Ninja Spirit
There are seven levels in total, consisting of forests, wastelands, swamps, temples and cliffs. Each level starts with the player making his way to the end, until he faces a boss. The ninja is always armed with the sword Righteous Cloud, with which he can attack fluidly in all directions. Additional weapons include the Whirling Leaf (Shuriken), the Bamboo Thunder (Bombs) and the Rising Dragon (Kusarigama). There are also several powerup items, such as one that unleashes several ninja spirits to assist the player.
