It is recommended you play with another player to make things a little more manageable, though this guide will still help you if you are playing alone. ========================================= Author's note: This game can be tough, as most old school arcade games can be. This is why I am writing this guide. My goal is to write guides for as many old school games as possible, as I'm an old school gamer myself. ========================================= =========================== WALKTHROUGH =========================== This section will go through the 6 stages of the game. Tips and things to note will be included as you go along throughout the guide. ================================================= ## ### # ## ### # # # # # # # ## # # ### # # ## # # # # # # # # # ## # # # ## ### ### A bunch of enemies will come at you at the same time. You want to start off with some flying kicks, followed up with regular punches to take them out. You'll head up to another section, and will face a trio of jumping enemies. Stay on the ground and take them out with punches. More enemies t hat jump slightly higher. Take them out, then move right and face the next horde. You'll head back down a level, and will have to watch out for flames that pour out from the ground. Take the enemies that come from both the left and the right with sword slashes, and jump attacks, then move right. You'll have a larger enemy to face that runs from the background towards you. Take 'em out, and then follow th arrow to the next section. When the going gets tough, you can change into a different being. The wolf helps out for large hordes. You'll head down another level once the foes have been taken out, and will have to watch out for the flames underground again. Take on the enemies form a distance before they rush you as you make your slow approach right. You'll head up a level again, and will have to take on move sporadically moving enemies. Jump kicks followed by regular punch and kick attacks will fare you well. Be sure to move and evade the strikes from the enemies as you hit them. When you head down a level, the color of the sky will change. You'll have a boss to fight. The boss jumps a lot, but you can use this to your advantage. Always try to move behind him before he lands, then hit him with a couple of attacks until he disappears. One of his attacks to watch for is the one where he throws projectiles at you. Jump over them, or move to another layer of the screen to avoid them. Time your jump kicks as he jumps and you'll be able to catch him in the air. Keep at him, and you'll take him out. ## ### # ## ### ### # # # # # # # # # ### # # ## ### # # # # # # # # ## # # # ## ### ### Sword up and head on to face the enemies. Slash at the tough ones to not give them a change to strike back, then move away before they can retaliate if you find that they deal too much damage to you. Move through and you'll be elevated a level once you've taken out enough enemies. A larger enemy that throws discs at you will appear. Take it out with jump kicks, and head to the lower level to continue to kick some behind. Remember to change forms if you're taking a beating. Head right and take on the rest of the enemies leading up to your next elevation. Jump kick and dodge the large turtles at they can do some damage, and then move on, where you'll move to another level. Take on the horde, but prioritize preserving health. There will be a large enemy on a cloud that you should jump kick. When he's done for, head down the next level, and take on the next batch. Be careful when fighting the guys with swords, as they can take chunks off your life. Jump over them to disorient them, then attack and don't relent. Head right and face the next few foes. You'll now be up against a boss. This boss also jumps around, but you should be able to get a bunch of hits in whenever she comes down. Deal enough damage, and she'll turn into a foul beast. Keep on the offensive, and watch for the electric roar, and charge attacks. Other than that, keep landing more hits than the opponent lands on you, and you'll have completed the stage. ## ### # ## ### ### # # # # # # # # # ### # # ## ## # # # # # # # # ## # # # ## ### ### Take on the initial enemies, and watch for the fire. Keep attacking them, and be sure to keep an eye on the edges of the screen. Take them on as soon as they appear to prevent them from getting too close, or attacking you first. Be careful with the sword enemies. Jump kick them to force an opening, and when they're done for, you'll be elevated a level. Relentlessly jump kick the large enemy to take him out quickly, and move right while taking on the minions. Head back down, and you'll be in some sort of cave. Change form for the enemies here, and fight them. Be sure to incorporate dodging in your assaults to prevent taking too much damage You're going to need the health. Head right, and there will be a large number of enemies coming at you at once. Take them out and move right for the smaller enemies. You'll head up after a while, and should use projectiles against the jumping enemies. Jump kicking is an effective alternative, but you'll want to also switch to a powerful form for when more of them show up. You'll head down a level for the boss. For this boss, don't let him land his slash attack, and his slash projectile attack. He jumps as well, but you can stop him mid air if you attack him just right after he jumps. This allows for some easy hits. When he does jump through, though, wait on the other side to catch him with attacks. Jump slashing occasionally sometimes prevents you from getting hit with his swipe projectile attack. ## ### # ## ### # # # # # # # # # # # # ### # # ## ### # # # # # # # # ## # # # ## ### # You'll have more enemies to face in this new area. They like to jump, the initial ones, so you'll want to jump kick back. The slightly more difficult sword slashing enemies will also face you. Once you've taken them out, you'll head down a level to face some more of them. The weapon wielding enemies are typically the ones you want to avoid taking the most damage from by dodging and jumping away. Switch forms when you come to the femme fatales, and once you've dealt with them, you'll head up to face the previous beast form of the past boss. As you've defeated it once before, this time you should still have a grasp on how to take this foe out. Hitting the enemy enough will make it disintegrate into smaller little pups. They aren't too menacing, though. Keep moving until you go down a level. More sword guys here. Jump kick them, and head right to take in the fresh air. Take on the foot soldiers. They shouldn't be too difficult, but right after them will be some sword wielders. These guys aren't the same as the more powerful version, though, so there shouldn't be too much trouble. Don't let up as you attack the enemies up. When you head back down, you'll have turtles to face. There are a few of them to take out, but they go down quick if you don't let them hit you. Head back up, and take out the other enemies there. Regular punch/kicks and jump kicks will do. Be sure to dash and evade when there are too many of them on the screen at once. More enemies will come at you as you move to the next section, but you're closing in on the boss. When you finally do get to the boss, either impale him with jump kicks, or switch to a form with projectiles and keep attacking. The boss takes a few hits when he tries to slash you, as the attack can easily be avoided, and retaliated with jump kicks. This boss is not too difficult, so you'll want to find opportunities to keep hitting the boss, to prevent him from hitting you back. Times like these are right before hie jumps, and after he slashes at you. ## ### # ## ### ### # # # # # # # # # ### # # ## ### # # # # # # # # ## # # # ## ### ### Though not difficult on their own, a lot of enemies will come rushing at you, and their numbers can get overwhelming. You'll want to hit more than one of them at a time, until you get to the larger enemy to the right. Take him out, and you'll have lesser enemies to face before you're transported upwards to the next section. A ground of armored sword guys will make your acquaintance. Using projectiles here is very effective as you can take on enemies from the right or left without having to get too close to them. Keeping your distance is a good way to prevent taking damage. Continue to take out the enemies on the edges before they can fully show their faces to hurry through to the next few sections. Underground, you'll have some plump adversaries, followed by two large enemies. They rush from right to left, but can be taken down with quick attacks, followed by dodges or jump kicks. Head on and slash through the enemies in the next section, and again: when you find yourself taking too much damage, or there are a little too many enemies on screen you should change forms. The wolf form works here. Head right, eliminating all of the enemies, including the couple of sword guys, and you should slowly be nearing the boss. Destroy the female enemies, and then the group of jumping enemies, and you'll soon drop down to another section. You're closing in on the final boss, so try not to take much damage from the minions. You'll have a few of them to take out, followed by the strong sword enemies. Slash em through with the samurai form if possible, and then take out the rapidly jumping next batch of enemies. You'll head up towards another section. You'll have a boss party to handle here. A large dragon turtle boss will stand before you. Though it moves slow, it spits fire at you that can seriously dent you. Slash at the shell, and jump kick the head to take it out. You're nearing the end of the game once you fell this boss. ## ### # ## ### ### # # # # # # # # # ### # # ## ### # # # # # # # # # ## # # # ## ### ### This is it; the final boss. You'll be equipped with a sweet sword, and the battle will be taken airborne. Slash relentlessly at the enemy while he tries to slash you back. Deal enough damage, and he'll change forms. Watch for the fire balls as you continue to slash at him. Keep at it, and his health will dwindle rapidly. Keep hitting the boss with all you've got, and he'll be out of the picture shortly.
