How to Play
Your goal is to guide Ryu Hayabusa through side-scrolling stages, defeating enemies and overcoming platforming challenges to reach the end of each level. You move with the directional pad, jump to avoid pits and enemies, and attack with your sword. You can also collect power-ups and use special ninja techniques, such as throwing shurikens or performing a climbing maneuver to scale walls. A key strategy is to learn enemy patterns and time your attacks carefully, as you have limited health. In the early stages, focus on mastering the basic jump and attack rhythm. As you progress, you will encounter more complex platforming sections and tougher bosses that require precise movement and quick reactions. During tense moments, such as boss fights, prioritize dodging attacks and striking during openings.
