The Ninja Warriors/Stage 5

Once Kunoichi and Ninja have reappeared on the screen (ankle-deep in sewage), begin walking to the right as three attack dogs come running towards you from the screen's right side; once you have crouched down and stabbed (or thrown a shuriken at) each of them to kill them, a hunchbacked mutant will drop down to the ground to the rear of you. Once you have turned back to the left and stabbed him five times (or thrown five shurikens at him) to kill him (each hit is indicated by him hissing from the Yamaha YM-2610, and his death is also worth five extra shurikens), you have to turn back to the right as you come to five magenta bats who are sleeping upside-down on the ceiling - and once they have detected your presence, they will wake up and fly towards you. Once you've stabbed (or thrown a shuriken at) all of these to kill them for 200 points apiece, you will have to crouch down to walk under a lower part of the ceiling, as you come to five more magenta bats who are sleeping upside-down on it; once they have detected your presence, they will wake up and fly towards you. Once you have killed all of them, you will come to four more magenta bats who are sleeping upside-down on the ceiling - and once they've detected your presence they shall wake up and fly towards you. Once you have killed all of them, you will have to crouch down again to walk under another lower part of the ceiling as you come to four more magenta bats who are sleeping upside-down on it; after they've detected your presence, they'll wake up and fly towards you. Once you have killed all of these, six light-green-uniformed soldiers will come running towards you from both sides of the screen - and once you have killed all of them a nineteenth magenta bat will come flying down towards you from the top of the screen. Once you've killed him, three more attack dogs will come running towards you from the right side of the screen; once you've crouched down and killed all of them, a twentieth magenta bat shall come flying down towards you from the top of the screen. After you've killed him, three more attack dogs will come running towards you from the left side of the screen - and once you have turned back to the left, crouched down, and killed all of them, you shall have to turn back to the right as a twenty-first magenta bat comes flying down towards you from the top of the screen. Once you've killed this bat, four more attack dogs will come running towards you from both sides of the screen; once you have crouched down and killed all of these, a twenty-second magenta bat shall come flying down towards you from the top of the screen. Once you've killed him, six more light-green-uniformed soldiers will come running towards you from both sides of the screen - and once you've killed all of these, two more hunchbacked mutants will jump out of the sewage in front of you (however, if either or both players walk under these mutants while they are in mid-air, they shall have to turn back to the left to fight them).

After you've stabbed both of these mutants five times (or thrown five shurikens at both of them) to kill them (each hit is, again, indicated by them hissing from the Yamaha YM-2610, and their deaths are also worth ten more additional shurikens), you shall come to five more magenta bats who are sleeping upside-down on the ceiling; once they have detected your presence, they shall wake up and fly towards you. Once you have killed all of them, you shall have to crouch down once again to walk under a third lower part of the ceiling, as you come to three more magenta bats who are sleeping upside-down on it - and once they have detected your presence they shall wake up and fly towards you. Once you have killed all of these bats, two more light-green-uniformed soldiers will come running towards you from the right side of the screen (along with a red-haired, black-suited, Katana-sword-wielding female ninja); once you've killed both of the soldiers, you'll have to stab the female ninja five times (or throw five shurikens that do not get blocked at her) to kill her (each hit shall be indicated by her shrieking from the Yamaha YM-2610, and her death is also worth five more extra shurikens). Two more magenta bats shall then come flying down towards you from the top of the screen - and once you have killed both of them, you will come to three more magenta bats who are sleeping upside-down on the ceiling. Once they have detected your presence they will wake up and fly towards you; once you have killed all of them four teal-uniformed soldiers will come running towards you from the right side of the screen. After you kill all of them, eight more light-green-uniformed soldiers shall come running towards you from both sides of the screen - and once you have killed all of these, four more magenta bats shall come flying down towards you from the top of the screen. Once you have killed all of them, nine more light-green-uniformed soldiers will come running towards you from both sides of the screen; once you have killed all of them, seven more attack dogs will come running towards you from both sides of the screen. Once you have crouched down and killed all of them, three more light-green-uniformed soldiers shall come running towards you from both sides of the screen - and once you have killed all of them, a fortieth magenta bat shall come flying down towards you from the top of the screen. Once you've killed him, you shall have to crouch down yet again to walk under a fourth lower part of the ceiling as you come to four more magenta bats who are sleeping upside-down on it; once they've detected your presence, they'll wake up and start flying towards you. Once you have killed all of these, a light-blue-suited, demonic-masked, twin-sword-wielding male ninja shall materialise ahead of you - and after you've stabbed him four times (or thrown four shurikens which do not get blocked at him) to kill him (him dying is also again worth five more extra shurikens), a thirty-fifth light-green-uniformed soldier will come running into view from the right side of the screen (along with another red-haired, black-suited, Katana-sword-wielding female ninja).

After you've killed the soldier, you will have to stab the female ninja five times (or throw five shurikens that do not get blocked at her) to kill her (each hit is again indicated by her shrieking from the Yamaha YM-2610, and her death is also once again worth five more extra shurikens); you will then come to two more magenta bats who are sleeping upside-down on the ceiling. Once they have detected your presence, they will wake up and fly towards you - and once you have killed both of them, another light-blue-suited, demonic-masked, twin-sword-wielding male ninja will materialise in front of you. Once you have stabbed him four times (or thrown four shurikens that do not get blocked at him) to kill him (him dying is also, yet again, worth five more extra shurikens), two more attack dogs will come running towards you from both sides of the screen; once you have crouched down and killed both of them, four more light-green-uniformed soldiers will come running towards you from both sides of the screen. Once you've killed all of them, you shall have to crouch down for a fifth time to walk under a fifth lower part of the ceiling, as you come to two more magenta bats who are sleeping upside-down on it - and once they have detected your presence, they shall wake up and fly towards you. Once you have killed both of them, you will come to a forty-ninth magenta bat who's sleeping upside-down on the ceiling; once he's detected your presence, he will wake up and fly towards you. Once you have killed him you'll have to crouch down for a sixth time to walk under a sixth lower part of the ceiling as you come to two more magenta bats who are sleeping upside-down on it - and once they have detected your presence, they shall wake up and fly towards you. Once you have killed both of them, a fortieth light-green-uniformed soldier will come running towards you from the right side of the screen; once you've killed him the stage's boss (who is a mace- and grappling-hook-wielding male samurai) shall walk into view from the right side of the screen and say I kill you! from the Yamaha YM-2610 while a fourth hunchbacked mutant drops down to the ground to the rear of you. After you momentarily turn back to the left and stab the mutant five times (or throw five shurikens at him) to kill him (each hit shall, once again, be indicated by him hissing from the Yamaha YM-2610, and him dying is also, for a fifth time, worth five more extra shurikens), you will have to turn back to the right and stab the samurai fifteen times (or throw fifteen shurikens that do not get blocked at him) to kill him (his death is also, for a sixth time, worth five more extra shurikens) - and Kunoichi and Ninja will then walk over to a ladder on the screen's right side and perform a super-jump up off the top of the screen. Both players shall now receive a bonus of 50 points for every shuriken they have remaining (along with one of 30 points for every fragment of energy they have remaining), and proceed onward to the sixth stage (which is set above ground again, and the second to feature staircases, which must again be used to reach its boss within the five-minute time limit).
