The Revenge of Shinobi, originally known as The Super Shinobi, is a 1989 action game developed and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis. It is set after the original Shinobi and ignores the arcade version of Shadow Dancer.In the year 19XX, the evil crime syndicate Zeed was reduced to rubble by the powers of stealth possessed by the Shinobi master, Joe Musashi. It seemed as if the world had returned to peace. But three years later, the villains reform themselves as Neo Zeed and cast the world into darkness, killing all ninjas who could oppose them. Joe returns all too late to the now destroyed Oboro Clan and learns from his dying master that Neo Zeed has kidnapped his fiance Naoko. Burning with vengeance, the hero sets out for the heart of Neo Zeed.Gameplay involves reaching the goal of each area without needing to search for targets like in Shinobi and Shadow Dancer. On top of some demanding platforming, the Neo Zeed warriors are relentless and must be dealt with carefully at either long or close range. The hero can find a powerup that enhances all his attacks and perform limited Ninjutsu abilities to eradicate enemies.The game notably credited Yuzo Koshiro for its soundtrack on the title screen and is well-known for a whole bunch of shameless unauthorized cameos from pop culture characters as enemies and bosses which were unfortunately removed one by one with each re-release.In 1993, a much faster-paced sequel called Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master was released. And don't confuse this with the 2002 Game Boy Advance game of the same name.

Antepiece: The Chinatown level has one really wide gap between platforms to jump over about half way through the level, but there are no enemies or hazards to worry about. A few stages later, at the wharf, the player has to pull it off over a Bottomless Pit.

Special Guest: After the initial release, Sega obtained the license to use Spider-Man for a set of licensed games, and modified the shapeshifter boss in this game to actually be Spidey in the first phase. Unfortunately, once Capcom and Activision got the license years later, Sega had to change Spidey's suit to pink to get around licensing issues.

Limit Break
 The Revenge of Shinobi (Video Game) / int_2afb1a9
comment
Limit Break: You can use one Ninjutsu per life, plus any you find hidden around each level. Ikazuchi generates an electric field around Joe that prevents damage four times. Ninjas can't catch you if you wa shock. Karyu summons several dragons of fire that damage everyone on the screen. Fushin simply enhances Joe's jump height (jump distance less so). Mijin detonates Joe on the spot to deal heavy damage on foes and then regenerates him at full health and with a Ninjutsu available. Nothing keeps it from causing a game over at 0 lives...

Awesome, but Impractical
 The Revenge of Shinobi (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae
comment
Awesome, but Impractical: The Jutsu of Mijin in Revenge of Shinobi causes Joe to explode and do enormous damage to everything onscreen. It's the only Ninjitsu that can be used repeatedly without needing additional pick-ups (though you need to have one use to use it to begin with)...at the cost of consuming a life every single time it's used. Needless to say, using it on your final life isn't a good idea...unless you WANT to go out with a bang. Nevertheless, Mijin can be your best friend in this game. While it's true that using it will cost you a life, if you use it when you're almost out of energy and about to die, you'll continue with your life gauge at full and in the same space you were before. No need to restart the stage.

Meaningful Background Event: A highway is seen in the background of the junkyard level. The second half of the next Round happens to take place over it. The red car obstacle in the highway level comes once for every two gray cars that move past the background. Towards the end of the subway level, it gets out of the tunnel and the next stage's wharf appears in the background. As you advance into the wharf, a battleship becomes visible in the background. It is the second act of Round 7.

Attract Mode: It alternates between a text crawl with the storyline and gameplay demos. The demos have really lame gameplay, and by changing the difficulty settings you can make Joe die even faster or prevent him from dying. The latter case causes the demo to go on forever until you press Start due to running out of inputs.

 The Revenge of Shinobi (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8
comment
Guide Dang It!: Killing the Ninja Master can get like this, given he appears completely invulnerable and even the boss-killing Mijin magic deals no damage to him. As it turns out, you can only attack his body, which is usually protected by his deadly Kabuki hair — until he overextends it in his initial strike, which leaves an opening that Joe can throw a shuriken at... or even detonate a Mijin into. The correct path in the penultimate level, The Cellar Maze, is very frustrating to find and many a player resort to maps to navigate it.

Puzzle Boss: The intended solution for the first boss is to bait out an attack so you can jump behind the samurai and backstab him. The Ninja Master is only vulnerable when he makes a stabbing motion with his hair. Moreover, you must throw shuriken in the gaps on the walls to halt the Descending Ceiling over Naoko.

comment
Lawyer-Friendly Cameo: In the early versions of the game, Musashi will fight against thinly-disguised pastiches of Rambo, The Terminator (or the Hulk, depending on how you look at it), Spider-Man (who later became official for a time, see Special Guest below), Batman, and even Godzilla as bosses. Unfortunately, the companies that made the characters started catching on, so shipment of the games was stopped in order to modify the sprite data. This happened at least 3-4 times, with each revision removing or altering the characters in question. By the time of the Wii re-release, Rambo was sprite-swapped, Spider-Man was recolored pink, Batman was a mutated Devilman ripoff, Godzilla's skin was peeled off and Sonny Chiba's face on the title screen was replaced by a constipated guy's. Yep, that's right: only the Terminator/Hulk survived. A prototype for the game contains an unused cartoony bonus level where the Mandara boss from the original Shinobi arcade game is depicted as an Ultraman character.

Double Jump: Double jumps enable the Punishing Rain, a Spread Shot of 8 shurikens. It also switches between foreground and background layers on levels that have them, and you better master the input's timing.

comment
Killing the Ninja Master can get like this, given he appears completely invulnerable and even the boss-killing Mijin magic deals no damage to him. As it turns out, you can only attack his body, which is usually protected by his deadly Kabuki hair — until he overextends it in his initial strike, which leaves an opening that Joe can throw a shuriken at... or even detonate a Mijin into.
