How to play
Your goal is to guide Ryu Hayabusa through six challenging stages, defeating enemies and avoiding obstacles to reach the final boss. You move with the D-pad, jump with the A button, and attack with the B button. Your primary weapon is the Dragon Sword, but you can collect sub-weapons like shurikens and windmill throwing stars by breaking lanterns. These are activated with the B button while holding Up on the D-pad. Timing your jumps is critical, as platforms are often small and enemies attack from all directions. In the early game, focus on learning enemy patterns and conserving your health. The middle stages introduce more complex platforming and tougher enemies, requiring precise attacks and jumps. During tense moments, such as boss fights, keep your distance when possible and use sub-weapons to deal damage safely. Master the art of the 'shadow clone' technique, which creates a temporary double to distract foes.
