While doing so, you have to fight ninjas to fill up your star meter. The more stars you receive, the more game features you unlock. Here's the full story: Shao Ting, a person claiming to be "The Best Director in the World", is compiling a movie. Here is his script so far: Our hero (you) is waiting patiently for his blind date at a tavern. Suddenly, a clan of ninjas attack! The hero fights all of the ninjas, but while doing so, the fight destroys the tavern, and gets into a showdown with the tavern's owner. Afterwards, the hero finds out that his blind date was a princess - and that the clan of ninjas kidnapped her and they want money! Not only that, but the police are after the hero for destroying the tavern... The hero is somewhat penniless, so he blindly ventures into the forest to rescue the lovely princess. While fighting even more enemies, he defeats the Boss of the Ninja Fortress, and succeeds in his mission - the princess is safe! Still penniless, the hero hears about a tomb full of gold. He explores the tomb and "borrows" the gold so that he can pay the police to leave him alone. But instead of doing this, he travels to the west on a ship to search for peace, quiet, and fast cars. While on the boat, the ninja clan try to have another go at the hero, for "borrowing" the gold from the tomb - another fight to the finish. The fight on the ship leads the ship onto an iceberg, so the hero fights for the last lifeboat before the ship sinks. He rows the lifeboat onto an island, where he soon finds out it is inhabited by a dinosaur. The hero makes a raft to escape from the island, but ninja clan attacks AGAIN! Sheesh! Anyway, the exhausted hero makes it to the big city in one piece. Now to another change of scenery, the big city, the hero gets bombarded with even more enemies. During this, UFOs attack! The aliens join in the attack by firing a death ray at the hero and the ninja clan. When it's over, the hero defeats the ninja clan and saves the world! Wow - a jam-packed movie with comedy, action, romance, and totally full of randomness. What a great movie! =========================================================================== 2) VERSION HISTORY --- kw_upd =========================================================================== Version 0.80 -- February 27, 2004 Added all of the sections, got up to Xui Tan Sour's biography and Chop & Styx's miniseries for their respective sections. Added levels 1-18 for the Ninja Challenge. Version 1.00 -- March 24, 2004 Been busy today :) Renamed two sections, completed the cast biographies and the Ninja Challenge walkthrough, added two enemies (the Hopping Vampires and Flying Ninjas), plus updated the Miniseries up to Captain Won Ton's set. Version 1.10 -- April 10, 2004 Ugh... sorry about the lack of updates, I'm really busy with other stuff at the moment. I'll try to keep future updates daily, not monthly. >_> Anyway, Happy Easter if you're reading this right away. Completed the Miniseries, and changed the controls section a bit and added the different configuration controls. Version 1.20 -- July 16, 2004 Oh look, another monthly update. So much for my little self-note from the last version. Anyway, in this version I changed the Table of Contents and put in some keywords so that you can use the CTRL+F feature to your advantage. Also changed by email address, and changed the copyright notice. Version 1.25 – May 4, 2008 Updated my email address, as well as the contact information section. =========================================================================== 3) CONTACT INFORMATION --- kw_con =========================================================================== Please note that I am no longer accepting emails regarding this FAQ - I will not respond to any emails concerning subjects such as guide corrections, suggestions, or help for this particular game. If you need to contact me for any other reason (eg. alerting me of an unauthorized website hosting this guide) then you may do so at faqs.ra@gmail.com. =========================================================================== 4) BASIC INFORMATION --- kw_bas =========================================================================== --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONTROLS --- ss_dir --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -=== MENU CONTROLS === LEFT THUMBSTICK - Highlight a menu option DIRECTIONAL PAD - Highlight a menu option A BUTTON - Select an option B BUTTON - Go to the previous screen X BUTTON - [not used] Y BUTTON - [not used] -=== COMBAT CONTROLS ===- |-----------------------------------------------------| | CONFIG.

Also, you can change the control configuration setting by going (from the Main Menu) to GAME OPTIONS > CONTROLLER. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- MODES OF PLAY --- ss_mod --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -=== NINJA CHALLENGE ===- Venture through the main mode, Ninja Challenge, and complete a series of mini-games to unlock other mini-games - do all this to make Shao Ting's jam- packed movie. -=== BATTLE GAME ===- Choose this option to have a fun free for all or team play game on the set of your choice. Win 3 mini games to win the whole battle game. There are 5 ways to have a battle game: Lives - This is the default setting. You all start off with lives; the person with the most lives at the end of the game wins. Kills - The person who kills the most people wins. You get one point for each person you kill. Mojo - One of my most favourite ways to play; the first player to kill someone gets the mojo (the person with the mojo has golden light swirling around them). Kill the person with the mojo to receive it. For every second that you have the mojo, you will receive one point. If the player with the mojo dies by his/herself (for example, falls into the water), the mojo is reset (not your points). Style - Pull of cool moves to receive points. The better the move, the more points you will get. The player with the most points in the end wins. -=== CHAMPIONSHIP ===- Fight on 12 rounds of different mini-games. There are three sets of scenes here: Scene 1 - Play on a main feature mini-game. Get 1st place = 5pts, 2nd place = 3pts, 3rd place = 1pt. Scene 2 - The winner plays a short film mini-game alone to gain/lose lives for scene 3. Scene 3 - Play on a short film mini-game. The scores are: 1st place = 3pts, 2nd place = 1pt. -=== MINISERIES ===- Unlock this mode of play by doing well on Ninja Challenge mode. Once you start this mode, choose a character then select one of the three mini-games from the menu. Complete all three mini-games to unlock your character's biography! -=== FREESTYLE ===- Spar for a set amount of time with a CPU player or up to three friends in an open arena. Practice your moves here. -=== REHEARSAL ===- Learn the basic and advanced Kung Fu moves with the 10 provided lessons in this mode. =========================================================================== 5) CHARACTER INFORMATION --- kw_cha =========================================================================== --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CAST BIOGRAPHIES --- ss_cas --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here they are, each of the characters' biographies. Besides those, I've added a small section within the biographies that gives more info about that character - their martial art style, outfits, and SOME BASIC ATTACKS. Note that I have only added the "basic" heavy attacks of the characters. By this, I mean that when you do a combo and use a heavy attack at the end of it, you get a different heavy attack. The heavy attacks I've described here are ones that you get when you use them alone. ** MASTER SHO-YU AGE: 66 BORN: Year of the Dragon SIGN: Leo HOBBIES: Meditation, spirituality, finding the meaning of life MOST VALUABLE WORLDLY POSSESSION: Nothingness FILM HISTORY: Sho-Yu is best known for his supporting roles in "Limping Spider" and "Something Exciting 2: Revenge of Something Exciting", which contained twice as many severed limbs, decapitations, and sprained ankles as the original; he also starred in "Where Am I, Are You?", "Thoughtful Fists", and "Staring Contest Battle", a commercial failure that still sparks some interest at experimental film festivals and features Sho-Yu staring into the camera for 74 minutes before finally blinking... audience members able to out-stare Master were given free buttered popcorn and eye drops. _________________________________________________________________________ | OTHER NOTES | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | MARTIAL ART STYLE - Agile Panda | | SPECIAL MOVE - Flaming Orbs of Righteousness: | | Red/orange orbs come out of his hands and hit | | enemies.

In "The Nun and the Ninja", a renegade nun attempts to steal the Great Sceptre of Saltama to give to charity, and Ninja is there to stop her pettiness. In "Did Someone Order a Ninja", Ninja Fu Hiya takes on tax evaders, jaywalkers, and a gang of mattress tag rippers, and in "Ninja-in-Law", marriage into a family of ninjas proves that Ninja can juggle work and family in this heart-warming holiday film. _________________________________________________________________________ | OTHER NOTES | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | MARTIAL ART STYLE - Studied Silence | | SPECIAL MOVE - Invincible Star of Destruction: | | Ninja Fu Hiya rises just above the ground, and | | repeatedly punches in the direction he is facing. | | With each punch, stars come out of his fists.

The knives return to | | Ninja Fu Hiya like boomerangs and catches both of them. | |_________________________________________________________________________| ** MONKEY AGE: 1,000+ years BORN: Year of Himself SIGN: Monkey HOBBIES: Trickery, magic, picking bus off nether regions MOST VALUABLE WORLDY POSSESSION: Magical staff LIFE HISTORY: An infinity ago, the Mountain God invited all the creatures of the animal kingdom to a fabulous feast. When only 11 animals and Monkey showed up, the god rewarded the animals who attended by naming a year after each one. Monkey got drunk and urinated on the god's favorite tablecloth. The god was incensed and made Monkey immortal, giving him "plenty of time to think about" what he had done. FILM HISTORY: Monkey appeared one day on the set of the early Ting experimental short "Un Singe Andalusia". Although up until that point Ting had not been using any live actors whatsoever (early cuts of the film consisted entirely of muddy puddles drying to dust in the sun), Ting took the arrival of Monkey as an omen and wrote him into the script. Monkey has since been an integral element of Ting's cinematic symbology. _________________________________________________________________________ | OTHER NOTES | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | MARTIAL ART STYLE - Mad Monkey Kung Fu | | SPECIAL MOVE - Thunderbolt of Immortality: | | As Monkey's rod extends, he climbs on top of it. | | Then, his rod continuously fires thunderbolts on | | the ground or enemies.

Afterwards, Monkey pushes | | the enemy with his feet and the enemy becomes dizzy. | | | | Spin Attack: Holds his rod above his head and spins it around himself. | | | | Running Attack: Monkey does a headstand while moving towards enemies | | which knocks them out, and finishes in a roll on the ground. | | | | Heavy Attack: Does a move with his furry little hands then brings out | | his rod, which he uses to jab the enemy - or rather, push the enemy – | | to knock them out. | |_________________________________________________________________________| ** CHOP & STYX AGE: 50 and 2 BORN: Year of the Rabbit (both) SIGN: Capricorn (both) HOBBIES: Practicing the ancient art of Bloodless Limb Removal MOST VALUABLE WORLDY POSSESSION: His son, his dad FILM HISTORY: A veteran of samurai cinema, Chop starred in legendary Japanese films including "Your Funerals", "Dying by Death", "Bleeding Wound Makes Happy", and "Angry Respect", for which he won critical acclaim as a film critic who takes to dismembering the work of directors he does not like. Like many actors, Chop has taken his share of commercial work to pay the bills, including ads for Sugar High Energy Drink ("Drink it!") and Yokai Bowl of Noodles ("Slurp it!"). _________________________________________________________________________ | OTHER NOTES | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | MARTIAL ART STYLE - Iron Destiny | | SPECIAL MOVE - Winged Howl of Youth: | | Styx opens his mouth really wide and cries as Chop | | covers his ears.

Then, with the enemy on the sword, he throws the enemy over his | | shoulder. | | | | Spin Attack: Holds his sword out with both hands and spins. | | | | Running Attack: Crouches slightly while running and using his sword in | | a rough 8 figure formation, then ends with a spin. | | | | Heavy Attack: With both hands, Chop draws out his sword and uses it to | | make a circle in front of him, then quickly pulls his sword downwards. | |_________________________________________________________________________| ** XUI TAN SOUR AGE: 16 BORN: Year of the Rooster SIGN: Gemini HOBBIES: Plotting revenge MOST VALUABLE WORLDY POSSESSION: Her fans FILM HISTORY: Raised by her father, patriarch of the touring Circus of Sharp and Steel, Xui Tan became a highly respected acrobat, fighting expert and contortionist, drawing massive crowds everywhere. Circus life for Xui ended tragically the day the midget elephant of rival circus company Fun Tent Wonderful trampled her entire family and pets to death. Xui moved into film acting purely to finance her grim resolve to seek revenge on those who killed her family. In the critically acclaimed gender-bender "Food Big Fight", Xui Tan plays I-Fu-Yu, a teenage boy who single-handedly saves the family restaurant while coming to grips with his/her own puberty. _________________________________________________________________________ | OTHER NOTES | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | MARTIAL ART STYLE - Vengeful Charity | | SPECIAL MOVE - Blades of Fanatical Vengeance: | | Two sets of blades come out each of her fans and | | slice through enemies. Cannot be dodged. | | | | OUTFIT 1: A pink suit with a fan in each of her hands. Also, there is a | | a hat (at least I think it's a hat, but it looks like a shield) tied to | | Xui's back. | | | | OUTFIT 2: An orange suit that covers her whole body. | | | | -=== ATTACKS ===- | | | | Trip: Sort of like Monkey's trip attack, but the difference is that Xui | | doesn't kiss her enemies. She does a forward somersault and her feet | | land on her enemy's shoulders, then she crouches forward to slash the | | enemy's face with her fans. | | | | Spin Attack: Xui spins on one foot with both of her arms and fans | | spread out. | | | | Running Attack: Does a cartwheel and follows up with a series of | | somersaults that knock the enemies out. Ends with a single somersault | | in the air and lands safely on the ground. | | | | Heavy Attack: Spins and jumps at the same time. As Xui lands, she | | throws both of her fans in front of her. They come back to her like | | boomerangs. | |_________________________________________________________________________| ** LUCY CANNON AGE: 28 BORN: Year of the Horse SIGN: Libra HOBBIES: Kicking butt, taking names, sorting names for future butt-kicking made easy. MOST VALUABLE WORLDLY POSSESSION: Babydoll (her shotgun) FILM HISTORY: Cannon has appeared in action classics such as "This Town Ain't Big Enough for the Both of These", "Nice I Ain't", and "Bustin' Outta Everything", an acclaimed women's prison movie in which Cannon organizes a group of inmates to put on a production of "Everybody Escape during the Second Act" and escapes in the process. Cannon finally hit big with recent film "Stacked" and "Stacked 2: Double Stacked", in which she stars as Lieutenant Anita Stack, an officer who must "rewrite the law to make justice legible to the illiterate. _________________________________________________________________________ | OTHER NOTES | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | MARTIAL ART STYLE - Busta Chop | | SPECIAL MOVE - The Mowdown Sound: | | Lucy charges up for a second, then her shotgun | | becomes loose - it repeatedly fires three bullets | | at a time, which guarantees that you won't miss | | when aiming for an enemy. This attack needs to be | | directed. | | | | OUTFIT 1: Light purple fur coat with a black suit underneath. Also with | | black sunglasses and purple/brown shoes. | | | | OUTFIT 2: Brown fur coat with a greyish suit underneath, black | | sunglasses, and grey/brown shoes. | | | | -=== ATTACKS ===- | | | | Trip: Lucy grabs an enemy by their shoulders, then headbutts them. She | | ends her trip by kneeing the enemy in their stomach just before they | | fall to the ground. | | | | Spin Attack: Jumps and spins on one foot with her shotgun held out. | | | | Running Attack: Lucy jumps and continuously kicks each enemy while in | | the air. Each kick allows her to stay in the air for another couple of | | seconds; she finishes her running attack with a somersault. | | | | Heavy Attack: Lucy loads up her shotgun and shoots once in the | | direction she's facing. Sort of like her special attack, only this | | doesn't instantly kill enemies. | |_________________________________________________________________________| ** CANDI ROLL AGE: 22 BORN: Year of the Rabbit SIGN: Aquarius HOBBIES: Roller-dating, schmoozing, yo-yo-ing MOST VALUABLE WORDLY POSSESSION: Yo-yos, rollerskates, little black book. FILM HISTORY: Candi has been an actress since the tender age of five when she starred in "Tiny Tammy and the Magic Mushroom", in which Tammy (Candi) wanders into the garden of the local neighbourhood hippy. Her most recent feature, "Sorority Slaughterhouse", in which roommates become possessed when wearing a haunted t-shirt that has inexplicable powers of perpetual dampness, was marred by production complications and was never released. Candi also starred in several exercise and self-help videos including the hugely successful "Hissyfitness: Anger Management and Shapely Abs". _________________________________________________________________________ | OTHER NOTES | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | MARTIAL ART STYLE - Kitten's Cradle of Fortitude | | SPECIAL MOVE - The Pink Tornado: | | Candi goes round and round on her skates, then she | | turns into a pink tornado. The tornado sucks up any | | enemies and spits them out and off the screen. You | | don't have to direct this attack, but if you do, | | enemies will be killed faster. | | | | OUTFIT 1: Pink and white top, pink mini-skirt, pink and white | | rollerskates, and two pink and white yo-yos. That's alot of pink and | | white. >_> | | | | OUTFIT 2: Blue and white suit with green/brownish rollerskates. | | | | -=== ATTACKS ===- | | | | Trip: Candi sends out both of her yo-yos towards an enemy, which wrap | | themselves around the enemy's wrists. Then Candi jumps over the enemy; | | as she does so they fall to the ground and become dizzy. | | | | Spin Attack: Candi sets her legs wide apart and her yo-yos around her | | as she spins. | | | | Running Attack: Truly one of the weirdest running attacks in the game. | | First, she jumps while sending out one of her yo-yos in front of her. | | Then, with that yo-yo still in front of her, she turns upside down | | with a foot on the ground. That yo-yo then comes back to her and she | | sends out the other yo-yo towards the enemies, then does the same thing | | to the other yo-yo. Candi repeats this a couple of times before jumping | | back to her normal position. | | | | Heavy Attack: Candi does a quick spin before returning to the neutral | | position, and leans back. She then quickly leans forward to fire both | | yo-yos simultaneously. | |_________________________________________________________________________| ** CAPTAIN WON TON AGE: 35 BORN: Year of the Ox SIGN: Cancer HOBBIES: Eating, babysitting, watching TV, wrestling MOST VALUABLE WORLDY POSSESSION: Cape. FILM HISTORY: Captain Won Ton's only feature role to date has been an action movie shot in the snowy mountains of Spain, in which he starred as himself in "Captain Won Ton Versus Langosta-Hobre", in which Ton must defeat his rival or be pinched mercilessly for eternity. Television appearances include being a special guest on "The Euphoria Emporium Bambino Hour" and as "cadaver" in the popular true-crime show "Mortifo". Captain Won Ton is a common and popular face on television commercials, including being the spokesman for Mosta- Costa Ultra Detergent ("Bringing dirt to justice!"). _________________________________________________________________________ | OTHER NOTES | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | MARTIAL ART STYLE - Los Carnes Muertos | | SPECIAL MOVE - Shadow of the Shaking Rump: | | Captain Won Ton bounces all over the place on his | | bottom, squashing everyone. If he bounces right | | next to someone, they will become dizzy. If he | | bounces right on top of someone, they will get | | instantly knocked out. This attack must be | | directed. | | | | OUTFIT 1: A blue and white wrestling suit with blue shoes. | | | | OUTFIT 2: This is a United Kingdom-themed outfit. Red, blue, and white | | suit, red shoes, and a cape with the UK flag on it. | | | | -=== ATTACKS ===- | | | | Trip: Captain WT sort of "slides" his way towards the enemy's head as | | they fall to the ground. As soon as the enemy is on the ground, Captain | | will sit on his head (the enemy's head, not his) and "makes himself | | comfortable" there. Afterwards, he'll stand up and the enemy would have | | become dizzy. | | | | Spin Attack: Launches himself horizontally for a few seconds into the | | air as he uses his whole body to spin around. | | | | Running Attack: The Captain rolls along the ground while knocking out | | enemies. | | | | Heavy Attack: Winds up his left arm, then thrusts forward with his arm | | outstretched. | |_________________________________________________________________________| ** SHAO TING AGE: Mid-life crisis BORN: Year of the Rat SIGN: Virgo HOBBIES: Criticizing others, therapy, womanizing. MOST VALUABLE WORLDLY POSSESSION: The Wandering Eye Film Award for "Best Subtitle Color Selection".

The symbols hit the other | | players, and they will shrink and disappear. This | | attack must be directed. | | | | OUTFIT 1: A yellow zipped suit with a red megaphone. | | | | OUTFIT 2: A black zipped suit with a yellow megaphone. It seems that | | this outfit cannot be unlocked. | | | | -=== ATTACKS ===- | | | | Trip: Shou Ting makes his way towards the enemy's face by "walking" up | | the enemy as they fall to the ground. As soon as the enemy hits the | | ground, Shao will stand on the enemy's head which will make them dizzy. | | | | Spin Attack: Holds his megaphone out while spinning. | | | | Running Attack: Shao swings his megaphone at his side while running | | towards opponents. | | | | Heavy Attack: Shouts into his megaphone, which turns his voice into a | | red wave of sound. This hits whatever Shao is facing. | |_________________________________________________________________________| --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENEMIES --- ss_ene --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The enemies here are listed from weakest to strongest. Not all of the enemies are listed here; there are other enemies such as seals and zombies that are in the game. DARK NINJA These guys wear plain black suits. They have the least health out of all of the enemies, and are very easy to beat. YELLOW FIST NINJA A very common enemy; they wear yellow and black suits. Easy to beat. BLOOD NINJA These guys wear red suits. They like to block a lot of your attacks, so try a heavy attack on them. TWIN MOON NINJA Make sure to counter or run away from Twin Moon Ninjas when they throw their Moon Rings at you. They usually attack in groups of 2-5. WHIRLWIND NINJA Whirlwind Ninjas continuously spin around. Wait until they get dizzy, and take that opportunity to hit them before they can spin again. You cannot hit Whirlwind Ninjas while they are spinning; they will just hit you with their spikes. BLIND FURY NINJA One of the 'best' enemies in the game, but for some reason, they're blindfolded. GREAT WHITE NINJA The ultimate enemy. Fortunately, GW Ninjas usually fight by themselves, not in groups. -=== OTHER ENEMIES ===- HOPPING VAMPIRE These vampires only appear in levels 12 & 13, "Night of the Living Fog" and "Tomb Robber". If you get any close to them, they'll instantly kill you. The only way to kill them is to throw something at them. FLYING NINJA Flying Ninjas only appear in level 7, "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Princess". They get shot out of ninja cannons and towards a certain target. Most of them can be dodged with ease. =========================================================================== 6) ATTACK COMBINATIONS --- kw_ata =========================================================================== There are a few attack combinations that you should know when playing the game. These attacks are somewhat effective, but most of the time enemies can recover quickly from them. ** BLOCKING Okay, so it's not an attack - but it's an essential part of the game. If an enemy continuously attacks you, block their attacks by pressing the Right Trigger. If you are blocking and your enemy glows red, your block will not work because that enemy is either using a heavy attack or trying to trip you over (or trying to use a Super Attack). ** TRIP/PICK UP/THROW If an enemy continuously blocks, try to trip them up by pressing the B button. Once you've tripped up an enemy, they will fall to the ground and become dizzy. Press B again to pick them up and throw them in the direction of your choice. ** SPIN ATTACK If there is ever a situation where there's a crowd of enemies that's surrounding you, use the spin attack (Y+B) to get a little breathing room. The spin attack is very weak. ** RUNNING ATTACK Run briefly, then press Y+B to use your running attack. Enemies will be knocked down on their feet for a short time. Use this attack on a large crowd of enemies. ** JUMP KICK Press A to jump, then press X while in the air to perform a jump kick. ** HEAVY ATTACK Press A+X to use your heavy attack. Only use heavy attacks from afar; if you use it up close to an enemy they will counter attack you. Heavy attacks are very powerful, but their wind-up is slow. ** RAPID-FIRE COMBO This is probably one of the most simplest (yet effective) combos. Press X repeatedly three times to use your rapid-fire combo. Enemies can easily block this combo and counter it. ** TAUNTING/SUPER ATTACK When you knock down an enemy, instantly press the Left Trigger to taunt that enemy. Expletive symbols will come out of your mouth, which will hit the downed enemy and give you a single glowing ball. The glowing ball will hover above your head as you move around. Once you get three glowing balls above your head, your character will glow a certain color. This means that you can unleash your super attack; press the Left and Right Trigger together to use it. Some Super Attacks require you to direct them, while others work by themselves. Here are some more attack combinations: _________________________________________________________________________ | 2 HIT COMBINATIONS | 3 HIT COMBINATIONS | 4 HIT COMBINATIONS | |------------------------+------------------------+-----------------------| | Y, B | X, X, B | X, X, Y, B | | Y, X | X, X, Y+B | X, X, Y, X | | Y, X+A | X, Y, X | X, X, X, B | | Y, Y+B | X, Y, B | X, X, X, Y | | X, Y | X, Y, X+A | X, X, Y, Y+B | | | X, Y, Y+B | X, X, Y, X+A | | | Y, X, B | X, X, X, Y+B | | | Y, X, Y | X, X, X, X+A | | | Y, X, Y+B | | | | Y, X, X+A | | |________________________|________________________|_______________________| =========================================================================== 7) NINJA CHALLENGE WALKTHROUGH --- kw_nin =========================================================================== This is the section where I describe the mini-games in Ninja Challenge mode. Obviously I can't guide anyone through the whole thing describing which exact enemies you'll encounter (because it is possible to encounter different enemies), so I'll just say where you have to go (such as going the right way when something collapses). You should know what I mean when you play the game. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 - RIOT ON THE SET - Passing Stars: 3 - Boss: None This is an easy, standard level. You fight on an open stage, and enemies will appear on the centre of it. If there are weak enemies, just kill them. However, if there is a stronger enemy with a lot of health, you might want to attack them until they fall to the ground and become dizzy. Once this has happened, throw them off the stage (which will instantly kill them). Use this technique with most of the levels if you can. 2 - THE WAY OF THE BASIC COMBO - Passing Stars: None - Boss: None This level is one of those practice ones from Rehearsal Mode. A wooden dummy will appear on the set, with a button hovering above it - this is the button you have to press to destroy the dummy. Destroy all 15 dummies with the correct attack combos, and proceed to the next level. 3 - LEGEND OF THE DRUNKEN BASTARDS - Passing Stars: 3 - Boss: Xui Tan Sour When you first start this level, you will be in a small area with a couple of tables. Kill the easy ninjas here. After a while, the set will collapse, and you will fall onto a bigger set with some stairs in the centre. Try to stay on the front half of the set because you can throw off any downed enemies off the stage there, and the back half of the set will collapse. A few more seconds, and a red arrow will appear, signalling you to jump on a moving boat - do so. The boat is on a narrow river, so you can throw any enemies off it and into the river. After a while, your boat will sink and another red arrow will appear, signalling you to jump onto a smaller boat with a few watermelons in it. Try to stay on the roof of this small boat because of the wider space. Some police in another boat will crash into your one, which will sink. Ahead of you, you should see some canopies moving into a horizontal position; use these as stairs and jump your way up to a round wooden area before you drown. The wooden area will continuously move, and eventually it will hit something. This will take you to what looks like a dock area - lots of things to throw around here. Keep on moving to the right, where there should be a small raft. Xui Tan Sour will be on the raft; defeat her and hopefully you would have passed the 3 stars mark. If she kills you, you will lose two stars from your star meter. 4 - A FEW GOOD STUNTMEN - Passing Stars: 3 - Boss: None A fight has just broken out from the upstairs room of a tavern. Stuntmen are falling from the room; bounce them to safety with your character's miniature trampoline thingy! But for some reason, cows are falling out of the room too. Avoid them, or your character will get squashed, losing precious time! Bounce 40 stuntmen to receive 3 stars, and 65 stuntmen for 5 stars. 5 - WATERWHIRL - Passing Stars: 3 - Boss: None You and three enemies are positioned around a rotating pole, which is right in the centre of the set. When the pole rotates your direction, quickly jump over it or spin it the other direction (Y+B), otherwise it will knock you into the water! The pole will eventually knock out the other ninjas, and this will fill up your star meter. The more ninjas knocked down the more stars you get, so try to get the pole rotating at hectic speeds! 6 - THE WAY OF THE TERRIBLE TAUNT - Passing Stars: None - Boss: None And yet another level from Rehearsal Mode; this one teaches you about taunting and such. Knock down the enemy and when he is dizzy, pull the Left Trigger to taunt. Nothing that should be new to you; taunt him 3 times, use your super attack, repeat. Done. 7 - THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY PRINCESS - Passing Stars: 3 - Boss: Ninja Fu Hiya At the start of the level, you will be on what looks like a wooden platform, suspended high in the air. If you look at the background, some small black holes will be there in a horizontal formation; these are ninja cannons. The cannons will fire ninjas at the wooden platform, so try to dodge them or they'll hit you and you'll fall off. About 30 seconds more of playing, the wooden gate to the right of the screen will open. Keep on moving to the right, through a small 'hut' with small holes in it (spikes will come out of those holes), and onto a square platform. The square platform will eventually collapse, so move onto another wooden platform. Green ninjas with shields will drop down onto the left side of the platform, and they will continuously push you to the right end of it. This end has another area where spikes come out of it, but this time, the will go back into the ground so you can pass through. After that, you will have to jump to a medium-sized hut, with some closed doors at the back of it. Throw the boxes that should be around you at the door to make it open before the one-minute time limit is up, otherwise you will not be able to finish the rest of this level. If you _did_ manage to open the door, you will enter a large room with some pipes. These pipes will emit a poisonous green gas; try to avoid the gas by making your way up the platforms that are next to the wall. Keep on doing this until you come across yet another wooden platform, but this time there is a cage on it with the princess inside the cage. This wooden platform is where you will fight Ninja Fu Hiya; he isn't that hard. Whenever you knock him out, throw him into the poisonous gas below to take a chunk out of his health. 8 - TO CATCH A PRINCESS - Passing Stars: 3 - Boss: None You are situated on a platform high above the ground, with the princess in front of you. Your mission here is to knock the green ninjas off the platform by picking up/throwing the princess at them. The ninjas will follow you around, and if they get too close to you, they will knock YOU off the platform. Knock 16 ninjas out for 3 stars, and 25 ninjas for 5 stars. 9 - FOUR POLES AND A PRINCESS - Passing Stars: 3 - Boss: None You and three other ninjas are situated on a small square platform, and like the last level, you job here is to knock the ninjas off their platforms by throwing the princess at them. This time, the ninjas can actually catch the princess and throw her back at you, so try to catch her if this happens. Here's a tip: try to catch a ninja off guard. For example, if a ninja throws the princess back at you, instantly catch her and throw her at another ninja. Also, if you have the princess, make sure not to hold her for too long. She will kick you and you will fall off your platform. 10 - THE WAY OF THE SWIFT STRIKE - Passing Stars: None - Boss: None This practice level teaches you about countering while an enemy is attacking. Pull the right trigger to block the enemy's attacks, then quickly counter attack before he finishes his attack combination. Counter his attacks 3 times and proceed to the next level. 11 - LIGHTS! CAMERA! ATTACK! - Passing Stars: 3 - Boss: None This level is just like the first one, except that this level has tougher enemies. Like before, try to knock out the enemy and throw them off the stage for a quick kill. Also, use your Super Attack to double your point when you attack enemies. This is a great way to quickly earn stars. 12 - NIGHT OF THE LIVING FOG - Passing Stars: 3 - Boss: Master Sho-Yu Gee, the Kung Fu Fighting scenery is really changing, isn't it? Anyway, when you appear, you will be surrounded by fog. There's one thing to remember every time you see fog in this level - stay away from it by following the light (the light will keep the fog away). If you go into the fog, it will swallow you whole and you'll lose a life. Although the fog is bad for you, it's handy for quickly killing an enemy with a lot of health; knock them out, then throw them into the fog, where you'll see them quickly slide away off the screen. Okay, back to the main game. Continuously pick off the easy ninjas at the beginning. After a while, you'll come across a blue squarish part of the ground with holes in it. Next to that is a blue button. If you press the blue button, spikes will come out of the holes in the blue square; another handy way to kill ninjas. You'll come across several of these spiked-squares throughout this level, so use them to your advantage. As you fight your way through the fog and ninjas, more of the spiked squares will come up. After those, you'll come to an area with some Hopping Vampires. If you get too close to one, they'll instantly kill you. The only way to kill the Hopping Vampires is to throw the green vases at them (you can also throw them at enemies). Fight your way through the Hopping Vampires and enemies, and you'll eventually come to a yin-yang on the ground. Stand on the yin-yang because the fog will surround you. When you stand on the yin-yang, it will go down into the ground and disappear. Before you know it, you're falling into a big black hole. In this hole are spiked ledges; dodge them as you fall. Note that you cannot fight ninjas (and ninjas can't fight you) while in this hole; you can only throw a few punches at them once in a while. The only way of killing ninjas is by letting them kill themselves; most of them will blindly land on the spiked ledges. Once you get out of the hole, you will land on a roughly triangular-shaped spike floor. Then some enemy ninjas will appear. As soon as you can, get up on your feet then press one of the blue buttons. A few seconds later, spikes will jut out of the floor; if the enemy ninjas were standing on it they would have been killed. Repeat this with other ninjas as much times as you need to until a crazy ghost shakes you off the platform. When you land, you will find that you are on a narrow red spike floor with a blue button at one end. Behind the blue spike floor is a blue one with a red button at one end. Each button controls the opposite spike floor; so, for example, if you want to activate the blue spike floor, press the blue button at the red spike floor. Anyway, try to get up as soon as you land. If there are any ninjas that are still down, throw them off the platform immediately. There are some white ninjas that will threaten you here, so for an easy kill, knock them out and throw them out or use the spikes to give them a nasty death. After a short while on the spike floors, the crazy ghost will come back and destroy the place. Because of this, you'll take a short trip to another yin-yang like the one before, only this one has 4 green vases; this is the platform where you'll be fighting Master Sho-Yu. To get some cheap shots, throw the green vases at him to take chunks out of his health. At the last 3-5 seconds of the game, the ghost will come back and continuously shake the platform until the time runs out. 13 - TOMB ROBBER - Passing Stars: 3 - Boss: None If you've ever played Pac-Man, then you'll know that this level is very similar to it. Your mission here is to steal the golden rings from the haunted tomb, and to avoid the Invincible Hopping Vampires. You can't fight or jump in this level, so try not to get into a tight spot. Steal 75 golden rings for 3 stars, and 94 golden rings for 5 stars. You can use the Directional Pad to move in this level. 14 - FRY HARD - Passing Stars: 3 - Boss: None This is a fun level. When you appear, you're standing on a rotating yin- yang. See those two red and blue BIG mouths behind you? Those are the Mouths of Doom. Throw those pathetic enemies into one of the mouths and step on that mouth's button (red button to activate the red mouth, blue button to activate the blue mouth) to see them become incinerated as the mouth closes. If you feel overrun, take a risk and enter one of the mouths to pick up the burning pots and throw them at enemies. They'll instantly die, meaning you're that much closer to achieving three stars. 15 - THE WAY OF THE ADVANCED COMBO - Passing Stars: None - Boss: None As the last of the practice levels, this one teaches you some of the advanced combos such as Y, A+B and Y, X, A+B. As usual, a dummy will appear on the stage. This will represent your enemy; buttons will appear above the dummy. Press those buttons in the correct order to destroy the dummy - destroy 15 dummies and move on to the next round. 16 - GIGANTIC CRACK - Passing Stars: 3 - Boss: Chop & Styx Before you start, you'll see a small cutscene showing a huge ship named "GIGANTIC CRACK", and an iceberg in front of it. Then the camera will move towards the back end of the boat (is it called the stern? I can't really remember), where your character will be standing - a small area that is closed off by two rails. Kill the easy ninjas here at the beginning, and taunt them until you're ready to use your Super Attack (but don't use it yet). In a while, the ship will hit the iceberg you saw earlier. When this happens, bits of the iceberg will land on the ship. Throw the cubes of ice at enemies to knock them out and throw them overboard. The iceberg that hit the ship will have damaged it; from this point forward section-by-section the ship will sink. The first part of the ship that will sink is the end you started on; this will cause the front end of the ship to be lifted up from the water. Because of this, a piano will smash into one of the rails of the enclosed area, which will lead you into an open area. As quickly as you can, climb up the set of stairs on the right side. If you didn't manage to do that, you would have been pushed into the water by a large piece of the iceberg. Anyway, continuously move to the right side of the ship to avoid the water while fighting the ninjas. Feel free to use your Super Attack from this point forward. Once you get to an area where two lifeboats slide into the water, move onto the straightaway. Two rails on the right side will fall over, which will lead you into another straightaway. You'll have to spend some time in this area, which can get really annoying because of the enemies - but in some cases, even worse, the objects/items that slide towards you and into the sea. If an object slides to you (such as a crate), it'll push you into the sea; the good thing is you can pick up most of the items and throw them at enemies. After a while, the camera will move upwards, revealing the front end of the ship. Move towards it and try to stay next to the rails because in just a few moments the ship will "snap" into two bits. Just after this happens, the ship will turn over on its side. You have no chance but to lose a life here, because everyone - even enemies - will drown. Once you're back on your feet, more ninjas will appear. Continuously move to the left side of the ship, but keep your character close to the screen. As you move to the left, a lifeboat will drop down onto your level; use the lifeboat to jump up the next level. The same thing will happen here - another lifeboat will drop down. This time, when you use that lifeboat to climb up the next level, throw some boxes at enemies to keep them at bay. This next bit is the final part of the game; climb up the plank of wood and into the lifeboat. If there were any enemies that you didn't kill, they would have disappeared by now because the boss - Chop & Styx - would have entered the lifeboat. Like any other boss, Chop & Styx aren't tough to beat. Just keep on blocking his attacks and counter them. Take a bite out of his health by knocking him out and throwing him overboard. 17 - SEAL OF DESTINY - Passing Stars: 3 - Boss: None Now that you're alone in your lifeboat, you feel great remorse for killing so many ninjas on the ship. You decide to take a change of plans: save ninjas instead of killing them! Leftover ninjas from the ship are in the water and are about to drown! While in your lifeboat, toss them life rings by pressing the B button. There's a catch - some mischievous seals are being.... mischievous. They will push in front of the ninjas you are saving and throw the life rings back at you - that is, if you throw the life rings at them. When this happens, you will get knocked out, losing precious seconds. Save 35 ninjas for 3 stars, and 50 ninjas for 5 stars! Hint: If a seal tries to throw a life ring back at you, hit the life ring in mid air with another life ring so it won't hit you. 18 - BIG TROUBLE ON LITTLE ICEBERG - Passing Stars: 3 - Boss: None Bump the ninjas off the small iceberg before they bump you off it! To bump with extra force, press the X button. If you can, smash the wall of ice that surrounds the iceberg before you bump any ninjas. Doing so will make the wall of ice collapse and disappear, giving you and any enemy a free trip into the sea. A fun but frustrating level. 19 - BEHIND-THE-SCENES BRAWL - Passing Stars: 3 - Boss: None Just another standard backstage fight. This level introduces some of the more tougher enemies in the game (such as the Blindfolded and Great White Ninjas) - not that you haven't encountered them before, of course. Just use the tactics you've used before, and you shouldn't have a problem. 20 - ENTER THE DINO - Passing Stars: 3 - Boss: Monkey At the beginning, you'll see a small cutscene of your character running along a wooden bridge with a wooden dinosaur behind him/her. Then the level starts. As soon as it does, jump off the bridge and into the water because it will soon collapse. The water will then get taken over by piranha, so jump onto the raft. The raft will then start to move down the river. It will move faster and faster and soon you'll come across some rapids. Nothing to worry about, but if you look in the background, you'll see a green dinosaur. After a while, the dinosaur will come stomping at your raft, and will even bite the back bit of it - make sure to stay at the front side of the raft. Next, the camera will pan to the back of the raft to reveal some giant vines hanging over the river. Jump over the vines, as they can push you off the raft and into the piranha if you don't. Try not to fight the ninjas just now. After the giant vines, you'll see a wooden bridge collapse into the water. This is the time to abandon your raft; jump to the left (onto some bubbles) to where a huge frog head will pop out of the water. In this area there will be a series of frog heads that will come out of the water; jump on top of each one and use them as stepping-stones. At the end of the series of frog heads, there will be a fallen tree. Jump over it and back onto your raft. You'll start floating down the rapids again, where the camera will pan to the front of the boat. As soon as you jump over the last vine, the dinosaur from before will lift up your raft from the water and carry it in it's mouth. The camera can get a bit "hectic" here, so try not to fall off the raft. Soon after, the dinosaur will put your raft back onto the water and pick it up again. STAY ON THE FRONT END OF THE RAFT, as the dinosaur will be gnawing on the back end of it. Afterwards, the dinosaur will lose your raft because of a small waterfall in the way - but it will still chase your raft. As you float even faster downstream, Shao warns you of a huge waterfall - before you know it, your raft will go down the waterfall and you will land on a wooden bridge hanging across the waterfall. This wooden bridge is where you will fight Monkey. He's pretty easy to beat, just block him and counter his attacks. What happened to the dinosaur? If you were paying attention, you would have seen that it went over the waterfall and into nothingness. 21 - CLIMBING FISH, FALLING TURTLE - Passing Stars: 3 - Boss: None It's a battle between you and a big, hungry fish! The fish is slowly making its way up the waterfall, where you are situated. Mischievous turtles are floating down the stream, and getting caught on the edge of the waterfall. Pick up the turtles and throw them at the fish before it eats you! If you take too long to pick up the turtles, they will run across to one side of the screen and trip you up in the process. Avoid getting tripped up by jumping over the turtles. 22 - FISH OF FURY - Passing Stars: 3 - Boss: None The battlefield is a small rock surrounded by 5 lily pads, all of them on water. The water is infested with piranha, so do your best to stay out of it. Besides the water as a hazard, the big fish from the last level is back, and will eat the lily pads one at a time. You'll encounter some Dark Ninjas here, plus some tougher enemies such as the Blindfolded and Great White Ninjas. If ever you feel overrun, use your Spin Attack! Also use it when you're on the rock and there aren't any more lily pads to stand on. This ensures that your enemies will be pushed into the water. 23 - REVENGEANCE DAY - Passing Stars: 3 - Boss: Lucy Cannon When you start this level, you'll see a short cutscene showing UFOs attacking the big city and your character running onto a helipad from inside a lift. This helipad is the first area you'll be fighting in. Knock out and kill the ninjas here, and throw them overboard - nothing new. After a few more seconds of combat, the UFOs you saw before will continuously drop bombs on the helipad. Pick them up and throw them at enemies to instantly kill them - but remember, they can pick up the bombs and throw them just as you do. A machine of some kind (probably just another UFO) will then come down and place a gigantic bomb on the helipad. Run into the lift where you'll be safe, but then - BANG - the bomb explodes! Get up before more enemies close in on you. In this lift you'll be fighting Blindfolded Ninjas. They'll come in batches, so try to multiples of them at one time. Once you knock them out, throw them out of the lift (there are 2 holes in the lift where you can throw them out). The lift will speed upwards, then before you know it, it explodes and sends you flying onto a nearby building's rooftop. Get up as quickly as you can; a Great White Ninja will soon appear. Also, just when you start to fight the GW Ninja, the special Death Ray will appear destroy one side of the building you are standing on. This Death Ray will make quite a few appearances in this level, and this is just the first. To avoid the death ray, you must jump from one building to another, so jump onto the building behind the one you're standing on. The death ray will keep on following you, so keep on jumping from one building to another. Doing so will lead you on top of a UFO. The UFO will start to float/fly/whatever in the air, and will continuously turn and spin. DO NOT JUMP while you're on the UFO, otherwise you'll simply fall off and die. The UFO will land (well actually, it will crash) inside a building. Next to the building, look for a helicopter that will slowly make its way towards you. The helicopter is carrying an open cage; jump into the cage or die (literally!). This cage is where you will fight Lucy Cannon; use the same tactics from your previous fights with the other bosses. Remember to throw her out of the cage when you knock her out to take a chunk out of her health! 24 - INVASION OF THE BRAIN SNATCHER - Passing Stars: 3 - Boss: None Some aliens from the previous level have escaped from their crashed UFO, and need to be captured for experimentation! Since you're the star of this movie, your mission is to capture all of the aliens before the time runs out! Pick up the aliens one by one and throw them into the cage - the aliens are very fast, so try jumping or another attack that allows you to move very fast. Capture 10 aliens for 3 stars, and all 14 aliens for 5 stars! 25 - CLOSE ENCOUNTER OF THE WORST KIND - Passing Stars: 4 - Boss: None You are standing right in the middle of a wobbly UFO, your battlefield for this level. The UFO will tilt to whatever side you and enemies are standing on; for example, if you stand on the left side of the UFO, it will title to the left. Kill all of the enemies on the UFO! Enemies will appear in crowds, which means that your heavy attack is your best bet. If you knock out a ninja, all you have to do is throw them on the edge (or close to the edge) of the UFO, and that will guarantee that they will fall of the edge. Also, if a ninja is still up and alive and is close to the edge of the UFO, use your spin attack to knock them off. 26 - EVERYBODY'S A CRITIC - Passing Stars: 4 - Boss: Every character except Shao Ting Your co-stars (and their brother/sister) are jealous because you're the star of the great movie, and they all want to kill you! Kill all of them before they do the same to you. This level is actually pretty easy to complete with 5 stars. With the first two bosses that show up, knock one of them out and throw them off the stage. Now you're free to taunt the other person; do so to get your special ability. Once you're with the 2nd pair of bosses, you know you can easily kill them with your Super Attack. Hint: To make things quicker, choose a character with a directional Super Attack. This way, when you use your Super Attack, you can kill the bosses much faster - unlike when using an Auto-Super Attack. 27 - SHAO TING'S BIG END - Passing Stars: 5 - Boss: Shao Ting This is it, the final level; a simple cage match between you and Shao Ting. He believes that the only star of his film is himself, and that you are nothing - he wants to kill you and play your part as himself! Shao Ting is an easy boss, if you know how to fight well. Repeatedly block his attacks and counter them - always use an effective combo after the counter. Don't throw anything at him when he's up and alive; most likely he'll throw the items back at you and catch you off guard. When you knock him out (remember to taunt!), kick him a couple of times and throw a few items at him just to lower his health a bit. Using your Super Attack is also effective. -- Congratulations, you've just completed Ninja Challenge mode! -- =========================================================================== 8) MINISERIES --- kw_min =========================================================================== Miniseries are small sets of mini-games for each character in the game. Each set of miniseries have 3 mini-games in them; complete all three games to unlock that character's biography! All mini-games require you to earn a full 5 stars (that is, if a mini-game actually has the star meter). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- MASTER SHO-YU (Easy) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 - DRUNKEN SAFETY You've just spent a long, LONG day in a local bar. Suddenly, a fight breaks out between some locals and some cows! Save 20 locals by bouncing them to safety! Dodge the cows! Since your character is drunk, your vision will be blurry, and everything on-screen will move very slow or fast. Don't move faster than you need too; you might lose control of Master Sho-Yu@ 2 - ICE NINJAS Master has just travelled a long way away from the city in search of a place to fast and meditate. He finds an iceberg to do just those things, when suddenly, Evil Ice Ninjas attack him! Bump into the hardened ice walls and push the ice ninjas into the water. This is a very easy thing to do, as there are lots of ninjas on the iceberg; most of them will get pushed by the other ninjas. In the end, you really have to only worry about 2-3 ninjas. 3 - MYSTIC CHOP In order to meditate, Master Sho-Yu climbs a sacred mountain, but gets challenged by a Samurai! The mountain's atmosphere invigorates both of you, and makes you both super strong. Everyone of your KOs is supercharged! Defeat the Samurai (Chop & Styx) to continue with your meditation - you have 10 lives each. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NINJA FU HIYA (Easy) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 - MYSTIC SHADOWS Recently, Ninja Fu Hiya has been having terrible nightmares. This time, his nightmare features himself being attacked by a gang of shadows. Save Ninja Fu Hiya by defeating the shadows to overcome his fears! Defeat the Shadow Ninjas within 90 seconds and get 5 stars. The Shadow Ninjas come in crowds, so use your Heavy Attack or Super Attack lots of times. Remember, using your Super Attack will double your points! 2 - LUNAR NINJAS Somehow, you arrive on the moon, only to be attacked by Moon Ninjas! With 5 lives, you must kill all of the Moon Ninjas and their boss, Lucy Cannon, on the wobbly UFO. Since you're on the moon, gravity is much lower. Try not to get hit by an enemy or you'll fly off, and you'll have to use up one of your lives. 3 - XUI BARFIGHT From the game itself: Back in the town bar, you spot a nice girl. "Hello," you say. "My name is Ninja." "MAYBE YOU KILLED MY FAMILY!" she cries! "AND NOW I MUST MAYBE KILL YOU!" You both get so mad that only a Super Attack will stop either of you! You need FIVE Taunts for a Super Attack! The first to kill with a Super Attack wins! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- MONKEY (Easy) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 - ANCIENT GOLD Pretending to be a human archaeologist, you stumble across a newly discovered ancient tomb full of gold. Steal all 94 bits gold before you get caught, within a time limit of 30 seconds! There are no enemies in this level, which is just as well; they would make your job A LOT harder. 2 - FOOTBALL SURVIVAL A crowd of football fans arrive demanding beer and whatnot. You have a disagreement about the football game, and before you know it, a fight breaks out among all of you. Defeat all of the football fans within 2 minutes and score 5 stars! As you kill these guys, the crowd will get bigger and bigger. Use your Super Attack if you feel overrun, or if you just want to end the level quickly! 3 - POISON LAIR A terrible wizard (Master Sho-Yu) has been sending ghosts to scare all of your friends. You travel over to his poisonous world in order to teach him a lesson! Defeat 5 of the wizard's ghosts and the wizard will show up - defeat him as well. His poisonous world drains your energy fast, so collect the Life Up awards to restore some of your energy. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHOP & STYX (Medium) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 - QUICK ALIENS New archive footage has been found explaining the mystery behind the Roswell UFO crash! It shows a mysterious angry man at the crash site chasing 5 aliens after being embarrassingly probed! Collect all 5 aliens in 60 seconds and throw them into the cage! Archive footage plays back very fast! 2 - BROTHERLY TOMB Your half-brother has just discovered an abandoned tomb; so you both go inside to explore. When you both arrive, you find two tomb robbers inside! You have 3 minutes to kill them 8 times. You cannot taunt because someone from outside might hear you (it is a secret tomb, after all!). 3 - POISON DUEL While looking for a job in the city, you come across two sisters (Xui and her sister) who, for no particular reason, challenge you to a deadly wooden man duel! Before you settle into the duel, you lace your sword with poison because you figure out that a two-on-one fight is somewhat unfair! For most of the time, one of the sisters will fight you, and the other will run around the place trying to destroy all of the wooden men appear. Do your best to break this formation; kill the one fighting you, which will keep her away for 3 seconds. Now you're free to deal with the other sister. I suggest knocking her out and taunting her to get your Super Attack. Afterwards, kill her. By this time, the other sister will have come back. This is the time to use your Super Attack. Repeat process. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- XUI TAN SOUR (Medium) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 - HUNGRY FEVER You are on holiday in the jungle, and manage to catch yellow fever - a sickness that makes you hungry. So, naturally, you go out fishing and you find a huge fish! Hit the giant fish 10 times by using the turtles! Most of the turtles are gone and there are very few left, so throw the turtles at the right time and don't waste them. Yellow fever makes you see things in a light shade of yellow, and alters things so that they speed/slow down. Think of this level as a weird movie that randomly fast forwards and uses slow motion. 2 - JUMPING MONKEY Monkey brags that he can jump higher than any girl, and you're there to witness this. In order to teach him a lesson or two, you challenge him at high-noon to a jumping contest! Jump or spin the rotating pole to knock Monkey into the water! There's something really wrong with this pole; if you keep on jumping over it, it will continuously gather speed until it's too fast to jump over. Good for killing Monkey and yourself. At other times, it will somehow reverse its direction despite its speed. Just think of it as a normal rotating pole :) 3 - INVISIBLE NINJAS A new breed of Ninjas is taking over the forest; these ninjas have mastered the art of invisibility! Your job is to kill them and defeat the Invisible Ninja boss (Ninja Fu Hiya) who lives in the Ninja Fortress! This is actually an easy level. There are three main ways to spot the invisible ninjas: 1) Look for their faint outline, 2) find their shadows on the ground, and 3) watch their "shield" when they block. Otherwise, you can just blindly attack a random spot in hopes of killing a ninja :) You'll encounter mostly Dark Ninjas at the beginning, plus a few tougher enemies such as Blindfolded Ninjas and Great White Ninjas (at least I *think* there are GW Ninjas). In fact, I daresay that you encounter the same enemies as in the Ninja Challenge version of this level! When you pass the area where you have to open the two big red doors, Ninja Fu Hiya will appear. Super Attacks aren't really effective here as well as throwing him into the poisonous gas - but they still do the most damage to him. Just try your hand at everything and you should kill him in no time. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LUCY CANNON (Medium) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 - NINJA CANNONS You have just beaten Ninja Fu Hiya in a game of hopscotch, and so he gets extremely sulky and challenges you to a game he has just made up! The name of the game is "DODGE THE CANNON NINJAS AND DEFEAT ME TO WIN!" As the name states, dodge the flying/cannon ninjas or they'll send you flying off the wooden bridge - they come in dozens, so I suggest staying in one place, which ensures that most of them won't hit you. You only have 3 lives here, so make sure you don't use them up dodging the flying ninjas. When Ninja Fu Hiya appears, you'll notice that he is quite resistant to attacks when you attack him. Super Attacks and throwing him off the bridge are not very effective, but they take the most damage out of him. Try using long combos and any other effective attacks. Time is VERY LIMITED in this level, only about 45 seconds (15 seconds dodging the flying ninjas, and a mere 30 seconds fighting Ninja Fu Hiya), so work fast! 2 - DOJO MONKEYS A couple of Ebola-carrying monkeys have escaped and have the kiss of death! Fight both of the monkeys with Candi - unfortunately, Candi thinks the monkeys are cute, and will not fight them! Both monkeys have 10 lives altogether, as with you and Candi. This is a simple level - kill both of the Monkeys while protecting Candi from them. She will not attack them and will merely stand in one place because she thinks the Monkeys are cute, but if you knock out a Monkey close to her, she will throw that Monkey off the stage. The key thing to remember here is that the monkeys' trip attack (which is kissing you) will kill you instantly. If you see that a monkey is about to kiss you, simply counter them. If you see a monkey that is about to kiss Candi, immediately knock out that monkey. Other than their kisses, these are just ordinary monkeys. :) 3 - GHOSTLY CAGE While secretly practicing cage-dancing, a wizard (Master Sho-Yu) interferes and summons two invincible smoke spirits! Defeat the wizard! Fight in the enclosed cage with a wizard and two spirits. Master Sho-Yu seems to be VERY resistant to attacks; throwing something at him will hardly damage him, and Super Attacks won't take even half of his health o_O. Even worse, the two smoke spirits (you can easily see them by their grey shade in color) like to gang up on you and perform mixed combos of basic attacks, counters, and trips - very annoying indeed. Keep them away from you by spinning, or just knock out and taunt them. When you've powered up, use your Super Attack on Master Sho-Yu - just note that it may take a few Super Attacks to fully damage him. >_> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CANDI ROLL (Hard) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 - COMMUNITY BRAWL For skating in a local disco while holding a pair of scissors the wrong way, you have just been sentenced to one minute of community service. Bounce 85 drunken brawlers into the police boat within the time limit (which is actually around 40 seconds, not a minute). This is just like any other bouncing level, the only difference is that it's really fast and there are no cows to worry about. :) 2 - MYSTIC CAPTAIN You and your sister have been called upon to get rid of the evil villain, Captain Won Ton. His super powers allow his every knockout to be supercharged, so beware! As said above, your job (and your sister's job) is to defeat Captain Won Ton - 20 times within 3 minutes, to be exact. This is a very easy level if you know how to work with your sister. Block his attacks then counter the Captain's counters, and you should knock him out in no time. As soon as you knock him out, Candi's sister *should* throw him off stage. Just in case she doesn't, always taunt Captain Won Ton while he's on the ground to delay his recovery and to build up to your Super Attack - otherwise, it's just another boss fight. :) 3 - SHOUTING LESSON While on a luxurious cruise ship, you are pestered by two big, burly men. Before you know it, the three of you getting into a shouting match, constantly taunting each other! Taunt Chop & Styx and Captain Won Ton 20 times before the time runs out! This can be extremely frustrating; once you taunt one person, there's a 90% chance that the other will attack you, stopping your taunt in its tracks. A good but a not-guaranteed-to-work strategy is to use a long combo on one person (#1) to get them down for a long time (remember to taunt), then use the same combo on the other person (#2). Then, throw #1 overboard FIRST and #2 SECOND. Like I said, it's not guaranteed to work, as #2 could counter you while you attack #1. If you get 10 or more taunts before you get to the part where the ship splits into two, you should have no more problems from there. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CAPTAIN WONTON (Hard) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 - MYSTIC CANDIS While on a mountain, you unexpectedly get attacked by two Candis! The battlefield is an open arena, the same that you use in Freestyle mode. You have only 5 lives, while the Candis have 20 lives altogether! In this mini-game, the two Candis act pretty much just as any other pair that fights you in the game. One of them keeps fighting you, while the other runs around the arena, seemingly distracted by something. Despite your lives, there are two advantages here: - The Candis cannot block your attacks, but you can block them. - Every one of your KOs are supercharged. The first advantage above is useful, but the latter one is possibly even more useful. It ensures that you don't even have to pick up a Candi and throw her off the stage once you've knocked her out. Also, remember to taunt to use your Super Attack - it really helps to knock off a few off their lives! 2 - SHOTGUN HARE While exploring the jungle to look for two cute bunnies to play with, you meet two ladies. You ask them if they have seen a couple of bunnies to play with to play with, when suddenly, they attack! Before you know it, it's a terrible misunderstanding with guns. The battlefield is the same as "Fish of Fury" - 5 lily pads surrounding a small grey rock, all on piranha-infested water. In the beginning, there's a high chance that both Lucy's will use their heavy attack, a shot from their shotguns (get used to this, they'll use it alot in this level). Try to dodge them by using a jump kick towards the Lucy on your lower left (Lucy1), and then KICK her off the lily pad - don't pick up and throw. Leave Lucy1 with the piranhas. Now you're free to deal with Lucy2; quick yet effective combos are the main ideas here. Make sure that you kill Lucy2 just as Lucy1 comes back. See the idea here? Have one Lucy off the field as you fight another. This way, you don't give them a chance to team up; they can fight together very well when they do. 3 - GHOST TOWN No one is safe in the local town; 5 ghosts have taken over it! As expected, you are called to get rid of them. This is a very easy level to complete - knock out and taunt each of the ghosts, one by one. All 5 ghosts will not take damage to normal attacks; only super attacks will harm them. The only problem should have with this level is with your super attack finishing before you can kill them - with really shouldn't be a problem at all :) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SHAO TING (Hard) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 - POLE VAULT You are currently competing in a pole-standing event, trying to go for a world record. The judges have gone out to lunch, so this your chance to take advantage! Apparently, you think that the only way to win this event is by cheating. And what better way to cheat that by knocking the other contestants off their platforms? That's your job in this level: knock the other 3 contestants off their platforms before the time runs out. To do this, you must jump from one platform to another to fight a contestant. This can be very tricky, but it should be easier every time you do it. Time your jumps; wait until your pole moves to the right position, then jump (use a jump kick to help if you're a bit off course). Taunts and super attacks work well here. 2 - NINJA BUNNIES In 1950, Shao was mysteriously invited to a Playboy penthouse party, eager to meet bunny girls - this is supposedly where he learned to "fight". Instead, there he met crowds of Bunny Ninjas! Work in unison with Captain WonTon to defeat the bunnies! This is a very frustrating level, and probably the hardest. Read the instructions carefully: "... No taunting allowed as Bunny Ninjas are impervious to humiliation!" That's right; you can't taunt in this level. That rule is very unfortunate because when you knock out a bunny, they recover very fast, meaning you can't pick them up and the only way to kill them is by taking out their health. To add to your problems, the crowd of enemies becomes bigger as you wipe out each crowd. Still, no worries; take a few tries with this level and try to develop some easy technique of wiping out those darn bunnies. Definitely easier said than done. o_O 3 - NIGHTMARE MONKEY Shao Ting's worst nightmare is the evil Clown Monkeys! He fears that he will see himself battling the Clown Monkeys, in a jungle full of Ninja spectres! Live Shao's nightmare and save him! This is an easy level (despite the game saying it's hard). The monkeys are nothing more than Monkey himself with more health and a different outfit. Anyway, do the usual: knock 'em out, taunt, throw into the piranha-infested river and repeat. Make sure you use each Monkey to fully build up your Super Attack. After each Monkey, a gang of Shadow Ninjas will appear - do not use your Super Attack on them (or use them to get your Super Attack if you didn't get the chance with the previous Monkey). Shao's Heavy Attack helps alot here. When the next Monkey appears, use your Super Attack. See the pattern here? Build up your Super Attack with the Shadow Ninjas, then use your Super Attack on the Monkeys. To summarize it all: Monkey 1 - Build up to Super Attack Shadow Ninjas - Kill Monkey 2 - Use Super Attack Shadow Ninjas - Build up to Super Attack Monkey 3 - Use Super Attack Shadow Ninjas - Build up to Super Attack Monkey 4 - Use Super Attack Shadow Ninjas - Build up to Super Attack Of course, this is just a recommended tactic; you don't have to use it at all. When you've finished this level, put a smile on because you have just finished the Miniseries! =========================================================================== 9) HINTS AND TIPS --- kw_hin =========================================================================== Here are a few hints and tips to help you in the game: - Can't be bothered to block by yourself? Turn on the auto-block feature by going to Game Options > Controller from the Main Menu. Now, every time an opponent tries to attack you, your character will automatically block them. Also, your Right Trigger will be disabled when auto-block is on. - Let Shao Ting tell you what to do and where to go by going to Game Options > Gameplay. He will direct you in any level of the game, and will also say how much time you have left for a level. - Remember that using your Super Attack against enemies will double your points in Ninja Challenge mode and in some levels in the Miniseries. - Some Super Attacks require you to direct them, while others work by themselves. If you have bad aim, choose a character with an "automatic" Super Attack; but if you want to kill enemies swiftly, choose a character with a directional Super Attack.
