If anyone has anything at all that they would like to submit check the info section.Thanks! _Object_ You have to get to the end of the stage basically.There are two things that are trying to stop you.Enemies and the timer.So not only do you have to worry about the enemies you also have to race against the clock. _Things to know_ The clock is constantly moving.Don't screw around. One hit kills unless you drank a potion. Once killed you will be brought back where you died.Provided you have an extra life. Falling down holes is instant death. There are three stages in every level. Falling down steps stuns you. Getting hit by moving walls stuns you. You can deflect certain attacks from enemies.Simply attack when the projectile is close to you and it should send it back to the enemy. Jump on the purple thing at the end of the level to complete it. You start out with two lives. More lives can be gained by scoring enough points and picking up a head icon. _Attacking_ Well this is basically the main part of the game. Press the [] button to throw a throwing star.You can aim with the R1 and L1 buttons.But the aiming is kind of odd so you will probably be finding yourself moving around to hit the enemies.But there are times where you will need to aim so it is good to remember that you have the ability.If you hit an enemy multiple times you get,what I like to call,a combo bonus.For each time you hit the enemy you get more points.You have to be fast for it to work though.After an enemy is defeated run over to it.A spirit should float up grab it for a nice 200 point bonus.Some enemies fire at you. Sometimes you can deflect these shots by shooting them.You can also jump(X button) and shoot in mid-air.It is useful for the times when an enemy is on a ledge.Also at your disposal is Onigiri Ninpo.A special attack that is done by pressing the O button.You only have a limited number.Collect more by getting the scrolls with leaves,water,fire or frogs on them.Depending on what you get your special move will be different.It tends to kill all the on screen enemies. _Attack Power-up_ You can power-up your throwing stars.Simply collect a scroll with a picture of a throwing star in the corner and you will be powered up. Once powered up your throwing stars will be bigger and do more damage. _Cat Icon_ Collect one for 1000 points! _Tablets_ Worth 100 points each. _Gold Tablets_ Worth 300 points each. _Potion_ upon picking up the potion you will turn green.What this is basically is Armor.Once you grab it you will be able to sustain three hits before death unlike the normal one.You become green from the potion one hit and you turn yellow,one more hit and you turn to the normal red color. One hit from there and you lose a life. _Frog Scroll_ When you pick up a frog scroll with Onigiri Ninpo you will get one more. However,if you pick up a frog scroll when you have no Onigiri Ninpo you will turn into a Giant Frog.As the frog you can just jump on the enemies to kill them.It only lasts a short period of time though so watch out. I may be wrong about this.If anyone knows for sure about this email me. _Invincibility_ To become Invincible simply pick up the scroll with the two stick figures on it.You will then turn into three shadowy figures and you are invincible.This only last for a limited time. _Watch out below!_ Watch out for the holes that appear.One fall means instant death.An easy way to spot holes is by looking at the ground(Duh!).If there is a suspicious looking piece of floor it is probably a hole. _Don't Forget_ Don't forget to collect the spirit(?) of the enemies after you kill them. It gives you more points! _Extra Lives_ There are two ways to get extra lives.One is by getting enough points. The other is by collecting the item that looks like your head. _Onigiri ninpo_ This usually kills everything on screen.Use it when nessacery.It isn't too smart to use it when there are only two easy-to-defeat enemies around. _Mine cart tip_ Don't forget you can temporarily stop the cart py pressing down on the D-pad. _Aiming tip_ While aiming the movement controls will be kind of weird.They will move you in the same direction but while looking to the left for example pressing left on the D-pad will make you feel like your walking forward. But you are really just walking left.As you know when you let go of the look button it slowly goes back to your normal view.To make it go faster simply press the opposite look direction button.Example:You are looking left.Press the look right button to straighten it out. ---------- WALKTHROUGH ---------- This walkthrough was done on Normal difficulty.There are some differences on expert difficulty so please keep this in mind.As such the passwords stated after the level number are normal difficulty passwords. ======================================================================== Level 1 BBBB __________ Level 1-1 __________ Walk forward and take out the three enemies.Now is a good time to practice aiming(R1 &L1).You will eventually reach a curtain.Walk up to the curtian and it will raise allowing you access.From the curtain make a right.You should see a green sign in front of you.Go forward.Watch out coming up on your left will be two enemies.Quickly take them and then walk until you reach a gate.You should now see another one of those green signs and in front of it a scroll with a throwing star on it.As I stated in my Basics section this upgrades attack power.Grab it and jump on the blue roof in front of you.Jump on the roofs continuing forward until you reach a gate.Go through the gate.Watch out coming up on your left again is two more enemies.Get rid of them and continue forward.Make a left when you get to the dead end.In front of you should be a scroll with a leaf on it.This gives you onigiri ninpo(a special attack).Grab it and continue forward.On your way forward there should be what looks like a side street to your right.Turn in there rather then continuing forward.Walk to the end and then make a left.Walk through the wood.You should now be in a hallway with four tablets in front of you.Grab the tablets and jump up.Continue jumping up until you can see out side.Jump out side.Watch out.Turn right quickly three enemies will come after you.Dispose of them.Continue forward.Jump on that purple thing to complete the level! _________ Level 1-2 _________ Destroy the three enemies and the gate will open.Go through the gate and kill the two enemies that you see.Then jump atop the platform that looks like a table.Grab the weapon power up scroll and then jump to the next platform in front of you.Grab the two Onigiri Ninpo and jump down.
