Blade-Shield Tip
When Yae uses her blade-shield, she normally can't move. However, if
you have the armour or shield and receive damage from an enemy when using the blade-shield,
you can move.
Boss Mode
If you collect all 45 of the Fortune Dolls throughout the game, it will
unlock a special boss mode under the options section.
Easy Money
If you find a room with a lot of gold (or pots with gold) such as the
first room in Oedo Castle walk into the room and get the gold. Then leave and come
back in and -- surprise! All of the gold is right back where it was!
You can do this as many times as you want and stack up on cash.
Fall Without Pausing
When falling from great distances in Mystical Ninja you will hit the
ground and pause getting up. To avoid this, press the WEAPON button before hitting
the ground and you'll be free to move as soon as you land.
Faster Ladder Climbing
To climb a ladder faster, press A rapidly to jump up the ladder. But
be careful! If you don't watch how high you are, you can jump right off the top
of the ladder and fall.
Golden Hair
While using Goemon's touch-and-go skills, get killed by an enemy (if
you have more than one life.) If you do this, you will come to life again with golden
hair. However, if you want to change the character, you can't change the hair color.
Move Impact's Head
At the end of the Impact's intro sequence, when the red and yellow stripes
are spinning behind Impact, you can move Impact's head by pushing the analogue stick
in any direction.
Move While using Weapon
When you use your weapon you can't move, but if you start to move and
while still moving you can press the attack button you can then move!
Ninjitsu 360° Blade Slash
Rapidly rotate the control stick in a 360° motion while rapidly taping
the B button. This produces a Ninjitsu 360° Blade Slash that will kill all the enemies
around you.
Rumble Pack
Even though the game wasn't made for the rumble pack it will work on
the boss stages.
