Gameplay

Characters

Red Ninja

Main Weapon: Short range sword slash.

Special Technique: None

Ninjutsu: Teleports to the beginning of the level.

Blue Ninja

Main Weapon: Mid range strike with Manriki-Kusari.

Special Technique: Use the chain to swing from grappling points.

Ninjutsu: Tatsumaki. Turns into a whirlwind and can fly around the screen. Can be used to reach high up places.

Yellow Ninja

Main Weapon: A large shuriken with sharp edges that can return to user after throwing. (Seems like a bad idea)

Special Technique: Walk over Water

Ninjutsu: Ikazuchi. Creates a shield of lightning around the user that will protect him for a set amount of time.

Pink Ninja

Main Weapon: Short range bombs. Heavy damage to most enemies.

Special Technique: Walk on ceilings.

Ninjutsu: Flash. Illuminates dark areas until the area is cleared.

Green Ninja

Main Weapon: Small Shurikens. Weak power but longest range.

Special Technique: Double jump. While double jumping, pressing the attack button fires shurikens towards to front.

Ninjutsu: Earthquake. Damages all enemies in the screen and destroys weakened boulders.

Rounds

	Castle
	The Pink Crystal is hidden within the castle, with the Pink Ninja joining your team on defeating the boss.
	Building
	The Yellow Crystal is hidden here, and the Yellow Ninja is unlocked after beating the round.
	Canyon
	The Blue Crystal can be found within the caves of the canyon, and the Blue Ninja held by the round's boss.
	Factory
	The Green Crystal is somewhere in the Factory, and defeating the boss will reward you with the Green Ninja.
	Enemy's Base
	Unlocked once you have all the Crystals and Ninjas, this incredibly tough maze has a few surprises before you reach the final boss...
