Use the (U) rom version.
Rdannylor2 31 Aug 2014 19:35
If playing on save states for the no hit boss achievement. Save in the area before the boss. For the final boss save near the door before the boss.

Don't use the 99 continue cheat this will prevent achievements from popping.
Gaiden 7 Apr 2015 06:16
Thanks man , I'll check right now !!!
Gaiden 7 Apr 2015 06:18
Never use cheats man!!! kkk thanks

Beat the game with one life could be a great achievement
BerserkerBR 7 Nov 2016 20:38
I think beating the game in one life is impossible since the time aways runs out in the last bosses....
Gaiden 12 Dec 2017 20:42
Possible to finish without losing lives, I already did ... but in the last phase must be very fast, because the time is scarce. I'm missing in this game just the last trophy, close the last stage with full life, my doubt is if I can take damage, as

Yeah at Stage 7 you will definitely die once because of Time. Just carry on and the cheevos will still pop.

Mastered, good set. tough game. takes alot of patience to learn
Moshe613 27 Apr 2024 05:18
Mastered!!! So proud of it, last Ninja Gaiden for NES. Very hard but worth it
DarkestOne 13 May 2024 01:06
Finally mastered. Final boss with clear pattern is sooooo nice after previous games.
Invincible fire is the best for full health clear, especially on act 7 (immunity for spikes = more time for bosses). Still better than the first game, even with limited continues

The 600 thousand score achievement's image looks like a slur

Finalmente um jogo sem tanto Spam de inimigos, fases menos difíceis do que o primeiro jogo e segundo jogo, ainda continua com a babaquice de morrer no último chefe e voltar tudo, as músicas não achei nada demais, são boas, mas não são memoráveis, as cenas antes das fases são lindas, aquela observação ao castelo do inferno é muito maneira, as conquistas Mais difíceis foram de passar as fases com a vida cheia, vc pode sim levar dano, o problema é levar dano muito perto da porta de chefe e a outra foi de derrotar o Clancy apenas na espada, mas o Power UP da espada nesse jogo é perfeita, então não acaba sendo um sofrimento iguais aos outros jogos.

A set for the Japanese version, please.
