Released in 1990 for the Nintendo Entertainment System, Shadow of the Ninja is a side-scrolling action platform game developed and published by Natsume. The game originally released in Japan as Yami no Shigotonin Kage, and later had a release in Europe as Blue Shadow.In the year 2029, the largest city in America is run under the iron grip of the evil Emperor Garuda. He and his followers have created an impenetrable fortress, and no one has been able to break through to threaten his plans to continue his conquest. This all changes when two mysterious figures manage to break past the outer defenses of the city. Enter Hayate and his senpai Lady Kaede, two ninjas of the Iga clan, sent to infiltrate Garuda's fortress and bring an end to his empire.Players take control of Hayate or Kaede and platform and fight their way through five different stages throughout Garuda's city. The game can be played in either single-player mode, or a two-player simultaneous cooperative mode. Both characters use katanas as their primary weapon, but these can be swapped out for other weapons by collecting the right power ups.A version of the game was in development for the Game Boy, but the rights to this version were picked up by Tecmo, and rebranded into a spinoff of the Ninja Gaiden series titled Ninja Gaiden Shadow. While Shadow does have some similarities to the original game, including some shared music and a near-identical intro cutscene featuring the same villain, it is largely its own game, with a handful of unique mechanics and different stages. In 2023, a remake of the original NES game, titled Shadow of the Ninja Reborn, was announced to be in development, planned to be released on ninth-generation systems in 2024. | |

After Boss Recovery | |
| Shadow of the Ninja (Video Game) / int_15df66d9 | comment |
After Boss Recovery: You regain health after defeating a stage boss, though only enough to fill half a health bar. If you have less than half health, the recovery will not be enough to fill your health completely. | |

Degraded Boss | |
| Shadow of the Ninja (Video Game) / int_3babae20 | comment |
Degraded Boss: Stage 1 contains a mini-boss against Palooka, a soldier that has a very fast slide attack. This mini-boss appears as a regular enemy in stage 2, with three appearing shortly before the stage's main boss. | |

Smart Bomb: You can hold down the attack button to charge up a lightning attack that kills every enemy onscreen. Doing so costs half a meter's worth of health, however. | |

Dual Boss | |
| Shadow of the Ninja (Video Game) / int_486466ee | comment |
Dual Boss: Initially, the boss of stage 4 is a fight against Captain Hawk and his hawk companion. The Captain fights you at ground level with jump kicks while the bird occasionally swoops down at you from the air where you can't reach it. This only lasts for the first part of the fight, however. | |

Breakable Power-Up | |
| Shadow of the Ninja (Video Game) / int_4f7f594c | comment |
Breakable Power-Up: The katana and kusarigama can both be upgraded by collecting multiple power ups of the same type without collecting the other, but taking too much damage will cause your weapon to downgrade back to its weaker form. | |

Cast from Hit Points | |
| Shadow of the Ninja (Video Game) / int_51567188 | comment |
Cast from Hit Points: The ninjas can perform an attack where they call upon bolts of lightning to kill every enemy on screen and do large amounts of damage to bosses, but this attack costs half of your life bar to pull off, and can't be done at all if you don't have at least half health. | |

Attack Its Weak Point | |
| Shadow of the Ninja (Video Game) / int_82108e3d | comment |
Attack Its Weak Point: The Eyestalker mini-boss in stage 2 can only be damaged by attacking the eyes on the ends of its body. The Killer Tank boss only takes damage when the cannon on top is hit. The laser cannon on the underside can also be damaged and destroyed, but doing so has no effect on the main health bar. | |

Battle Boomerang | |
| Shadow of the Ninja (Video Game) / int_b43217a5 | comment |
Battle Boomerang: The Boomerang Masters are enemies that attack by throwing a boomerang that subsequently returns to them, being able to damage you on both the initial throw and the rebound. You can stop the boomerang effect by attacking it, but they have an unlimited supply, so this only stops it briefly. | |
