
THIRD SECTION
--Secret Coin #2 : When you start, there is a road barrier going up and you
have to climb it. Well, when you go up, go back down on the other side, and you
will get it and the very bottom. Don't fall!
Basicly just jump from every platform to platform. It may be pretty hard at
first, but you'll get the hang of it. behind like the fourth platform you can
jump behind it and hit a box to get a Ninjutsu scroll.
FOURTH SECTION
To get across the first jump, you'll need to lock on the the flying hellspawn,
do a jump dash and kick right after. It'll do a flying kick thing, then jump to
the concrete.
--Secret Coin #3 : It's flying in the middle of a huge circular hole in the
ground. To get it, you need to do a flying kick at the hellspawn near it, jump
to it, and then dash back quickly to slash the hellspawn and jump back to the
ground.
I say, once you get the secret coin, GET OUT OF THERE NOW! I hate these guys.
At the end of the level there is a big Tate you can do, but I hate these flying
guys with the defensive thing on, so I will never be able to do it. When the
hellspawn were flying way over the holes in the ground I either stood near them
and waiting till they charged me to get them away from my death. Or, I just got
frustrated so I used a stealth attack on two of them. Hopefully you will have
better luck.
BOSS
HISUI
This girl is strong. And I really mean strong. Her attacks take down a big
chunk of your health, but she is easy to dodge.
Hit her whenever you can, since she is so easy to dodge. When she jumps in the
center of the side of the level, it means she's about to do her special attack
(turn the level to water, and go crazy on you). To stop her from doing this,
when you see her jump into the center (on the side-center) then get to the
raised platform near her. Lock-on, dodge her water attack, and then jump at her
and slash her. This will prevent her from doing the attack. Now that the
enemies come from this move, kill all them, and do a Stealth Attack, taking
down a lot of her health. or you can just attack her a lot, either way she'll
go down easily.
Also, if you have Ninjutsu Magic available, use the wind magic (it's the third
one). Now, instead of having to get real close to her to stop her special
attack, just shoot a shurikien at her (which is now powered up) and it'll do
the same as slashing her.

STAGE 11
TOKYO HARBOR, "GOLDEN PALACE," ; 12:08 A.M.
(Remember this from Shinobi? Now the Golden Palace is all in ruins pretty much)
FIRST SECTION
--Secret Coin #1 : When you first start off, if you look across to the other
side you will see a box. Go to that. Get the scroll, and run across the wall
behind there. Now, on the ground look down for another platform. When you see
it drop down, and move your camera around until you see another platform with
the coin on it. To get back up, you have to jump back to where the 3 flying
hellspawn were on that little concrete balcony thing.
When you get to the part with no floor, and just walls to climb on, you don't
nessesceraly have to kill the flying hellspawn, but you can if you are good.
The first left on the wall running part there is a +1000 coin. Grab all the
Chakra power-ups on the way.
When you come to a dead end, you're gonna have to jump to the other side. you
can make it just by jumping, but the hellspawn could help you..
SECOND SECTION
You'll need to kill most of the enemies here, because mostly there are a lot of
red force fields you'll need to break. When you get to the huge hellspawn in
the middle of the level you can break down the third pole and you'll get a
pretty big heath capsule. just kick him in the face and slash. Jump when he
jumps and you'll be fine. At the very end of this section, jump on the wall to
the side of the gap n the ground. You can jump into a little cut-out hole and
the box there has a +5000 points in it. you can jump down further and there is
a 10 tate there, and down ever further is behind the waterfall at the
beginning. I don't really know what to do with that yet.. I didn't find
anything else special about this level.
THIRD SECTION
The beginning of this section reminded me of the first section. Thought we were
going in circles for a second. I just pass all of the flying hellspawn that I
can here.
--Secret Card : When you get to the enemies with the waterfall on your left,
kill all them, and then go back a little bit to the beginning of the waterfall.
You can jump on a circular platform behind the waterfall, and when you do a
secret card will appear. Jump forward, get it, and then jump backward.
--Secret Coin #2 : When you get to the third circular platform that is being
held up with ropes, wait until it moves to the highest place. Now, just jump to
the one behind the water fall and grad the secret coin on your way.
FOURTH SECTION
I remember this part the most from Shinobi. Except the waterfalls. There are
some really long jumps in this stage. Just take you time, and look where your
going. You should be fine. Sometimes, kicking the hellspawn to get around and
area will help a lot. other time, do not even bother to attack them. When you
get to the giant poles keep hoping straight upward, and you can up to the
center platform which is very high now above ground level. There is a Ninjutsu
Magic scroll in the box.
Secret Coin #3 : When you jump on the last platform, do not walk forward.
Instead, walk along the edge to the right. jump on the tall pole, and on the
side facing all the umm... Goo stuff, on the wall. Jump the highest up on the
pole you can, and it's at the top.
When you get to the dead end there will be endless enemies unless you kill the
door. It will be mad-crazy-insaneness. Yes. Ok.
BOSS
Door.
Just kidding.... Umm... There is no boss, unless you consider the door a boss.
But, It's umm..... A Door. COOL! You just fought a door!
