Shinobi — About this game
Joe Musashi fights through five missions to free kidnapped hostages and defeat the Ring of Five. This Master System version adds a life meter and rewards rescues with useful upgrades. Ranged attacks become close combat when enemies approach, while high and low platform jumps open different paths. Winning the shooting-gallery bonus grants ninja magic, which must be charged by defeating ten enemies before use.
