Start With More Lives
Note: A controller with an auto-fire option is recommended. Locate the round tree on the right side of the first screen of level 1. Eliminate the first Ninja that appears. Approach the tree and shoot it for approximately fifteen minutes. Complete the level with 0% to receive ten lives and a large amount of bonus points.

Green Scroll Locations
You need all the green scrolls to make it to the final part of the castle, otherwise the game sends you back to find them. Here are their locations:

Level 1: You get one after killing a rock ninja, easy to find because you have to kill the ninja.
Level 4: After you kill the first girl that jumps from behind the wall, you'll come to two dog statues. Shoot the one on the left five times.
Level 6: In the first island part of the level, move in front of the tree in the top corner and it will appear.
Level 8: Just before fighting Gyokuro, you'll see a small grass area on the right. Go to the top left and stand near the tree, it will appear.
Level 9: The final scroll will only appear if you've all the others, it will be at the top of the wall you climb. Kill the two ninjas on the right and the other two if you need to and grab it.

Before there was Ninja Gaiden or Shinobi for the Sega Master System, there was a game called The Ninja. Yes, want a basic name, but there really was not any ninja video games out there. I played this game when it first came out and loved it. As I got older, the game is still fun, but there are some parts that still fustrates me to this day. It could of been a classic game, but it wasn't an arcade hit and I think the game was just put together to help market the Sega Master System and make some money at the same time. It is a spin off of alot of shooting games that were out at that time, but enemies could attack you from behind. After all, you are a Ninja, right. Not really, your face, like in Shinobi, is revealed for the whole world to see. I think a more fitting name to this game would be The Samurai because you are on a mission to rescue a princess in hopes of marring her. Ninjas are sneeky and do not go in to combat in a straight forward manner, like in the game. Samurai have a code and battle opponents head on. Well, what ever the name, it is a good game with some flaws. The gameplay is fun. The game starts out by giving you a story to go along with the gameplay. This gives you a reason to fight. You are a ninja killing other enemies that are on the screen in a shooter style fashion. All those space ship shooting games from this time era has some similarities, but some differences as well. One hit kills your guy, that sucks. One hit kills an enemy, unless it is a boss. These two concepts are classic in shooter games. Some addition are your ability to disappear, enemies attacking you from behind and for ability to run away. The game has some different levels where you a forced forward like in level two and seven. In level two, boulders bounce at you and in level seven, horse run at you. Don't get hit or you are dead. In stage five, you have to stand on logs in a river in a frogger style stage. You can't fall in the water, but you can't dodge attacks to well. Also, there are a varity of enemies, but not a varity of bosses. Some ninjas turn in to rocks, other dart away quikly, other jump at you behind buildings and some have different weapons.In each stage there are red and blue scrolls to be found. There are dropped by enemies. The red scrolls up grade your weapon and changes the music. The blue scrolls makes you fast. You can only have one up grade, which I feel hurts the gameplay. In some levels there is a green scroll. These scrolls, five in all, are used to fight the last boss. If you don't have all five scrolls, you have to go back and start at the level that you missed the first scroll. This makes the game much harder because when I first started to play this game I just wanted to get to the end. I didn't know what the green scrolls were used for. One cool thing about the game is the use of homicide chalk when you kill a person. That is cutting edge when it comes to the violence factor of the game. Remember, the game was produced in 1986. Overall the game is difficult and is challeging. One part that is very hard, almost to hard is when you your enter the castle. Samurai attack you from all sides, if you aren't upgraded to a more powerful weapon, it is near impossible. […] A fun game for its time and a classic if you love ninja games. - www.smstributes.co.uk
