  3. 6 Button Mode

    This cheat makes it possible to play the game with a new 6 Button controller scheme. You need a 6 button controller plugged into port 1 and any regular controller in port 2. Highlight "Options" on the main menu. Normally when you're in the Options menu, it says "Options" at the top, with an S on the end. Highlight Options but don't go into it yet. On Controller 1, hold the Mode button and on Controller 2, hold UP on the D-Pad and the C Button. With all these buttons held down, press Start on controller 1. Now you're in the Options menu, it now just says "Option" at the top without an S. This means 6 Button mode is on. This is what each button does. A is the Block button. B is a Melee attack. C is Jump X uses Ninjitsu magic Y and Z throw Shurikens This allows you to use Melee move at any time rather than at close range or when out of Shurikens. Enjoy!

  4. Ceiling Clip

    This is a glitch that can help in speedruns when used in the right spots. First, you need to be in an area that has a low ceiling and a wall to jump off of. When you first try this, make sure you have a good amount of shurikens (maybe 30-40). This is because it may take a lot of times to successfully do it. Also, make sure you have a ninjutsu available, and set it to Jutsu of Fushin. Use the ninjustsu. Then, do a wall jump, and then right about when your head hits the ceiling, throw a shuriken at the same time. If you have the fire button right next to the jump button, you can pretty much just roll your thumb from the jump button to the fire button. If you throw the shuriken at the exact right moment, you should go right through the ceiling, and stay there.
    When you press left or right, you'll sort of zip a short distance in that direct, but then start moving in the opposite direction at a slow speed. You have to be careful, because in some spots, you will become trapped when you reach a certain area.
