The Revenge of Shinobi - Stages

Stages

Ibaraki Province, Japan

This bamboo forest in the Ibaraki Prefecture is where the game begins. Through these ancient ruins Musashi must make his way to The House of Confusion. At the end of this district, he is confronted by the mighty samurai Blue Lobster.

Tokyo

Musashi begins this stage near a rocky canyon. Winged ninja swoop down from the sky to attack Joe. Once he makes it past the waterfalls, the district moves on to the darkened roof tops of Tokyo, and eventually into a blinding disco where Shinobi must battle with the Shadow Dancer.

The Military Base U.S.

This military complex of Neo Zeed is heavily guarded by armed soldiers. Musashi will encounter light infantry as well as flame throwers and attack dogs. The second scene takes Musashi on board an air carrier. If he touches one of the air locks, he dies. The aircraft is controlled by a powerful supercomputer that houses a human brain.

Detroit

Detroit is one big junkyard, heaps upon heaps of cars, running through conveyor belts and into a melting furnace. A tough Terminator-like android guards this wreckage.

Area code 818

Area code 818 takes Musashi past skyscrapers and freeways. The final battle is fought on top of an armoured vehicle carrying a gigantic ballistic missile.

Chinatown

After a showdown with the kung-fu gangs of Chinatown, Musashi hops on board a speeding train. Eventually he finds himself in the clutches of characters resembling Spider-Man and Batman. Devilman for the 1.01 version of the game instead of Batman. In the PAL Mega Drive manual, the boss is described as a single, morphable character known as the Web-Bat.

New York

Ninja and machine gunners guard the breakwater of New York City's dockside. Leaping from boat to boat, Joe infiltrates Neo Zeed's container ship and comes face to face with a Godzilla-like T-Rex, known as the Ancient Dinosaur (referred to as a brontosaurus in the PAL Mega Drive manual).

Neo Zeed Marine Stronghold

Here is where Musashi faces his final enemy, the Boss, who is the leader of Neo Zeed. After pass by the Marine, Joe needs to find the right way on a large and well-guarded labyrinth. The beautiful Naoko is trapped somewhere beneath the cellar maze of this stronghold, and Joe must terminate the Boss quickly before the cell trap kills Naoko. There are two endings to the game, depending on whether Joe defeats the Boss in time to save Naoko.
