Shadow of the Ninja/Rooftops of the City

That’s a pretty long run, so be prepared.

You’re on the rooftop now. Move forward and meet cybork. If you’re not sure that you can destroy its upper body part, you’d better move along without damaging cybork at all, or its body will be floating after you for a very long time. There’s a sword in a box behind the cybork. You’ll meet another cybork (and again, think twice before damaging it), then bottomless pit, then another cybork (you might not want to damage this one too). You’ll encounter the runner right after the last cybork.

Now you’ll be climbing up. It’s much easier to destroy annoying upper parts of cyborks from ladders if some of them are around. There’s a container with kusarigama after the first ladder. There is a runner on each of the next two floors. They’ll be continuously appearing from one side and disappearing from another one until you destroy them. The next floor is a bit tricky to pass. There are runner and cybork on it, and another runner will be constantly jumping down from the next floor. It’s hard to climb up without being damaged, so just get rid of both runners and a cybork (there are a lot of ladders nearby, so it’s quite easier to destroy its body here). The next floor contains a monkey and another annoying runner. And no surprises on the next floor.

Move forward and jump over gaps until you meet robotic beetle. It’s an easy enemy, but now it’s on a narrow platform, so it will take some skill to destroy it without receiving damage. You’ll meet a boomerang master, and there will be a box with shurikens after him. You’ll come to some sort of ruins. Destroy the robotic beetle and stop. There’s a boomerand master above you behind the screen. If you continue moving forward right now, you’ll very likely be hit with his boomerang, so wait for a few seconds and move forward. The second (and very short) climbing up will end with two robotic beetles. As you might know, you can destroy them while hanging from the ladder, they won’t charge at you. Very soon you’ll encounter another boomerang master. You can’t jump over him, so either fight him, or sacrifice some stamina to run through him.

Right after the boomerang master you’ll see a platform with another robotic beetle, and there’s a container with katana on the next platform.

When you’ll begin climbing up, there will be a sniper right in front of you, and another one left of the first one. You’ll get acquaint with their diagonal shooting when they’re standing. Destroy both, or they’ll interfere while you’ll be moving further.

You’ll see two containers and a sniper later. It’s easy to destroy the sniper, especially with kusarigama, but there’s a problem. If you destroy him from below, you’ll very likely destroy the container he’s guarding, and you won’t have enough time to grab shurikens from that container. If you want this weapon, destroy the sniper from above. And the left container is easy to grab, there’s kusarigama inside. Move forward. There’s katana in the box. The sniper below is easy to destroy and impossible to pass through. You’ll meet another sniper later, that’s the last enemy on this level. Just move forward, jumping over gaps to meet the boss.
