The Revenge of Shinobi (Ver. 1.03) Stage 8: Neo Zeed Marine Stronghold + Good Ending
21This is the final level, as Joe Musashi has finally found the Neo Zeed's stronghold far off the coast of New York.
Act 1 focuses on getting through its harbor, full of human enemies and turrets that will get in your way. Act 2 is the hardest level in the game if you don't know what you're doing. It puts Joe into a labyrinth, where he must go through the right doors in order to get to the end.
My video here shows all the doors you need to go through to get through Act 2.
Act 3 is the very final level, where Musashi must face the final boss and leader of Neo Zeed, simply called "The Boss".
He has insanely long hair that he uses to kill you with. Duck under his hair at close range to dodge his hair whip attack, then get out of the way as he will then throw his hair right at you.
At the very same time, Joe's beloved Naoko is locked behind a gate, and from there, there is a ceiling that slowly falls, threatening to crush her.
There are two different endings in the game based on whether you kill The Boss in enough time to save Naoko or not. You can temporarily stop the ceiling from falling by throwing a shuriken at the rectangle opening to the left.
Even with the very small amount of shuriken I have left, I still managed to get the Good Ending of this game.
If you manage to save Naoko after killing the final boss, Joe Musashi unlocks her door and both of them hug. They're so happy to see each other again. Awwwwwww...
The ending has both of them look at a sunset, most likely somewhere back in Japan. Naoko is saved and Neo Zeed has completely collapsed, thanks to the Shinobi called Joe Musashi.
Unlike most of the games I've shown on YouTube, this one doesn't have a credits sequence. It just goes straight back to the SEGA screen. How strange...
