ok i'll make this movie it seems a really short game. i am going the first time to get a feel of it. i got to the end of level 4 in 2 minutes but i found a glitch that got me stuck on the level cause when i touch things / enemies nothing happens (including the rice at the end).. i think the only needed item is the motorbike, so i hit the first chest in the game, get 100 coins and buy the bike on the first shop on level 2.

okkkkkk done in 11:40 mins because i was just route testing, i think this is a 9 mins game. there are 11 levels, no warps and some needed jan ken po games. you need 50 bucks to play jan ken on the first room of level 2 to get the bike. the bike is usefull on levels 2,4,5,6,7 and 8. - level 1 has no bike yet - level 3 is the water level, maybe the bike can be used by jumping on the blocks, but haven't tried. - 9 is climbing a mountain, can't use bike - 10 is a flying level, boring, can only use the helicopter. - 11 is a maze it's the last castle. no room to run. i think what could make this movie interesting is that it actually shows 60% of the game while being as fast as possible. it's a really short game, you would miss items and some secret rooms. also some daring bike moves would make it less repetitive (the bike music is not good at all, and it's on 6 out of 11 levels)

i could use the bike on the whole water level too. just finished level 8 using the skip boss pause glitch. i think it's a glitch, not a cheat so i'm gonna use it. also because it skips 3 useless jankenpo fights. enough of that already. so far only 2 mins and 50 seconds gone. 8 levels in almost 3 mins. and only 3 levels to go. damn short game lol

since this is as quick as mario 1 i'm gonna bring it down to frame perfection on menus, gameplay, everything. that being the first priority i'll try to kill as many enemies as possible on the way, and thirdly destroy as many blocks as possible.

here is how the game looks: level 01 = walk straight forward level 02 = bike level 03 = bike level 04 = bike level 05 = bike level 06 = bike level 07 = bike level 08 = bike level 09 = jump all the way up --> finished this 3 mins and 4 seconds gonna make these levels now: level 10 = helicopter level 11 = castle maze

how to make level 10 entertaining? it's a slow helicopter side scrolling level with enemies coming on straight lines from right to left. you kill them u get bonuses. should i kill them and get as many bonuses as possible? or should i do something like gradius and go up down pretending to ignore them but getting dangerously close to them? or something else?

Go for either 100% kills, pacifist run (0% kills), or an aesthetic run (any% kills with nice tricks). Whatever it takes to get rid of the monotony.

finished. last level took a looooong time it's a bigger maze than i thought. anyways, it's as fast as possible, i tried my best to make it look entertaining. basically, if it looks like it could have been done faster, i tried and it can't. :P

Hey guys have anyone of you played on playstation2 the Shinobi game? my cousin bought the game this summer and played on normal mode and got the final boss and almost got him but never ever completed the final boss. Those of you who have played it can call that Shinobis sword has its own life and takes your life unless you kill some enemies to fead it and it that way you (at least me and my cousin) lost soooo many times + you have to kill 5-6 enemies to set your sword on the ultimate hitlevel (it changes colours depending on how many enemies in a amount of time you kill and lasts for about 6-7 seconds) and that is also highly hard and annoying (my cousin almost threw his playstation away through the window for not completing the final boss etc). I cant imagine anyone here completing that game with hard mode!!

Great movie. There is a shortcut in the beginning of the last level. Do you know it? Or maybe it's just a waste of time..

mhh, check by yourself. At the very beginning, that the helicopter and go up to the sky for 2 screen. There is tresures up there, but you can break the wall and enter the castle. I think you're about 1/4 of the route...

sorry for such a long delay, but i finished the movie now, it's over 30 seconds faster than the previous version. - used the suggested shortcut - improved jumping - uses a "flying punch" glitch once to avoid falling on the last level to skip a lot of brick breaking.
