[REPORT]
Started the game playing on Normal Mode.
STAGE 1- First stage in the village went well. Did a perfect run and kicked the boss' butt.
STAGE 2- Lost 4 lives and 1 continue! Waterfall area kicked my butt this time. The ninja's really blend into the background nicely. What wasn't so nice is that they kept firing their stupid shurikens at me (causing me to fall off into the pit below). The boss in the disco club was easy to beat. Just knelt down and fired my shurikens at him until he bit the dust.
STAGE 3- Lost 1 life. The military compound. This stage is easily handled by using one of your ninjitsu's (the one with the force field) around the middle of the stage. At the end you get that ninjitsu back via a power-up. Brain boss in the spherical shell gave me little problems.
STAGE 4- Lost 2 lives and my second continue! Damn you pit right at the beginning of the factory! Took care of the Terminator boss in two tries (really easy pattern, hit the head, avoid object and jump his dash attack).
STAGE 5- Lost 6 lives and my last continue! What a pain getting through the building with all the security lasers. Figured out way too late that instead of carefully going through the level, you can just jump and rush to finish it. Joe met his end on the second area (the freeway) as a guard blew him up via grenade.
The classic box art we all know and love!
The Japanese game is titled "The Super Shinobi". Really cool art that's a part of the in game title screen.
The cover of the Mega Drives version of Shinobi. Can you tell the difference?
